And, whenever possible, cut back on refined sugar. Sugar is found in cakes, cookies, doughnuts and be watchful for bad “fats” found in processed foods. In addition, be careful of the amount and selection of carbohydrates. Good carbohydrates can be found in whole grain bread, sweet potatoes and brown rice. Beans and cereals are two other good carbohydrate choices. Bad carbohydrates are found in doughnuts, cakes, cookies, pies, etc.

Drink plenty of water; the usual amount for most is six to eight glasses. And, remember that water keeps the body well regulated, especially the body’s main organs and skin and that extra moisture will work wonders creating a younger and healthier looking bodyinside and out!
