The Perricone Diet: the Diet That Will Make You Look Younger

 

Instead of finding yourself standing on the bathroom scale, you might be standing in front of the mirror and constantly checking on your looks and not on your weight.

The Perricone Diet is created by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, a dermatologist, an author of six books and a professor who states that combining the lotions he formulated and the diet meal plan he prepared, one cannot only lose weight but also achieve a youthful look.

The Perricone Diet promises to deliver the following results:

• reduced weight
• a restored and stronger immune system
• a smoother skin
• an improved metabolism
• better bone density
• a better functioning heart
• a body more protected from diseases and even from cancer
• a generally happy feeling and positive disposition in life (it has emotional benefits as well)

Dr. Perricone said that eating certain foods could cause what he calls as “inflammation” or “swelling” and such condition could trigger two disastrous results:

• advance aging (as evidenced by the appearances of fine lines, sagging skin and wrinkles)
• gradual deterioration of health that would make the body prone to various illnesses

The meals plans and the lotions available under the Perricone Diet would render one not only the possibility of losing those unwanted pounds but the chance to slow down the aging process of the body; thus, making one look more youthful and more vibrant. All these two can be achieved through this diet in as little as three days only.

Now, the list of good foods under the Perricone Diet includes:

• specific fruits (apples, avocados, berries, cherries, pears)

• leafy-green vegetables and others (broccoli, bean sprouts and mushrooms)

  specific fish (trout and tuna)

• foods rich in omegea-3 fatty acid

• yogurt

• for drinks, Green tea and spring water (eight to 10 glasses recommended daily)

While those foods that would cause “inflammation” and eventual adverse effects to the body and should be avoided includes:

• specific fruits (oranges, grapes, watermelon, mangoes)
• specific vegetables (pumpkin, peas, carrots)
• noodles and pasta
• flour-based foods (pizza and bread)
• caffeinated drinks (coffee and sodas)
• rice

So, for those who don’t only wish to reduce weight and be healthy but also want to look and feel younger, here‘s the diet for you. If you can undergo the Perricone Diet and face the challenge imposed in the food listings here may find more helpful facts at Diet Fads.

Is this a toxic dosage of Vitamin A?

So I've designed a supplement program for clear skin that mimics and improves on the Perricone MD Skin Clear program, and one of the supplements Im taking, which is Source Naturals Skin Eternal Plus, has 12,500 IU of vitamin E where 5,000 IU is palmitate and 7,500 IU is beta-carotene. Im scared that this is a bad amount but I really dont want to stop taking this supplement. Is this a toxic amount?

I've made sure the proportions of all the other supplements were safe. Vitamin A is all Im unsure about.

If it helps heres:

My Supplement Program
It includes Carlson Super Omega-3 Fish Oils, Source Naturals Evening Primrose Oil, Twinlab Stress B-Complex Caps, Source Naturals Skin Eternal Plus(contains DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Vitamin E), as well as Nature's Way Calcium-Magnesium-Vitamin D capsules.
oops...i said vitamin e. its a. you understood anyways.

Your intake of vitamin A is well below the toxic dose that is regarded as being 25,000 IU of vitamin A per day.

Taking more than 10,000 IU per day could be regarded as overdoing it.

A pregnant woman could end up with a baby with birth defects if she takes more than about 8,000 IU of vitamin A per day so to be on the safe side it would be better if she took well below 5,000 IU per day. Taking below 2,500 IU per day would be even better.
