Can Your Diet Clear Up Your Skin?
by Gwen Lewis
Drink Lots of Water and Fluids
One of the biggest keys to clear skin is staying hydrated. Drinking lots of water helps flush toxins from your system and hydrates your organs. If drinking your regimented “8 glasses" a day doesn't come naturally, try this: start your day with hot water and lemon. Have your morning tea or coffee with breakfast, then proceed to drink a glass of water every few hours and with lunch and dinner. If you need some variety, consider sparking water or green tea for its antioxidant properties.

I mostly agree. Greek yogurt is excellent for your skin and limit fruit due to the high sugar content. Get most of you antioxidants via veggies.

Gwen, what exactly are your nutrition credentials? I see you're a makeup artist. Do you have any real training and education in nutrition?
Advocating "getting rid of butter" is absurd. Saturated fat is healthy and good for the body. So is grass fed red meat (no need to limit it to once a week...where do you get this stuff?!).
Learn the facts about what really constitutes a "healthy" diet before spouting off old myths that have no scientific backing whatsoever (for your education, I suggest you google "Ansel Keys").
The myth that saturated fat (like butter and red meat) is "bad" has no factual scientific basis whatsoever.

You're saying to drink 8 glasses of water per day or 1/ hour and the very next article is warning of the life-threatening danger of doing just that! Please explain.
