Did you know that the foods you eat don't just affect the way youfeel? They also affect the way you LOOK. So if you're unhappy with your skin, your DIET (not just your age and lifestyle) could be to blame.

Some foods are great for you—inside and out… Click for recipes…

So if you want healthy, radiant skin, eating more of them is one of the smartest things you can do!

But most people don't know that. They end up spending stacks of cash on beauty "products" and spreading artificial chemicals on themselves hoping to look better.

YOU deserve better than that.

What are the best foods you can eat for healthier skin?

Keep reading to find out...

1. Green Tea

Drinking a few cups of green tea a day isn’t just relaxing -- it’s one of the most important things you can do to look younger!

Tea leaves are full of antioxidants that protect your cells, fight inflammation, and keep out harmful toxins.

Green tea also has compounds called “catechins” that increase the blood flow and oxygen to your skin. This makes it easier to get nutrients, which keeps your skin look amazing.

A 2011 study published in the journal Nutrition found that people who drank green tea every day for 12 weeks had smoother skin than people who didn’t. The green tea-drinkers even had less sun damage after they were exposed to UV light!

University of Alabama and Case Western Reserve University researchers also came to the conclusion that green tea might even reduce your risk of skin cancer.

2. Fish

One of the best ways to keep your skin healthy: avoid inflammation in your body. Reducing inflammation helps all kinds of skin issues, whether you’re battling a specific condition or just looking for a healthier glow.

Eating more fish helps you do just that! Click for recipes…

Fish are full of omega-3 fatty acids. Most of us aren’t getting nearly enough of these. But they’re KEY to fighting inflammation.

Studies have found that adding omega-3s to your diet reduces puffiness and improves skin health. Bottom line: eat more fish, and get smoother, younger-looking skin.

You can find the most omega-3 fatty acids in cold-water fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel, tuna, and cod. Focus on those to get the most bang for your buck.

3. Berries

Don’t be fooled by their small size.Berries pack a serious skin-clearing punch!

They’re loaded with “antioxidants,” chemicals that flush toxins out of your body. A lot of foods have some antioxidants, but few have more than berries…

A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries have the highest “total antioxidant capacity” of any food.

These antioxidants improve your skin by protecting it from aging, sun damage, and stress. Click for recipes…

So eating berries means fewer wrinkles, dry skin, and creases in your forehead…

Nutritionist Samantha Heller says, “when you help protect the cells from damage and disintegration, you also guard against premature aging. In this respect, these fruits may very well help keep your skin looking younger longer.”

4. Nuts

Walnuts are great for your skin. According to Dr. David Bank, the omega-3 fatty acids inside them make your skin more elastic. Walnuts are the only type of nut that have a significant amount of omega-3s.

Walnuts are also high in “biotin,” a B vitamin that helps moisturize dry skin and overcome conditions like eczema.

Eating Brazil nuts is another great way to keep your skin looking its best…

Brazil nuts are loaded with selenium, a mineral that boosts your immune system and can reverse skin conditions like acne!

It takes just two Brazil nuts a day to get enough selenium. Toss those in with a handful of walnuts, and your skin will look better in no time. Click for recipes…

3. Olive Oil

Olive oil gets rid of toxins from your body and fights inflammation (which can lead to all kinds of health problems).

That makes it good for your heart and brain… and also great for your skin.

When you eat olive oil, you take in a good dose of antioxidants and healthy fats, which leave your skin looking healthier and younger.

Olive oil gets rid of toxins from your body and fights inflammation (which can lead to all kinds of health problems).

Getting enough “good fats” is a key part of keeping your skin healthy. A Japanese study found that people who ate more saturated and monounsaturated fats had fewer wrinkles and more elastic skin than people who ate less.

A 2012 study in the Public Library of Science found that the more olive oil you eat, the fewer signs of aging skin.Olive oil beat every other type of oil the researchers tested! Click for recipes…

The Top 5 Paleo Mistakes You MUST Avoid

Did you know that “going paleo”—eating the way your ancestors used to eat—is one of the best things you can do for your health? You can spend YEARS trying new fad diets and counting calories like most people, then end up feeling OLDER and SICKER than before OR you can stop chasing trends and start building a real foundation of health… one based on THOUSANDS of years of proven success.

