May 29, 2019
Beautiful skin may be helped along by genetics. But to have lasting, healthy skin, you have to eat well.
Your Mother Was Right
More Info & Booking
Remember when your mother told you to eat your vegetables in order to grow up big and strong? It turns out she was right, especially where your skin health is concerned. Beautiful skin may be helped along by genetics. But to have lasting, healthy skin, you have to eat well.
Following a well-rounded, healthy diet chock full of dark green, leafy vegetables, whole grains, beans and lentils, fatty fish like salmon or tuna and lots of naturally-sweetened fruits will definitely keep the blush in your cheeks. Not only will these foods give you the healthy glow of happy skin but you’ll do so much more for your heart health and overall longevity. In fact, most physicians and dermatologists agree that following the Mediterranean diet with its reliance on olive oil, tomatoes, greens, nuts, fish and other good things is one of the best things you can do for your body, overall.
Keep a Healthy Skepticism About Diets on the Internet
In the quest to source the best information about healthy diets for skin and within, many people leave themselves open to bad food and allergy advice on the Internet. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), it’s easy to get fooled by online “experts”. Sometimes, in order to drive traffic to a website, unscrupulous people will tout a vitamin supplement or medication that is unproven and may even be harmful.
Skin Supplements and Food Allergies
When you’re browsing online, remember that you can’t get a skin diagnosis on the Internet. Whenever you have a question about a skin inflammation or an unfamiliar vitamin supplement, check with your doctor or dermatologist. For example, a host of products have popped up that advertise being “gluten-free”. But gluten may or may not be the source of any skin inflammation because gluten is not naturally inflammatory, according to the AAD guidelines.
Foods Can Hurt Your Skin, Too
We’ve already mentioned the foods that can do a body (including your skin) good. Bear in mind that a diet high in refined sugars, processed foods, trans fats and fatty carbs can also hurt your total body by clogging up your arteries, adding to weight gain and speeding up aging. Fried foods are among the worst culprits robbing your skin of vital nutrients. So, instead of picking up another fried chicken leg, eat a peach. Your skin will love you for it.

If you follow the latest trends in health and beauty, you’ve probably heard the term “peptides” more than once. But what are peptides, really, and why are they suddenly everywhere—from skincare products to weight loss programs?
If you feel like you’ve done everything right—cut calories, hit the gym, tried every diet under the sun—but the scale won’t budge, you’re not alone. The truth is, weight loss is complicated, and sometimes your body’s own biology gets in the way. That’s where peptides come in.
If you’ve been searching for a skincare ingredient that actually delivers, peptides should be on your radar. These tiny molecules have a big impact, making them a go-to in both topical products and advanced med spa treatments.
Has your hair lost its shine or started thinning? Are your nails breaking more easily than they used to? These are common issues, and they often point back to the proteins that give hair and nails their structure: keratin and collagen.
Peptides aren’t just about looks—they’re also gaining attention for their potential to support cardiovascular health, particularly when it comes to blood pressure.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a committed gym-goer, or just want to stay active as you age, recovery matters as much as effort. Peptides are being embraced by athletes and active people alike for their ability to support muscle repair, reduce inflammation, and help build lean muscle.
