Bad skin food

As long as fruit is eaten without fat (no nuts, no nut butters, no oils, no butter) the sugar in the fruit doesn't linger in the bloodstream ,  it is immediately used by cells for energy.

Fat eaten with sugar hinders the ability of a cell to absorb the sugar. 


Eating fruit is one of the best things you can do for your skin as it is hydrating and packed with nutrients. 


It's probably not a good idea to get a science lesson from a skin care 'expert'.

What are flavonoids ??


Flavonoids are water-soluble plant pigments that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can counteract damage to tissues.

Students from UCLA made the conclusion based on a study of the dietary habits of smokers with and without lung cancer.

The flavonoids that appeared to be most effective were catechin (found in strawberries and green and black teas), kaempferol (Brussels sprouts and apples) and quercetin, (beans, onions and apples).

Flavonoids may protect against lung cancer by stopping the development of blood vessels that tumors need to grow and spread.

They may also stop cancer cells from growing, allowing a naturally programmed cell death, or apoptosis, to occur.
