Three Age-Defying Secrets of The Beauty Diet
Discover how to create beauty within yourself through the foods that you eat each day
by David Wolfe
Where are you headed with your current diet?
Different foods fuel different potentials for success, and different destinies. What you are eating now is leading you to a certain destination.
One of life’s greatest goals is to design a proper diet for ourselves; one that makes us feel amazing in each moment, leads us to limitless beauty, and increases longevity. My desire is to provide you with clues and tools—not rules—on how to do this.
These days, people are finally beginning to realize that chemical and artificial diets and unnatural treatments for the skin, hair, and body are not as effective as natural methods. The resurgence of the popularity of olive oil as a moisturizer is just one testament to this change. Natural organic foods and treatments are back—and their popularity is growing at a startling pace.
The Beauty Diet, or the adaptation of an all-natural living plant food regimen and lifestyle, is not just about maintaining beauty, or even slowing the aging process. It’s about rejuvenation at the deepest level. It is about recreating one’s internal and external appearance.
One who eats for beauty becomes a work of art in progress. Nature’s paint brush immediately sets about applying food-mineral cosmetics to the inner tissues, which become visible externally in the warm, vivid, youthful freshness of the hair, nails, and skin.
The Beauty Diet is based on principles of raw nourishment—representing the cutting edge in nutritional science. We now know that raw plant foods—especially high-quality fats and oils—can restore elasticity to the tissues. Green-leafy vegetables provide fiber and alkalinity to help keep us clean on the inside. The symmetry of fruit imparts its pattern upon us. Mineralized foods, those high in silicon and magnesium, can restore mineral density to the bones, hair, and teeth.
The Beauty Diet is also based on the principle of simplicity. Simple life shifts work. The more complicated a diet is, the more likely it is to fail. Here are three simple concepts from The Beauty Diet that you can put to work, right now!
Silicon Comes from Nature, Not Your Local Plastic Surgeon
Silicon is a conscious mineral, seemingly possessing a form of intelligence. While it’s no secret that we attribute our modern economic advances to silicon technology, one of the world’s greatest beauty secrets is that silicon possesses many hidden healing properties.
Silicon is present in blood vessels, bones, cartilage, connective tissue, hair, ligaments, lungs, lymph nodes, muscles, nails, skin, teeth, tendons, and the trachea. Generally, one is more youthful when there us more silicon in relation to calcium present in the body. The ratio of silicon to calcium is a biological marker of youth. At birth, the body has a large supply of the youth mineral silicon, and low calcium. With age, the ratio reverses.
Silicon keeps the blood warm and helps to direct the flow of electricity imparted through the electrolyte salts in the blood and it maintains the elasticity of arterial cell walls.
In bones, silicon is found in areas of active growth, due to its amazing ability to transform into calcium. Silicon-rich foods and herbs have been shown to increase bone-mineral density, leading to a healthy skeleton, beautiful teeth and jaw formation, and reduced tooth and gum decay.
The highest concentration of silicon is found in the hair and nails. A 1993 study found the oral and external application of silicon improves the condition of aging skin, hair, and nails in women. Silicon increased the thickness and strength of the skin, improved wrinkles, and gave hair and nails a healthier appearance.
Silicon-rich foods to add to your diet include:
Bell pepper (with skin)
Burdock root
Cucumber (with skin)
Hemp leaves (easier to access in Canada!)
Horsetail (an herb)
Marjoram
New Zealand Spinach
Radish
Romaine lettuce
Tomato (with skin
