Alpha Lipoic Acid....Need I say more??


So, I posted a few weeks back about Dr. Nicholas Perricone's book "The Acne Prescription." (Which is a book on Dr. Perricones prescription to clearer, healthier skin.)  I truly believe everyone should read it because if you have just one or two break outs a month or more that is considered some sort of Acne. Dr. Perricone talks about a multitude of vitamins and antioxidants that are great for the skin and body. One of which is Alpha Lipoic Acid. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a vitamin like antioxidant that contains antioxidant properties that help fight free radicals in the body (which reverse signs of aging!). It also helps to revitalize the underlying structure of the skin. Your skin will actually appear healthier and more radiant!! Get this, by upping your Alpha Lipoic Acid intake you can also have a decrease in body fat and have more energy!! I started taking 100mg a day of supplements and I have to say that I have more energy and it's only been three days!

If you are skeptical about taking supplements Alpha Lipoic Acid is available in foods we eat, such as:

-Dark green leafy vegetables, including spinach, collard greens and broccoli
-Beef/Steak

So....start eating healthier, looking positively radiant and having tons of energy!!
