   This is a rather nice 300-page volume with brilliant recipes, color photos, and useful side notes. Whether you are into natural beauty, this is a gold mine. It contains tips on how to not only treat your skin from the exterior with topical applications but what to eat so that what goes on the interior works to improve your outer looks. My only regret is that this book didn’t come in hardcover, because I surely intend to be making lots of use of it.

   This is a gorgeous book, with heavy glossy pages. Some of it was more reminder, some truly surprised me — I’d never have known watermelon was excellent for my skin, or that drinking tea was. Of course it makes sense, what hydrates too nourishes, but the tips and reminders couldn’t come in a nicer package.
   
   I am having a lot of fun reading this

   Even though I am a guy, I still take an interest in skin health because a) my wife is concerned approximately it, and b) the skin is an vital portion of the body, and any holistic approach to health is going to involve taking care of the skin.

   Tannis starts this book with a rationale for why what we eat relates to skin health, followed by some scientific information approximately the skin, which is mostly review for those of us who recollect tall school biology. In section two, she clarifies the causes of skin hurt, including the sun and releaseradical hurt. In section three, she clarifies a study that found that consuming vegetables, olive oil, fish, and beans resulted in healthier skin, whereas eating sugar, margarine, and milk products tended to make skin see older. This section too lists “wrinkle-fighting foods,” with an explanation of why a particular food is excellent for the skin. Section four, approximately foods that moisturize, is laid out in a similar fashion, as is section five, “Foods that Tighten, Smooth, and Battle Sag.” Chapters six through eight address complexion, inflammation, puffiness, acne, and psoriasis, and which foods hypothetically are excellent for these concerns. The final section contains recipes containing the foods discussed in the earlier chapters.

   I found this book fascinating, and learned a thing or two approximately the nutritional content of various foods. I learned some modern things approximately what makes skin healthy, and why skin ages the way it does (and why it ages quicker in some people). This will be helpful when researching skin health in the future. The book is certainly colorful and engaging, and, maximum importantly, contains a lot of information based on scientific studies. The recipes see excellent, but I am horrible at trying recipes from health books, so I haven’t tried them.

   My main problem with the book is that a lot of it seems like filler. I have studied nutrition informally since 1993, and I peruse news and scientific studies related to health and fitness every day. Unfortunately, a lot of what is in this book is very basic information approximately various foods, whether or not the information directly relates to skin health. For example, in the section approximately carrots, Tannis provides a brief history of the vegetable, clarifies the relationship between Vitamin A and eyesight, and tells us that too much beta-carotene can turn the skin orange. She then speaks of the dangers of Vitamin A overdose, which is not really an issue with carrots, because they contain pro-vitamin A (Beta-Carotene), and since the body only converts what it needs to Vitamin A, it really isn’t toxic, but nonetheless, this fact gets mentioned. Fascinating? Yes, but maximum of this does not relate directly to the skin, and can be found elsewhere. Another concern I have is that while a lot of the information is based on direct scientific studies, much is simply hypothetical. For example, fair because a food is tall in antioxidants and/or Omega-3 stout does not necessarily mean it is excellent for the skin. Finally, with hundreds of thousands of recipes available online, I am fair not that interested in buying a book that is nearly one-third recipes.

   Overall, this book is very informative and simple-to-peruse, particularly for those with very small knowledge of food and nutrition, but for those who are already knowledgeable in these subjects, a lot of the material is redundant and not directly related to skin health.

   According to the Author Allison Tannis, M.S., R.H.N., of Feed Your Skin Starve Your Wrinkles, there are 100 Best Anti-aging Foods that will prevent wrinkles, moisturize, tone, battle the sags and acne.

   That’s a lot of foods for the benefit of your skin, so chances with what you are eating to prevent wrinkles, your face still looks saggy and wrinkly.

   Although there is wonderful information here, including a list of anti-aging foods, I don’t see any backup claims/research to prove all these foods work in that way. I believe the list is sooo wide that nearly anything in the line of fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc., will work!!

   The book with its gorgeous glossy pages with plenty of white space for simple reading, features appealing full-page photographs, a reading list, glossary and extensive index. You will learn plenty of health information that ties into caring for the skin.

   Included are 50 Skin-toning recipes with nutritional and nutrients information and helpful notes. The recipes appear simple to fix, without requiring ingredients that one may not have around the kitchen. Rizzo

   The book is much much more than a anti-aging book. It is more like a super healthy you book! It features enormous and gorgeous full color photos of the tasty foods that heal. Providing information approximately the what benefits each particular food provides. An brilliant addition to the book would have been recipes for external skin care rather than fair for the benefits of ingesting certain foods. Whether you like a particular food & are curious approximately it’s health traits, you can easily see it up & find a excellent quantity of information. Now recollect, you aren’t going to find info. approximately your favorite ice cream or sweet bar! You will but find helpful info. approximately berries, fruits, veggies, nuts, dairy, meats, the sun etc. The main focus is what a particular food item does that is favourable. The nutrients it contains, fiber, water, antioxidants. Whatever makes the particular food so excellent is the main focus of the food. Whether it has small amounts of Vitamin C, that probably isn’t going to be mentioned. Loaded with Vit. E and or fiber? That will be mentioned.
   
   It too features a decent sized recipe section at the back of the book so you can incorporate your modern found knowledge into tasty meals, snacks, & smoothies! Yum!
   
   I see forward to it’s ease of use next time I am questioned approximately a particular food item & I’m unsure of the answer, I can quickly find the information I need and pass it on. No more time consuming flipping through book after book.
