SECTION 1 Foods that Improve your Appearance from the Inside Out More General Health Tips Before moving on to specific health treatments, let’s talk for a minute about getting proper exercise. Of course everyone knows that exercising every day is important to weight control but when you exercise you perspire. This actually clears the body of toxins that can cause blemishes and pimples. Toxins can only be released through the liver, the kidneys and the pores of the skin. As the toxins are released through the pores they will remain on the skin unless you wash them off after exercising. Failure to do this will increase your chances of getting a fungal or bacterial infection. Here are a few more things to consider: • Exercise also tones the body and skin and the more it is toned the better it will look and feel. The appearance of cellulite can be lessened by toning the muscles. The firmer and stronger the muscles the more elastic the skin will appear. • The blood flow and the oxygen level of the body is increased with exercise which in turn flows to the skin. If you are diabetic you will greatly benefit from regular exercise as this will reduce the risk of problems with the skin that can eventually lead to the amputation of limbs. • Exercise does relieve stress and advantages of this do extend to the complexion. Some experts say that stress will cause acne or at least cause flare-ups. Regular workouts can help make skin problems manageable. Exercising helps the skin produce more of it natural oils which will keep your skin looking healthy, glowing and supple. 16
