Achieving healthy, glowing skin is a popular topic but also one that can also be confusing. Registered dietician and respected nutritionist, EA Stewart, will attest that you really are what you eat. And, the appearance of your skin is often a barometer of your internal health. After all, your skin is the largest organ of the human body, yet we typically don’t think about how to care for it through our diet. And, your skin plays an important role as the protector of your body, keeping us insulated from the elements outside of it.
Growing up, we were told to eat this and not that in the quest for perfect skin only to discover that there really is no one-size-fits-all plan that works well for everyone. So many people strive for healthy and glowing skin yet the various myths and un-truths about what we should and shouldn’t do often cloud our perception of what really are the right things to do. And few people proactively look at the connection between our diet and the health of our skin, which is something we truly have control over.
