Glyconutritionals provide cellular communication needed in body.

Only two of eight monosaccharides (glyconutrients) are found in today’s diet. Our diets have changed in response to demands for quicker, cheaper food. Consequently, we are not eating foods that contain necessary fuels for our cells to communicate in a healthy, effective manner. While our body has capacity to manufacture these simple sugars, conversion process is complicated. During conversion process your cells are exposed to tens of thousands of free radical hits each day. This requires time, energy and a host of other micronutrients in order to complete conversion. Viruses can also interfere with our body’s ability to make these conversions. People who are ill or who have inborn errors of metabolism are especially vulnerable to a breakdown in process. Whenever monosaccharides cannot be made, communication is slowed down or impaired as a result.

Since your body has more than a trillion cells and fully regenerates all of its cells in approximately 1 year, any miscommunication or slowdown could cause major health problems. With millions of cells regenerating each day, it's easy to imagine what could happen if during this process, cells didn't regenerate correctly. This is why glyconutritional supplements are essential to our diet!

Now that you hopefully understand glyconutrients a little bit better I also wanted to share with you a "plain English" definition of phytochemicals (or phytonutrients) and what they mean to you as well. www.4glyconutrients.com/phytonutrients.html

Home use peels: Several over-the-counter peels contain papaya enzymes or glycolic acid. These peels lightly exfoliate skin and are safe for weekly use.

Reduce spread of bacterial infection: Using an astringent such as witch hazel or apple cider vinegar to disinfect skin significantly reduces presence of bacteria on face. This reduction limits skin inflammation and likelihood of a pimple developing.

Enhance Fat Metabolism: Free fatty acids can irritate skin and provoke acne eruptions. Reducing intake of foods containing hydrolyzed fats will improve fat metabolism. However, do consume essential fatty acids such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 which are found in foods such as salmon and olive oil. These essential fats aid gastrointestinal tract eliminate pro-inflammatory substances, which reduces possibility of experiencing acne lesions.

Reduce inflammation: A strong immune system serves as a buffer against inflammation. Stress reducing activities such as exercising, eating a well-balanced diet and sleeping well boosts immune system. A diet supplemented with B-Complex, zinc and vitamins C and E likewise enhances effectiveness of immune system.

Like Accutane, these five steps will not work overnight. Accutane works via creating a bodily environment that is not conducive to acne. By adhering to nutritional and aesthetic steps above, anyone can attain clear skin while simultaneously augmenting their health.
