Medical Professionals and mothers all over the country have been telling us for centuries that ?we are what we eat?. Roughly translated this saying means that every part of our body (and potentially mind) is affected in some way by the things that we put in our mouth. It has got to stage now where you move for being told what you can and can’t put in your mouth. It sometimes all gets a little much to take in however, so here are 3 of substances that have the biggest impact on our bodies.
Salt. For a long time, people didn’t even know about the harm that salt can do to the body. An agency called the FSA in the UK suggest that 6g of salt is the maximum that anyone should need in a day. More salt might be needed by people who lose a lot through sweating or by diluted body salt levels by drinking lots of water. For 90% of people however, a reduction in salt levels is advisable as it has been closely linked with heart, blood and liver problems. Rather than put it in your body, salt is good at conditioning skin and is in fact an ingredient in lots of Skin care products
Fats. There are types of fat that are vital to the functioning of our body, including maintain organs, skin and vision. They are generally unsaturated fats that we need and not the type that most people get far too much of, which are saturated fats (AKA trans fats). In basic terms, you will not only become overweight if your saturated fat intake is too high, but you’ll be putting yourself at risk of getting blood pressure and heart problems, joint problems and many more. It won?t matter how many times you have a body polish, your appearance and health will not be great if you don?t watch your fats
Water. Your don’t actually eat water of course but that doesn’t make it any less important to your health and appearance. Although many experts suggest you drink 2lts a day, it really depends on myriad factors such as age, location, activeness etc.Water is not only very important for internal processes of the body, but additionally it has a large influence on external appearances, so if your a big water drinker you wont need to have exfoliating scrub quite so often