The paleo principles are simple, but I have to warn you: they go against most of the “conventional” nutrition advice that’s been going around (and making people sick) for decades. Having an OPEN mind is the first step to feeling better.

Did you know that most people who struggle with paleo make the SAME common mistakes? That’s great news for YOU though. Once you know what those mistakes are, it’s much easier to avoid them and rejuvenate your life.

So let’s dive in. Here are the top 5 paleo mistakes to avoid… Click for recipes…

1. Quitting Too Soon

Going paleo pays off for years and decades to come…

But RADICALLY changing your lifestyle can make for a tough few weeks.

You CRASH. You end up feeling more tired than you did before.

There’s psychological pressure from creating new habits. And it can be hard physically; sugars and grains are addictive, so you might not feel your best the first few weeks after you ditch them.

There are also social challenges. You might get funny looks from friends and coworkers. Your family could push back against the “new you.”

You won’t figure everything out in the first few weeks, and that’s FINE. Take action, make changes along the way, and reap the rewards for the rest of your life.

Whatever you do, don’t give up after just a few weeks! Click for recipes…

2. Failing to Plan

Going from a typical Western diet to paleo is an INVESTMENT in your health. It’ll help you get the most out of life…f

But it takes some work up front.

There are challenges—especially in the first few weeks. You have to avoid foods you used to eat. Maybe you’re stepping into the kitchen to make your own meals for the first time. Click for recipes…

How will you handle dinner if you have to stay late at the office?

What happens if you’re running errands and get hungry for a snack?

These are the types of questions to think about. Coming up with a basic plan of how you’ll start your new lifestyle makes it MUCH easier to succeed. You can always tweak things along the way.

3. Treating Paleo Like a "Detox" Diet

Grains. Sugars. Dairy. Legumes. Paleo’s “things to avoid” list can seem overwhelming.

A lot of paleo rookies focus too much on what to get rid of and not enough on what they should eat instead. They see paleo as a “detox” instead of a healthy new lifestyle.

Worrying ONLY about which foods to cut out is a recipe for disaster. You don’t get enough calories because you aren’t thinking about all the extra protein and fats you need…

So you end up hungry, tired, and annoyed. That’s no place to be when you’re trying to change the way you eat and live.

WPaleo isn’t a detox. It’s about making the right food choices, not just AVOIDING a lot of stuff. Click for recipes…

4. Obsessing Over Perfection

Another common paleo mistake: people think it’s an “all or nothing” deal.

They beat themselves up for swiping a few French fries from their spouse’s plate. Or they decide paleo “isn’t for them” after giving into a sugar craving or two.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

Progress—not perfection—is the goal.

Every good decision helps. Eating well all day, then eating ice cream after dinner, is MUCH better than eating terribly all day and then having the ice cream.

It’s healthier to view being “perfectly paleo” as an ideal instead of a requirement.

Try to make the best choices you can… but don’t quit if you get off track. Just pick up where you left off and keep moving forward. That’s the path to long-term success.

5. Feeling Scared of Carbs

Carbs AREN’T evil, despite what a lot of people say.

Low-carb diets can work great, but some paleo newbies take the low-carb thing too far. They obsess over avoiding all carbs—even if they come from starchy vegetables or fruits.

This can leave you hungry all the time if you don’t replace those carbs with plenty of protein and healthy fats…

It’s even harder on people who work out a lot. They would have an easier time with paleo if they added healthy carbs to make up for the huge demands they put on their bodies. Click for recipes…

How many carbs people need VARIES. So if you feel terrible eating low-carb paleo, try adding some carbs into the mix. They might be just what you need to get your new lifestyle on track.

“So, What Do I Do Next?”

Now that you know the common paleo mistakes, you’re in a good position to avoid them and revitalize your life.

So why not tip the odds in your favor?

Instead of stumbling over new ground all alone, you can turn to a BLUEPRINT designed to help you succeed. Click for recipes…

The PaleoHacks Cookbook is that blueprint.

Every recipe inside (there are around 200 in the cookbook and free bonus recipes) is delicious, easy to make, and 100% paleo-friendly.

