prior to your period avoid salty and processed foods make sure you re getting enough calcium and magnesium calcium can help with mood issues like depression as well as cramps try these yoga postures to relieve cramps posted by veganaly at 6 09 pm 3 comments labels calcium diva cup magnesium menstrual cups mentrual cramps pms monday january 25 2010 eat for beauty the anti inflammatory diet this was written for another website i m working on but it pertains to holistic beauty practices so i thought i d post it here too to all the vegan readers you may need to put on the earmuffs here and there because i do mention animal consumption without being totally disparaging don t freak out on me i haven t become a lierre kieth follower haha for a toned physique a clear healthy complexion bright eyes shiny hair and skin that ages chronologically rather than prematurely you ve got to feed your body well and the foods to focus on might surprise you a bit if you grew up with the usda food pyramid like most of us did the anti inflammatory diet is not a calorie counting low fat bland boring eating plan it is a nutritious and rejuvenating way of nourishing your body with delicious foods that keep you satisfied energized and looking completely radiant based on the research and writings of dr floyd h chilton dr nicholas perricone and to some extent dr mary enig the simplified information below may be the best health and beauty tool you will ever find and has forever changed the way i eat it should be made clear that the anti inflammatory diet is based on some revolutionary ideas and a truly holistic understanding of the body the basis of this diet is that it is not high cholesterol or fats or merely eating too much that makes our bodies unhealthy and causes disease the real culprit is chronic inflammation on the cellular level in our bodies you may not be able to see this inflammation from the outside but if you re eating inflammatory foods it is almost certainly present in your cells while the body s inflammatory response is perfectly natural and necessary when it needs to protect and repair itself too much or too often is harmful chronic cellular inflammation is thought to be the underlying cause disease obesity to some extent and premature aging and wrinkles among other skin problems inflammation can be caused by stress chemicals and most commonly by eating the wrong foods western cultures like ours have simply been doing it all wrong since the advent of industrial agriculture that brought us grains and refined foods read on to learn about all the amazing foods you should be eating as well as the ones you should avoid for gorgeous skin and a healthy body vegetables low starch veggies like dark leafy greens kale collards spinach dark lettuce etc broccoli asparagus and cabbage pack some of the highest nutrient content of all foods and are very anti inflammatory your day should be brimming with these and ideally they should be present at every meal a great way to work veggies into your morning is to add them to a scramble or throw some spinach into a fruit smoothie you should limit or avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes yams sweet potatoes and corn as these contribute to inflammation by breaking down as simple carbs in the body nuts and seeds raw and organic and ideally soaked for several hours nuts and seeds are an incredible source of vitamins minerals good fats and protein particularly if you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet nuts and seeds should be an essential part of your daily food plan my personal favorites are almonds sunflower seeds pumpkin seeds and flax fruits nature s candy is there anything more wonderful than fruit enjoy a couple of fresh servings each day when it comes to preventing inflammation berries are especially helpful fish for those that eat meat high quality fish is an excellent choice it is high in essential fatty acids and is a good source of protein and other nutrients that plump up the skin and help it to resist aging and blemishing any fish you eat should always be labeled wild and salmon is highly recommended legumes all beans and lentils are so ultra nutritious and fiber rich that they offset their carbohydrate factor they are such complex carbohydrates that they provide your body with energy and fuel without having a negative impact on blood sugar or causing inflammation a great source of iron for vegans meat and poultry eggs another good source of protein and fats for those who do not follow a vegetarian or vegan diet any meat you eat should be labeled as certified organic and grass fed not vegetarian grain fed dairy yogurt kefir and some cheeses like cottage cheese can play a helpful role in your diet but ensure that these are also organic and free of sugar yogurt and kefir are especially beneficial due to their natural probiotic content if you choose vegan yogurt remember to check that it is unsweetened grains although the usda recommends many servings of grains each day most grains cause blood sugar spikes and a huge inflammatory response compared to other foods they have a low nutrient content with a more negative impact on the body it can be very helpful for your skin and health to avoid wheat and wheat flours rice and corn opt instead for two very complex ancient grains buckwheat groats and plain oats no sugar added oils coconut oil and olive oil are great sources of healthy fats that give your skin a beautiful glow i prefer to use coconut oil when cooking because it is more stable when heated and resists free radical production coconut oil is an incredible food it is heart healthy despite its saturated fat content and has even been found to contribute to weight loss herbs and spices these are the key to flavoring all the foods mentioned above to create delicious dishes most herbs and spices are not only anti inflammatory but are also germ fighters and detoxifiers rely first on flavoring foods properly with these before you add more salt or sweetness use freely sugar speaking of sweetness sugar is your worst enemy when it comes to a healthy body and youthful skin sugar and anything containing sugar corn syrup cane juice maple syrup etc wreak havoc on our bodies and comprise one of the biggest contributors to aging skin furthermore the more we eat these sweet things the more we want them because our bodies develop almost insatiable cravings for sugar and simple carbs when they are present in our diets eliminating sugar from your diet could be the single best thing you ever do for your body and once you ve done it for awhile the cravings completely subside indulge in fresh fruit instead when you really need a sweetener that behaves like sugar opt for the natural alternatives stevia or erithrytol other things to avoid to prevent inflammation alcohol caffeine except in green white tea coffee processed and fast foods fried foods packaged foods preservatives and stabilizers vegetable oils like corn soybean and canola food coloring and artificial sweeteners additional tips drink at least 64 oz of pure water each day get your beauty sleep emphasize raw foods in your diet invest in high quality supplements like those from new chapter and vitamin code and treat yourself to regular exercise all of these reduce inflammation to keep your skin and body in