Strangely enough, the skin is the largest organ in the
human body -- right up there with the intestines, lungs, and liver. It serves many
purposes, including acting as our first defense against germs and the
environment, and converting sunlight to vitamin D.
Our
skin is a reflection of our underlying health, so good nutrition, getting enough sleep, reducing stress, staying hydrated,
etc., all play a role in creating better-looking skin. So it’s
crucial to start taking care of your skin. Prevention plays a big role in skin
aging, the sooner you start the better.
Many dermatologists believe that the major antioxidants (vitamin
A, C, and E) can help decrease the risk of sun and other environmental damage
by disarming wrinkle-causing "free radicals" -- unstable molecules
that damage cells.
Of course, including vitamin A, C,
and E rich fruits and vegetables in your daily diet is a good thing to
be doing for your health, anyway.
3 Minerals Your Skin is Craving: ZINC, SULFUR, SELENIUM
Minerals
are essentially the “spark plugs” of the body, carrying out important bodily
functions through enzyme reactions. They
facilitate the transfer of nutrients across cell membranes with important
assistance from vitamins.
In addition, they maintain PH balance and proper nerve
conduction, contract and relax muscles, provide structural support, and
regulate tissue growth. As you can see, minerals are a must to maintaining a
healthy functioning body, but also to maintain healthy vibrant skin.
Zinc has
incredible benefits in healing and repairing damaged skin, including wound
healing, and because it is also an antioxidant, it protects against UV
radiation.

Sulfur
is the third most abundant mineral in the human body, present in every cell,
with its greatest concentration in hair, skin and nails. Like zinc, many people
are likely eating a diet deficient in sulfur. That alone can cause
initial skin symptoms.
Traditionally, dermatologists recommend topical sulfur
ointments for treating acne, dermatitis, rosacea, eczema and even dandruff.
Topical uses of sulfur date as far back as Hippocrates and even the Romans.
Sulfur preparations and sulfur springs were used to treat skin problems,
relieve pain and to prevent aging.
Selenium is a powerful antioxidant,
paired with vitamin E (another antioxidant) helps to boost glutathione production
in the body, which can potentially help to decrease and control acne.
Like
Zinc, people who have acne typically have low levels of selenium as well. The
combination of antioxidants can create a great anti-inflammatory effect and
fight off free radicals.
P.S. If
you are worried about the quantity of overall vitamins, minerals and other
nutrients in your food or diet, a great insurance is to take 30 drops of HCI
CMD plus 10 tablets of CBF daily. In addition, drink 1 sachet of SJ5 per glass of water before bedtime to keep you hydrated and maintain energy.
