The basics of the relationship between food and your skin

Your skin is helped by various factors: staying out of the sun, a good night’s sleep and of course eating the right foods to get the proper vitamins.

As a general rule, your body cannot manufacture the vitamins it needs from scratch. So you need to get them from the food you eat, or some other way. Vitamins are required by the body for its various biological processes. These include growth(Vitamin B6); mental alertness (Choline, Niacin); resistance to infection (Vitamin C and Vitamin E). They also act as catalysts in the body’s chemistry as well as precursors to vital body factors. This enables the body to use carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Healthy skin can be obtained from eating right. We’ve got a lot of meal replacement options available, but you can also make some lifestyle changes too. Eating fruits and vegetables are an easy way of obtaining vitamins, but there are other options too. It’s all about doing your homework.

Phew!

Researchers in a recent study say that eating whole grains can cut the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Analysis of data from 39,765 men and 157,463 women found an 11% reduction in the development of Type 2 diabetes among people who ate two or more servings of brown rice per week compared with people who ate less than one serving a month.

After adjusting for a number of dietary and lifestyle risk factors, the researchers found that people who ate five or more servings per week of white rice were 17 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who ate less than one serving of white rice per month. In contrast, people who ate two or more servings of brown rice per week were 11 per cent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who ate less than one serving of brown rice per month, the study authors reported.

Well, folks, we knew it all along. Whole grains are delicious! We’ve got a family of Nutribar whole grain meal replacement bars for you to choose from, everything from Cinnamon Bun to Cranberry Crunch.
