Water Water Everywhere

Many people know that it’s important to stay hydrated throughout the day to live a healthy lifestyle. After all, the body depends on water to function properly. What some people don’t know is it’s equally important to stay hydrated to keep the skin looking supple and soft. That’s because the body pulls water from the skin to where it’s needed more during dehydration.  So, how much is enough? Most people can take their body weight and divide it in half and drink that much water in ounces.  That means a person who weighs 160 pounds should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. The best way to ensure that you’re drinking enough water is to have it with you wherever you go. Just fill up a large water bottle the night before so it’s ready to go in the morning.   It’s also a good idea to keep bottled water in the car and at the office.  This creates a situation where there’s always water to drink.  If you don’t have a water bottle already opt for a stainless steel or a glass bottle as plastic water bottles aren’t always your best option: http://www.naturalnews.com/038003_bottled_water_plastic_environment.html.

 

More Healthy Fats Please

Another thing that can be increased in the average person’s diet is omega 3 fatty acids.  It’s found in fish, walnuts, flaxseeds, and fish oil tablets and helps skin cells stay healthy.  That’s vital to having good looking skin, because healthy skin cells do a better job holding water. This of course is the key to looking hydrated. “If you want to get the maximum benefit of consuming omega 3 fatty acids you should opt to get them from a variety of sources. One way to do this is to have the tablets with breakfast, have walnuts for a snack, and have salmon over a salad for lunch. Again, it’s important to have everything ready the night before so you don’t forget about in the morning.  Your skin will thank you later.”, says Dr. Barrett .

Cut Back on Coffee

Few things get the morning going like a steaming cup of coffee in the morning.  However, an all day coffee drinking marathon isn’t good for people who want their skin to sparkle in 2015.  Coffee is actually a diuretic and will draw water from the body.  This isn’t good for people who are trying to increase the amount of water they’re taking in. That’s because the over consumption of coffee can sometimes make you look older.   If you’re used to drinking coffee throughout the day you can start replacing it with herbal fruit teas. It’ll give you the satisfaction of drinking something warm and won’t thwart your efforts to stay hydrated.

Wear Sunscreen

The last three tips helped achieve healthy skin from the inside.  This tip works on on the outside and is one that bears repeating because it does a lot of good.  People who want to look young need to wear sunscreen everyday Sunscreen acts like a barrier between the sun and your skin.  Wearing it every day can prevent a lot of harmful damage and leave your skin looking fresh and soft. You can start by wearing an SPF 15 sunscreen on your face and neck. Since your skin is your largest organ make sure you use a natural skin screen that is free from preservatives, parabens, and any other unwholesome additives.

It seems that 2015 can be the year when people look great just by taking better care of themselves by drinking more water, sipping less coffee, swallowing fish oil tablets, and slathering on a little natural sunscreen everyday.  All of these tips are easy to follow and can be started today.
