Hi guys, this is Eva from Bay Harbour Med Spa. Someone sent an email and asked me if
I believe that diet has something to do with our skin or do I believe that our diet, what
we eat, has an affect on our skin. So first of all, I will tell you, Yes. I'm going to
explain to you a little bit more in detail why I think diet is so crucial in the way
our skin is. There's an old saying from where I come, you are what you eat and it seems
to be quite true. Now note that there is a direct correlation to let's say if you eat
a cheap steak or you drink a cheap glass of wine. No, that's not what I'm talking about.
What I'm talking about is about the fact that our insides are directly correlated to our
outsides. So when our body is overloaded with sugar or our body is overloaded with red meat
or our body is not able to eliminate properly or our liver which is our biggest organ and
a part of our skin and our liver is coated and overloaded and our gallbladder is overloaded
and we cannot, the organ, the liver cannot filter properly cause it's overloaded with
yeast and with sugars, with so many bad things that we put in our system that that effect,
actually, that happens in our organs inside then actually reverses and makes changes in
our skin. So when we are congested inside, our skin will be dull looking. When you are
constipated and you don't go to the bathroom, it has a lot to do with your diet. Your skin
will be ashy looking and dull, unhealthy. There will not be life and color. So this
is how food is so extremely important what we eat and so yes. Food has a link and is
effecting our skin. So what I would say , if I was asking, if you guys would ask me, and
say, "Eva, what do you suggest my diet should consist of. Okay, the first thing that I would
say is stay away from meat. Red meat. I am a big advocate against meat, so stay away
from red meat. If you have to have meat, have chicken. Have turkey, have fish. But don't
eat red meat. Guys, I swear to you. I categorically can tell you from my patients. From my clients
that I treat here in the clinic. People who excessively in the summer, whatever it may
be who start eating meat, their skin becomes so horrible, so ugly when you eat so much
it's like it becomes unhealthy and becomes thick. It's just an unhealthy skin. But if
you eat a balanced diet and if you eat a lot of raw vegetables, fruits, if you eat legumes,
if you eat seeds, if you eat good fats, if you eat cashews, walnuts, almonds, preferably
raw. Sesame seeds. If you eat healthy fats you get protein from them and you take supplements
then, and only then will you benefit. You allow your skin to benefit from the food that
you eat. I would suggest...you don't have to but this is something I...oh and another
thing, gluten, eat gluten-free, whatever you can buy gluten free is great. Great for the
skin too. I would suggest that you read on the internet or inquire. I many, many years
ago read a book, and I reread it recently with my daughter, it makes so much sense you
know, "The Liver Cleansing Diet". It was written by Australian liver cleansing specialist Doctor
Sandra Carbot, I think it's C-A-B-O-T and I think you can find it online it's The Liver
Doctor or Sandra Cabot if you just put in... get her book, get "The Liver Cleansing Diet"
book because that will explain you everything you need to know about everything, about the
process...what happens to our body from inside and then how it affects our outside. So yes,
as a general rule and as a general answer if food definitely diet affects the end results
of our skin and you can observe it yourself that when you change your diet it becomes
much worse not immediately but maybe three or four months later you start seeing changes
in your skin. Why you see the changes? Not because of the food itself because of the
liver, because the liver cannot filter, it cannot process, it's congested, your lymph
nodes are congested and then you pack it, pack it, pack it and then it has to explode,
it has to come, somehow again. It comes out of your skin and pores. And it will change
the texture of your skin and at times, your diet can also stimulate or change certain
hormones in your body and those can be responsible for sugar, for your pancreas, for diabetes,
for excessive weight and so forth. So it is very complex, so in a simple answer. Diet,
health, what you eat, not losing weight but diet, the food that you consume has a lot
to do with your skin. So as I said, I'm not being paid any commission by this doctor,
he just said, I bought the book about twenty twenty-five years ago and we recently reread
it and, you know, sometimes but then you reread it and you say "Oh my God, yes, this makes
sense. And it didn't necessarily make sense twenty-five years ago. It makes sense now."
This is why I talk about it. So guys, until next time, thank you. Keep on asking and I
will keep on answering.