optimal shape to learn more about the anti inflammatory diet read dr chilton s inflammation nation or any of dr perricone s books consult a doctor or nutritionist before making any changes to your diet especially if you have been diagnosed with any health conditions or take any prescriptions posted by veganaly at 3 54 pm 13 comments wednesday december 30 2009 amazing aloe in 2009 i have discovered the joys of two amazing ingredients that i now use every single day aloe vera juice and unrefined coconut oil this post is about aloe i ll save coconut oil for next time aloe vera is a desert succulent plant with a tough green exterior and a translucent fleshy interior while we usually see aloe sold in bottles looking like bright green gel this is not actually its natural state color gelling agents stabilizers preservatives and even fragrance may be added to aloe juice to create that emerald concoction we see on store shelves true aloe vera is a clear gelatinous fillet cut straight from the plant or is also available as pure juice you can find gallon jugs of aloe vera juice 99 organic aloe vera juice with citric acid potassium sorbate or some other food grade preservative at trader joe s or health food stores like whole foods most of us know that aloe is an excellent remedy for sunburns and rashes but it does sooo much more than that here are some of aloe s wonderful benefits anti inflammatory topically and internally anti bacterial anti viral anti fungal detoxifying topically and internally amino acid vitamin and mineral rich immune boosting scar healing tissue repairing promotes healthy digestion about a year ago my facialist and i were talking about my very difficult skin that has for years been prone to inflammation and cystic breakouts due to hormones stress etc she said hey do you ever drink aloe juice it just occurred to me that this might be helpful to you this thought was based on the fact i think that she perceived my skin concerns to be emotionally seated and the result of a fire liver imbalance ayurvedically speaking the day of her recommendation i went out and bought a jug of organic aloe vera juice and began drinking the recommended serving of 2 to 8 ounces each day let me tell you it s got a strong tart taste that strikes you as fairly unpleasant i recommend mixing it with a 100 juice at first i promise it gets easier i now drink 6 oz each morning mixed with 6 oz of water not only have i gotten used to the taste but i now crave it if i have to go without on a trip to new york i had to run into a whole foods in manhattan for a small bottle of pure aloe vera juice and could hardly wait to crack it open outside i also mist it onto my face twice a day in place of a toner as for the benefits i experienced aloe has been the number one factor in helping to clear up my skin minimize pores and scarring and reduce hyperpigmentation and redness in fact i went went without it for a month and my skin began to backslide but quickly cleared up as i started drinking it again a couple of weeks ago this effect inspired me to blog about this amazing plant i also recently learned that my great aunt who has now outlived all her siblings drinks aloe vera juice every single day i will follow her example and keep it a part of my morning for the rest of my life as i can t say enough good things about aloe and i encourage others to try it if they feel it may help them too just like with any supplement check with your doctor before taking it internally posted by veganaly at 2 58 pm 3 comments labels acne aloe vera gel aloe vera juice aloe vera plant anti bacterial anti fungal anti0viral inflammation monday december 21 2009 natural exfoliator recipe and exfoliation advice i have been experimenting over the past several weeks with a simple blend to help skin with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation sun spots acne and pore congestion and have had great success apple cider vinegar and aloe are both excellent for clearing blemishes and fading pigmentation associated with blemishes sun exposure age and hormonal changes mix 1 tsp organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar with 5 tsp organic pure aloe vera juice not gel you can buy this in 8 gallons from trader joe s for sensitive or over processed skin use 1 2 tsp apple cider vinegar and 8 tsp aloe vera juice mix the two ingredients and apply to clean skin patting gently with a cotton ball don t scrub or drag the cotton ball over the skin or just with your fingers taking care not to get any in your eyes if you experience noticeable itching or burning then you should rinse immediately leave this on for two minutes no longer rinse with tepid water mist the skin with pure aloe juice and follow with your moisturizer store the rest in the fridge use no more than 3 times per week with at least two full days between applications do not use any other scrubs or exfoliators if you add this treatment to your skin care routine protect your skin with a zinc oxide or titanium dioxide sunscreen during the day your skin may look rosy in the areas you treated with this mix for a couple of hours after application so i recommend doing this at night if redness is severe persists for a long time or if your skin feels uncomfortable you should use less apple cider vinegar in your mix and leave it on for less than two minutes the key to successful exfoliation is restraint just because your skin looks great the day after this 2 minute treatment this does not mean it will look even better if you use a stronger mix or use it more often acv and aloe may be natural ingredients but they are very active especially the apple cider vinegar acv should never be applied undiluted this is serious business so if you stray from this recipe only do so by reducing the acv not increasing it update after using this recipe for many weeks i find best results using it only twice a month so this is the frequency of use i recommend for the greatest benefit whether using this mix or another exfoliator watch for signs of excessive exfoliation symptoms of over processed or over exfoliated skin skin that is oily yet dry at the same time feeling the need to exfoliate very frequently flakiness itchiness and redness or red patches excessive dryness or excessive oiliness peeling and irritation chronic acne breakouts pore congestion accompanied by general inflammation heightened sensitivity to the sun a feeling of thinned skin over time giving your skin a break from excessive exfoliation can yield a clear plump smooth complexion that maintains its natural balance and defies premature signs of aging tips for breaking the cycle try backing off gradually if you exfoliate everyday cut down to every other day and then ease off to less and less frequent treatments massage instead facial massage actually helps lift away build up enhances circulation stimulates the skin for increased collagen production and improves pore function if you are using a creamy cleanser you can massage for a full minute or more while cleansing you can also massage with a light oil or an organic and very emollient cream or lotion drink enough water that feeling of needing to exfoliate to work through congested or rough skin is often a result of insufficient hydration 64 oz per day of pure water can do wonders for the skin resist th...
