Kloros Detox Clinic

Your skin is the largest organ in the body and weighs around 5kg ( 11lb ). This is our greatest protection against germs, sun damage and other environmental pollutants but more importantly, it reflects our internal health on many levels so if your skin is not good, prematurely aging or always spotty, then you really need to do something about your digestive health as this will dictate how good your skin looks.

If you lack vitamin C, then you lose the ability to synthesize collagen. Releasing constant stress hormones, not only uses up vast amounts of vitamin C by the adrenal glands, but also, break down collagen, hence wrinkles. Vitamin A is also needed for healthy skin but will not reach the skin if your good fat intake is low. Zinc is needed for repair and to prevent stretchmarks.

An overloaded liver will start using the skin as a means of detoxification and this shows as dull, greasy or spotty skin. The large intestine is usually quite blocked too and will show the same symptoms so cleansing the colon is a quick means to clearing the skin effectively and taking pressure off the liver.

If you don’t want to look like a prune, which is just a plum without water, then drink plenty of water. Skin cells are plumped up and nourished by water intake and any caffeinated drinks or alcohol will deplete this, as will junk or processed foods, especially salty and sugary items.

Good nourishing food means well nourished skin and a clean, well functioning digestive system will ensure a healthy glow and a youthful look so if you want flawless, wrinkle-free skin then give your body the means to achieve this, because remember, it just reflects whatever is going on inside.
