Get Skin Like Halle Berry: Healthy and Flawless



Halle Berry is truly beautiful. One of her best features is her flawless, glowing skin. More and more, it is being proven that processed sugar and Flour are not only horrible for the body, but on many people create skin issues such as acne and rosacia. Here are some examples of foods to avoid, and others to eat to keep your skin healthy looking.

Of course, another large part of healthy skin is using skincare and makeup that is pure and natural-based. Many cosmetics are laiden with toxic chemicals and ingredients that don't allow the skin to breathe.

Start from the inside by eating foods your body can handle:

Rapid Inducers of Insulin* (Try not to eat these!!!)
Soda Pop, Alcohol, Candy, Candy Bars, Puffed Rice,
French Fries, White Bread, White Rice, Carrots,
Corn, Bananas, Raisans, Apricots, Ice Cream, Corn
Chips, Potato Chips.....

Moderate Inducers of Insulin (Eat them once in a while)
Pasta, Spaghetti, Cereals, Oranges, Orange Juice,
Peas, Baked Beans, Garbanzo Beans, Navy Beans...

Low Inducers of Insulin (Eat all you want!!!!)
Beef, Chicken, Fish, Poultry, Nuts, Whole Grain Rye
Bread, Barley, Cheese, Kidney Beans, Lima Beans,
Apples....

Also, foods rich in Vitamin A help to promote beautiful skin: Carrots, Yams, Broccoli......
I swear by Kimberly Snyder's green smoothie...rich in lots of good stuff that is great for helping to make the blood more alkaline, and also balance the skin. See the recipe HERE.
