SOME FOOD HABITS THAT RUIN YOUR BEAUTIFUL SKIN

We all want and cherish a beautiful skin. Just as there are foods that help improve the quality of our skin, there are also foods that ruin our beautiful skin.
It’s important you watch what you eat if you don’t want to ruin your beautiful skin.
Here are 6 food habits that ruin your beautiful skin
1. ALCOHOL
Excessive alcohol consumption isn’t good for your skin as it can lead to premature wrinkles, loss of collagen, elasticity, redness, dehydration and puffiness. Excessive alcohol consumption isn’t good for the skin as it leads to dry skin due to reduction in absorption of nutrients from foods by the skin.
2. REFINED CARBOHYDRATES
Refined carbohydrates like bread, juice, pasta, and candy isn’t good for the skin as they could lead to acne and wrinkles due to their tendency to spike blood sugar levels. Substitute refined carbohydrates with whole grains, protein and vegetables to protect your skin.
3. SUGAR
A diet high in sugar isn’t good for your skin as it degrades the quality of collagen leading to a skin which is more prone to wrinkling and sagging.
4. COFFEE
A high coffee consumption isn’t good for the skin as it leads to increased cortisol in the body. Excess cortisol in the body is bad for the skin as it causes fine lines and wrinkles in the skin. Moderation in the consumption of coffee is important.
5. SALT
Excessive salt consumption can lead to puffy eyes and dark circles. This is because excessive salt in the body causes tissues to swell, making your face seem puffy and tired. Minimize your salt intake if you want to protect your skin.
6. INADEQUATE HEALTHY FATS
Skipping good fats can lead to dry skin and wrinkles. Healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids are needed by the skin as they help the skin maintain hydration and prevent wrinkles. Foods such as fish, walnuts and soybeans provides the body with healthy fats.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region.
