When we are stressed and have, what feels like, too much to do we often scarf down our meals which can lead to indigestion, heart burn, weight gain, you name it! Try and relax and take a break when you eat. Eat slowly and try to relax while doing so. Try to drink plenty of water as well and if you see your glass is empty, get up, stretch and refill. These little things will actually help you perform your job better than pounding through all day long and will help you feel fresh when jumping back on the treadmill of life and ready for what the rest of the day will throw you! A healthy less stressed you will result in healthy less stressed skin, hurray!

“Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it with use.” – Ruth Gordon

Silica, a trace mineral found in various foods including green beans, strawberries, asparagus, green and red peppers and cucumber, is essential for healthy skin. Silica helps in strengthening connective tissues like muscles, nails, cartilage and hair. Its shortage can result in reduced skin elasticity and can also slow down the body’s ability to heal wounds. So eat your fruits and veggies to increase skin elasticity and youthfulness!