You don’t have to worry about making mistakes in the kitchen that trip people up. All you have to do is follow the step-by-step instructions.

4 Paleo Foods You Must Avoid If You Have Digestive Issues

Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans struggle with “gut disorders”? That means constipation, CRIPPLING stomach pain, and diarrhea…

Many of these digestive problems go even deeper— causing psychological issues like anxiety or even DEPRESSION. Click for recipes…

Going paleo is a GREAT step to heal a broken gut. Even though it can take time for an unhealthy gut to “adjust” to your new lifestyle, that won’t ever happen if you keep eating foods that are causing problems.

Did you know that there are even some “healthy” foods that can make your stomach absolutely miserable? Cutting them out of your diet for at least a month, and then adding them back in slowly, is the recipe for digestive health.

So let’s dive in. Here are 4 paleo foods to AVOID if you have digestive issues:

1. FODMAPs

“FODMAPs” is a fancy acronym for “Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols.”

That’s quite a mouthful... but the name isn’t important. What matters is how they can wreck your digestive health.

FODMAPs are a type of carbohydrate (carb) that your small intestine has trouble digesting properly.

You can find FODMAPs in a lot of foods that would be healthy for you… if you didn’t have digestive problems. Click for recipes…

The solution? Stay away from these foods for at least a month:

• Fruits: apples, avocados, cherries, mangos, peaches, pears, and watermelons
• Vegetables: asparagus, artichokes, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, eggplant, garlic, onion

After your gut heals, you can slowly add FODMAPs back into your diet and see how your digestion goes.

2. Coffee and Caffeine

Coffee’s great for a quick jolt of energy…

But it can cause CHAOS in your digestive system.

We’re talking stomach cramps, diarrhea, and constipation. Even if it doesn’t have those effects on you, it can make other digestive problems worse.

Coffee is also loaded with caffeine, which can cause digestive issue like irritable bowel disease or a leaky gut.

Did you know that a ton of people with digestive issues like IBD or leaky gut ALSO have problems with their adrenal glands? Yep. Caffeine messes with those too.

Save yourself the pain and give your body time to heal. Take a “caffeine break” for 30 days and see how you feel. Click for recipes…

3. Raw Fruits and Vegetables

I know what you’re probably thinking:

“Aren’t raw fruits and vegetables some of the healthiest things I can eat?”

For most people the answer is an enthusiastic “yes”…

But it’s a bit more complicated if you have digestive issues.

The issue with raw fruits and vegetables: their high fiber content.

When you eat fruits and vegetables RAW, they’re packed with fiber—especially when you eat them with the skin. This makes it extremely hard for your body to break them down properly. Click for recipes…

I’m NOT saying you should avoid fruits and vegetables completely…

But peeling and cooking them first makes them MUCH easier for your body to handle.

4. Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds are some of the most popular paleo snacks around…

But they’re also some of the HARDEST to digest.

They’re full of “phytic acid,” which can cause a digestion nightmare if your gut hasn’t healed yet.

Why?

Because phytic acid binds to important minerals like iron and zinc, keeping your body from absorbing them. Phytic acid also binds to the enzymes you need to digest food.

If you’re dealing with digestion problems, eating nuts and seeds is like throwing GASOLINE onto the fire. They can make an already unhealthy gut even worse. Cut them out of your diet and give your body time to heal. Click for recipes…

“So, What Do I Do Next?”

Your digestive system is unique. Some foods that you handle fine bother other people. And they may eat things that throw your stomach into knots.

The key: stay away from the foods above and give your gut time to adjust to a paleo lifestyle…

Ready to stop worrying about this stuff and HEAL your damaged gut for good?

The PaleoHacks Cookbook can help. It’s designed to make your lifestyle change as painless and fulfilling as possible.

With nearly 200 recipes to choose from, it’s simple to find plenty of healthy, delicious meals that don’t ruin your digestion.

After you give your gut time to heal, you can branch out and try some of the other mouth-watering dishes. It doesn’t matter if you’re busy or new to the kitchen. The cookbook breaks down how to prepare every dish step-by-step.

All you have to do is follow along… and enjoy delicious food how it was meant to be enjoyed: without stomach cramps!
