Food to Improve Your Skin

 Dr. Perricone says if you eat 3 to 4 hard boiled egg whites for breakfast for 3 days (and following the diet for snacks and other meals) you will notice a face lift and beautiful, healthy skin.

By eating 1/3 cup of fresh raw almonds two to three times a day inbetween meals for snack will improve your skin (and by following the other meals in the diet for 3 days).

1 cup of fresh green leafy spinach for lunch and dinner (with no dressing) will improve your skin drastically in 3 days (if you following Dr. Perricone's full 3 day face lift diet).

Dr. Perricone says that everyone should eat fresh raspberries and blueberries multiple times everyday!  He recommends 1/3 cup of fresh berries on top of fresh cup of spinach salad.

Dr. Perricone is a big fan of fresh Alaskan salmon for our bodies and our skin.  He recommends eating 4 ounces of Alaskan salmon twice a day with fresh berries and fresh spinach salad (if you are going to smoke, broil or grill salmon, Dr. Perricone recommends using fresh lemon juice and fresh herbs instead of sauces, rubs or packaged spices).

Dr. Perricone also recommends drinking distilled water.  It is the purest water we can take in for our bodies and our skin.  For this 3 day face lift diet, he recommends drinking only distilled water (1 cup of black coffee or tea is allowed).
