Pretty by Nature

Change is on the Horizon

Why is it that the people that are the least informed and most ignorant on a subject are the most vocal? It’s always the person with the worst fashion sense ever who will criticize your wardrobe choices. I think the problem is that the people with common sense don’t want to speak up. I am going to change that now and start being more vocal about what I know to be true. I may as well start my New Year’s resolution early.

Okay, are you listening? You sure? Come closer. STOP SABOTAGING YOUR HEALTH. Just stop it, that’s enough. We all know the deal, it’s no shocker. Don’t let stupid people convince you that an all protein diet and a diet pill that gives you oily anal discharge is okay. Here are a few things that are beneficial for your health and as an added bonus will make your skin look great.

1. High Fructose Corn Syrup is the devil. It is so bad for you and it’s in everything. You have to be and investigative reporter to find regular food without it. All that sugar wreaks havoc on your immune system and complexion. Did you know that almost every brand of bread, white and whole wheat, has it among the first five ingredients? Eliminate this from your diet and I promise that within days you will notice a difference.

2. Probiotics will cure what ails ya. I always take a probiotic, such as Cultrelle, while taking a course of antibiotics. I have seen research that recommends taking one daily will improve Eczema.

3. Flax seed oil will make your skin, hair and nails look healthy and shiny. Among the many benefits to your heart, it just makes you look healthier. It comes in capsule or liquid form. Start your day with a bowl of oatmeal with flax seed oil and fresh blueberries and you will add ten years to your life.

4. Drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day. No seriously eight of them, just water. Not water with Crystal Light in it. I know everyone knows this but few actually do it. I started being diligent about adhering to this while pregnant and nursing and it just made the biggest difference in the texture and look of my skin.

5. Every meal shouldn’t come out of a box. Broccoli doesn’t come out of the ground battered with a side of ranch dressing. If you are a vegetarian, that doesn’t mean that you get to eat Pringles all day and call yourself healthy. The food you eat should look like it does in it’s natural state before you cook it. If you want chocolate chip cookies, fine. Just make them yourself so you know that there are no baddies in there. Do I really have to go into what this will do for your health and the way you look? Okay, thank you.

None of this should be an eye opener to people but I hope it’s motivation to turn things around. Maybe if we play to their vanities it will wake some poeple up. Like, “Hey crack will give you pimples”. OMG then totally I’m done.  Maybe that’s not close enough to your own life. How about, “That Diet Coke you have every day at 3:00 will make your hair look less bouncy”. Change doesn’t have to come on a specific day and charity shouldn’t just be on Christmas and Thanksgiving.
