Healthy skin from the inside out

Skin as soft as a baby's...

I think that the path to lasting beauty is from the inside out and not from a bottle or jar. That really isn't too surprising since, like most good things in life, beautiful skin takes work and persistence.  And, the road to success is more likely if you start from the inside  by eating healthy foods. Of course, a good, natural skin cream or oil will supplement these efforts.
I just read some really great information on foods to provide healthy skin on the website http://www.aloelife.com/.  I thought that it was great information to share with those who are seeking great health and beauty.

Let's take a look at a really healthy sounding diet for those looking to glow from the inside out.

Foods for health and beauty

It is recommended to get a good, well rounded balance of fruits and vegetables.  Below are some suggestions.  Remember, that it is important to keep track of serving portions.  A key ot the individualized serving of protein is  your weight  multiplied by 0.6.

A serving of carbs such as potatoes, rice or pasta is one half cup; or 1 slice bread, 1/2 bagel, 1/2 bun, 1 cup dried cereal.

Fruits

Fruits vary but here's some suggestions as to serving sizes: 1/2 large grapefruit, 1/2 half 1 melon wedge,1/2 cup of canned fuits, 1/4 vcup of dried fruit.cup berries.

1 melon wedge

1/4 cup dry fruit

Vegetables

1/2 cup raw or cooked vegetables

Remember also that plenty of water helps to keep the skin clear and fresh as well as flushes the kidney of impurities.
