Our skin anatomy
• Called the largest
organ
• Layers
• Top layer of the
epidermis – dead
skin cells
• Basal layer – bottom
layer of epidermis –
where new skin cells
are generated
• Skin is a living organ
• Skin care really begins in the inside
• Skin is nourished by food and damaged by
toxins
• Skin health is a reflection of how nutrients
are absorbed & wastes are being removed
Dermis – dermal layer
• All cells living
• Blood vessels, sweat
glands, elastin fibers,
collagen, lymphatics
• Nutrition – due to
blood supply here
Dermis
• Age spots, blemishes and deeper wrinkles
occur here
• Healthy conditions = internal organs
eliminate waste
• Unhealthy conditions = wastes back up
into the blood system
• Wastes end up in the skin - a living organ
Acne
• Accumulated waste in
the sebaceous gland
Acne
• Protection of organs from wastes
• Mostly a reflection of bacteria, protein and
animal fat in the body
• Inflammatory
• Help - with good diet
How skin is damaged
• Poor diet (coffee, black tea, nutrient
deficient food, sugar)
• Smoking
• Too much sun exposure
• Soaps & other items that change the pH of
skins outer layer
• = Oxidation – free radicals: cause DNA
damage, breakdown of collagen &
decreased collagen formation
GI & your skin
• Absorption = nutrition
• Accumulation of wastes in GI = decreased
nutrition absorption for all organs
• You are what you eat!!
Food for skin health
• fruit : raw, fresh juices, smoothies, poached fruit
• veggies: raw, fresh juices, soups (no oil/fat),
grilled (without oil), steamed, boiled, frozen
• beans & legumes: soaked overnight, simmered
on stove, slow cooker, sprouted
• seeds: flax is best, raw & ground just before
using, soaked overnight an add to drink
• wild whole grains: stove cooked or steamer
Power of fruits & veggies
•
•
•
•
Serve as antioxidants
Enhance immune response
Enhance cell-to-cell communication
Convert to vitamin A (beta-carotene is
metabolized to vitamin A)
• Cause cancer cells to die (apoptosis)
• Repair DNA damage caused by smoking and
other toxic exposures
• Detoxify carcinogens through the activation of
the cytocrome P450 and phase II enzyme
systems
Nutrition & Wellness?
• Modern medicine tells
us to accept ailments
as inevitable symptoms
that afflict an aging
population, yet fail to
tell us that these are
the result of our diet.
Whole food
• "Foods are so complex, offering not only
vitamins and minerals, but fiber, nutrients
(carbohydrates, proteins, and fats),
phytochemicals, and a whole host of
nutritious substances that science has not
fully identified that work together with other
foods and provide the benefits of a healthy
eating pattern."

Research
• University of South Carolina
• Jin et al. Molecular Nutrition
& Food Research 2010.
• Double blind placebo
controlled study
• 117 people
• 60 day study
• 3 groups:
• placebo
• Fruits/veggies
• Fruits/veggies/vineyard
Results:
• JP significantly increased anti-oxidant
levels in the blood (Vit C, Vit E & betacarotene)
• JP increased levels of super oxide
dismutase (anti-oxidant)
• JP significantly decreased markers of
inflammation in the blood
FASEB Journal – Abstract
• Federation of American
Societies for Experimental
Biology
• Double blind placebo
controlled
• 52 females (age 40-65)
• One group fruits/veggie
capsules
• Other group placebo
• Measured at 6 & 12 weeks
Results:
• Significant improvement in skin
microcirculation by 36%
• Significant improvement of the skin
thickness by 6% and skin density by 17%
• Significant increase of skin hydration by
9%
