A concerted effort (external, internal, and emotional) is the best route to minimize inflammation and prevent tissue damage. Fruit: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, cherries, and pomegranates contain high levels of polyphenols and offer positive and preventive effects on cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, and inflammation. Most berries are moderately acidic, but contain strong anti-inflammatory properties that come from flavonoids. Broccoli: Broccoli is full of isothiocyanates—sulfur- containing phytochemicals—and is highly alkaline. Known for their anti-carcinogenic properties, isothiocyanates (which contain sulforaphane) fight inflammation, stop cancer from spreading, and induce cancer cell death as they work inside the cell to boost enzymatic activity that prevents oxidation. Sulfur is found in every living cell and it plays a key role in collagen synthesis. Science has offered many new discoveries to tackle inflammation and skin puffiness. The body truly is a wonderful machine, and looking at every part of it at the cellular level will no doubt offer us more clues on how fantastically it functions. Skin care professionals must understand that everything in the body is connected and know how the immune system operates in relation to cell health. Puffiness is no match for internal, external, and emotional solutions. Try these strategies and you'll see. Without having to stretch or suck it in, puffiness will be gone. The mirror won't lie.
