2. A Sedentary Lifestyle. Like all organs of the
body, the skin gets its nourishment from the
bloodstream. Exercise stimulates circulation and
improves every aspect of your health.
FYI — Your skin is the largest organ in your
body.
Exercise increases oxygenated blood levels in the
body, boosting detoxification and cell renewal in
the skin, literally making you younger at a cellular
level and reversing the damage caused by stress on
the body’s aging process.

secretes growth hormones that helps repair and
rebuild body tissue.

Be sure to consume at least 64oz of
filtered water daily, and an extra
8oz glass for every caffeinated or alcoholic
beverage you drink. Like all organs, the skin is
made up of cells, and skin cells need water to
function properly.
If you are not properly
hydrated, your skin will become dry and flaky, and
dry skin has less resilience and is more wrinkle
prone.
You can also eat your water by consuming lots of
colorful fruits and vegetables. This will also
provide you with micronutrients to nourish your
cells.
Mindfulness is a practice and a discipline. Just do
it!
