In this video, Marcie Vaske, a functional medicine nutritionist at Oswald Digestive Clinic, addresses the common issues many people face regarding digestive health. She highlights challenges like constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and gas, and encourages viewers to take charge of their health by visiting their clinic’s website for initial appointments. For those who prefer a DIY approach, a free guide titled "Five Ways to Improve Your Gut Health" is also available.
Shifting gears, Marcie delves into a topic that’s increasingly relevant as we age—maintaining healthy, glowing skin. At 48, she emphasizes the importance of nutrition in combating the signs of aging and shares seven skin-friendly foods.
First up are berries, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. These nutrients help mitigate free radical damage and protect against harmful UV rays. Berries like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are not only delicious but also beneficial for skin health, with blueberries containing an antioxidant called anthocyanin that promotes youthful skin.
Next, she discusses avocados. Packed with healthy fats and vitamin E, avocados help keep the skin moisturized and hydrated. They also provide vitamin A and potassium, which contribute to soft and supple skin. Marcie suggests incorporating avocados into your diet to see better skin health.
Following this, spinach takes the spotlight as a source of both vitamin A and vitamin C, vital for collagen production and skin hydration. Additionally, spinach is rich in magnesium and lutein, which further support skin vitality.
Salmon is highlighted for its omega-3 fatty acids, which help maintain skin suppleness and combat inflammation. A diet that includes salmon can lead to visibly healthier skin by reducing internal inflammation.
Nuts, especially walnuts and almonds, make for easy snacks rich in vitamin E. This nutrient protects the skin from UV damage and aids in moisture retention.
Another beneficial food is sweet potatoes, abundant in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A. This vitamin is crucial for reducing fine lines and wrinkles and promoting skin repair.
Lastly, Marcie recommends green tea, known for its high antioxidant content, particularly catechins. These compounds help improve skin damage from UV exposure and promote skin elasticity.
In summary, Marcie emphasizes that all these skin-nurturing foods can seamlessly fit into a whole foods diet. Simple additions like berries, salmon, nuts, and green tea can significantly enhance skin health. She underscores that while topical creams and lotions have their place, the foundation for radiant skin lies in a nutritious diet and proper hydration. Cheers to healthy eating and maintaining beautiful skin as we age!

THE OTHER DOCTORS HERE IN YOUTUBE SAY SPINACH IS NOT GOOD BECAUSE IT CONTAINS OXALIC ACID BUT SHE SAYS AGAIN IT IS GOOD WHOM TO BELIEVE ??

There're so many foods that isn't only benefiting our gut but for our skin as well, such as avocados、salmons、nuts..etc.
Would you recommand taking supplements such as A、C and E instead of eating whole foods?
