In 2005, a research team led by Professor Neil Mann from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology did a study with Australian teens living in Melbourne to see if a less-processed, healthier diet would clear up their skin. For 12 weeks the teens in the study cut out virtually all processed and bad foods and switched to a healthy diet of fish, lean meat, whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables. Their acne improved dramatically and the study showed that simply cutting out sugar and junk/processed foods for 3 months was a far more effective weapon against acne than a cabinet full of anti-pimple products.
Gorgeous Skin for Teens outlines an effective skin care strategy based entirely on diet and lifestyle factors. It includes a breakthrough diet plan specifically designed for teens, with recipes, tips inspiration, and all the right information teens need to make smart food choices and to get gorgeous skin. The book includes delicious recipes, easy menu ideas for meals, snacks, school lunches and addressing key body and self-esteem issues.
With childhood obesity a huge issue across Australia, it is interesting to not that obese children are also more prone to acne/skin disorders than are non-obese children. Likewise it is estimated that nine in tens suffer from acne and staggeringly, they are prescribed an anti-biotic ahead of revising their diet and nutrition. Gorgeous Skin for Teens offers teenagers and their parents the knowledge to create the foundations for healthy eating and lifestyle habits helping them achieve not only clear, radiant skin but also give them more energy, mental clarity and improved moods. Once these foundations are in place, teens are less likely to experiment with dangerous fad diets, drugs and alcohol.
