As a dermatologist, when it comes to their skin, I know that women will invest great sums for topical products, procedures and so forth. If it is the right topical product, with high, efficacious levels of anti-inflammatory antioxidants, they will see beautiful and gratifying results.

It isn’t only plastic surgery that can give us that sculpted look. Adequate protein is vital, because without protein, we lose contours and definition in our faces. This is another reason why a diet rich in salmon is important for Madonna if she wants to maintain that chiseled look of high cheekbones, well defined jaw line, eye contours, etc.

Wild salmon and other cold water fish are great sources of protein which is necessary to maintain and repair the body—including the skin, on a cellular level. The lack of protein is first visible in the face, even in a young person, but especially as we age.

Last month, Madonna, the ageless iconic superstar, announced to the world that she was embarking on a ‘salmon retox’ program to “knock 12 years off of her appearance.”
While it might be ambitious to think we can knock more than a decade off of our looks, think again. If anything can do it, it is the anti-inflammatory diet, nutritional supplements and skin care topicals. This is because inflammation is responsible for many of the internal and external signs of aging.
Madonna’s truly inspiring history of determination and commitment will go a long way in helping her achieve her goals.

This week we’ll look at more about the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle.

Nuts and seeds are the second best source of omega 3 essential fatty acids after cold water fish. Eat them regularly.

Really! It’s a well-known fact many of us use food to stuff down our feelings. So if you’re angry, you’re more likely to snack while cooking. Calm down, then cook.

When you want to look your best, there is a temptation to look for an easy fix with topical creams and, for some people, surgical solutions. To look your best (and feel your best), follow a sensible anti-inflammatory diet. You truly are what you eat.

Tier Three of Dr. Perricone’s Three Tier Philosophy is the application of anti-inflammatory skin care topicals rich in antioxidants. Remember, what you put into your body is of equal importance to your skin than what you put on your skin.

Remember – your skin reflects what’s happening inside on your body. So what you put into your body is vital. Tier One of Dr. Perricone’s Three Tier Philosophy to health and beauty is food. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet and soon you’ll see the results.

Neuropeptides are tiny strings of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) which act as sophisticated intercellular messengers. As we age, these neuropeptides become less and less abundant. Restoring neuropeptides helps to combat the effects of aging.
