Eating for Lasting Energy and True Beauty

May 13, 2015 By Milen Gala

Now that we have talked about what the perfect foods are to eat, for weight loss and beauty, let’s talk a little about why these are the perfect foods to eat to create true energy and lasting beauty.

To start with, your body does its part naturally by working towards maintaining the perfect balance internally. Your cells and systems continuously cleanse themselves throughout the day and especially as you sleep at night. But how does your body work to maintain this perfect balance? By digesting the things you eat, and turning that into energy.

My Journey To Health and Beauty

May 7, 2015 By Milen Gala

Now that you have the perfect recipe for cleansing, whether it’s for a week or ongoing, I’m going to give you a little background on how I came to realize that this was the perfect way to cleanse and detox the body, infuse nutrients, and literally change your cells, one by one, from the inside out… leaving you with tremendous energy and truly radiant beauty. But a little warning before we begin: this is a personal story.

I was about 6 months postpartum, and after running 4 times a week, breastfeeding, semi-dieting every day, and doing yoga on my days off from running, I had finally gotten myself back down to my pre-pregnancy weight and size. But I was tired (even though my baby had been sleeping through the night for a while now), I wasn’t eating the best (even though it was low-fat) and generally just didn’t feel so great, so I knew something wasn’t right. …

We are all taught that acne is something that happens to teenagers, but the truth is that many adults struggle with acne as well. For years I used face washes, lotions, and creams to try and combat these little bad boys that would pop up on my face, back and shoulders.

I realized that as I slowly changed my diet and ate smarter my skin magically began to clear up. And as long as I stayed on this smart, clean diet the acne would never return. I tried experimenting to see what exactly it was that I eliminated from (and added to) my diet that resulted in my newly found clear, glowing skin….
