The Nutritional Facelift
Dr. Perricone discusses invisible inflammation which causes us to age. Pro-inflammatory foods such as sugars and starches, which cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, result in a burst of inflammation. The inflammation triggers wrinkled skin, heart disease and weight gain. We can, however, control the inflammation by what we eat.
Adequate protein, antioxidants and fats help reduce inflammation and change the way we feel and look. Dr. Perricone has developed a Three-Day Nutritional Face-lift™ that aids in the elimination of puffiness, increases contours, firms jaw line, etc.
For ideal results, you must eat salmon twice a day. This will increase radiance, glow and firmness to the skin. Wild Alaskan Salmon is highly recommended and some of the best quality salmon can be conveniently ordered online at Vital Choice Seafood. You can find a great selection of organic berries at Vital Choice Seafood that are also part of the Three-Day plan, outlined below.
