We have all heard of the saying "you are what you eat". The fact is TRUE.

Recently, I have been vigilant about taking vitamins for my skin. The effects are proof that my new regime is working.

Omega 3-help maintain cell membranes so that they are effective barriers--allowing water and nutrients in, and keeping toxins out. Omega-3s also seem to be able to protect skin against sun damage. In a study of skin cancer, people who ate diets rich in fish oils and other omega 3 fats had a 29% lower risk of squamous cell cancer than those who got very little omega 3 fats from food.

Ester C- is involved in collagen production and protects cells from free radical damage. Scientific studies found that when lab animals ate vitamin C-fortified food, their skin was better able to fight off oxidative damage. That said, replenish your skin's vitamin C stores by eating plenty of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid- it has been demonstrated that free radical damage is one of the leading causes of the symptoms we know as aging. As we get older, the levels of free radicals in our bodies increase, causing a decrease in the efficiency of our cells. This leads to a lack of energy, lower immune system function among other issues. Coincidentally, the levels of ALA in our bodies decrease with age as the free radical activity increases. Supplementation with ALA can help reverse this process.

So start popping those pills!
 

I just discovered Agave syrup.   It's a great alternative to sugar or honey.    Use it in coffee, tea or drinks and you can cook with it too.    Low glycemic index is great for cutting carbs and keeping you healthy.    

 Organic Agave is the perfect sweetening option for those concerned with sugar in their diet or with cutting empty carbohydrates. Agave, sourced from the cactus-like agave plant in Mexico, is an organic, plant-derived sweetener with a glycemic index of only 11. (The glycemic index assigns normal carbohydrate glucose the number 100. Generally, the lower the glycemic index, the less impact a particular food will have on blood sugar levels.)

 Formerly a favorite food of the Aztecs, agave is high in fructose rather than glucose, which allows it to be absorbed slowly into the blood stream, avoiding the "rush" often associated with refined sugar.

Raise your hand, not to block the sun: but to salute Colore Science Suncreen.

As an avid surfer and nature lover, I find myself always outdoors. Which means, I have shelled out countless penny's for the top of the line Sunscreens.

My Criteria:

• Protect my face and body from receiving to much sun thus one day making me look like a worn leather bag

• Do not clog my pores and make me sweat or breakout because puss is evil
  

• Do not wear off in the water and cause me to suffer from sunburn and look like a beef steak tomato
  

• Do not change my skin to milky color and screw up my healthy tan

Nothing has worked better then Colore Science.
 

Made in powder form it does not leave you greasy but gives a matte finish. It lasts up to 2 hours in the water and is 30SPF.

I have heard that 30SPF is the highest SPF and all else is false advertising.

Either way, not only do I want a life time supply, I want to buy stock. So stock up, and get ready for summer.
