Time to get your glow on
You’ve seen them. Those beautiful people with glowing skin. And have you asked yourself, “How can I get skin like that?” Yeah, me too.
So I decided to do something about it and do a little investigating. And what I found out is as easy to accomplish as detoxing on a tropical island. Ok, maybe not quite that easy.
It’s sulfur-residue foods that will give your skin that amazing glow!
Why, you might, ask am I talking about eating sulfur for glowing skin?
Great question! Sulfur isn’t just the mush of yolk found in the deviled eggs at your annual office holiday party that you do everything in your power to avoid. (Like booking that tropical vacation.)
Sulfur is actually the secret beauty mineral for glowing skin! Why else would people flock to mineral hot springs to soak in water that smells like rotten eggs? Sulfur helps you body to digest fats, controls the metabolism of carbohydrates, and rids the body of waste that clogs skin pores causing a lackluster complexion.
Now, what might be the fastest way to glowing skin?
Unless you can make it to your local mineral hot springs or spa weekly, your surest way to get glowing skin is to get in the habit of including foods that are rich in sulfur in your daily diet. You may be surprised to hear that sulfur-rich foods are often the ones you avoid because they could give you gas and can smell like rotten eggs when you cook them. But let me challenge you to embrace these amazingly nutritious cruciferous veggies, like cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, kohlrabi, and Brussels sprouts!
You might be wondering if you should be eating more sulfur-residue foods?
Glad you asked! It’s time for you to include sulfur-residue foods in your diet if you have any of these issues:
—Your skin is prone to acne.
—You have brittle hair and nails.
—You have a pale, pasty complexion.
And even if you don’t have any of these symptoms, sulfur is still your go-to for glowing skin. So go ahead, get your glow on! Here is a healthy and delicious recipe to help you include sulfur in your diet to get your glow on!
