My extraordinary diet – foods that protect me inside and out (ageing! skin! inflammation! hormones!)

Well, I'm up for the challenge, as that is how I eat already :D love being a whole foody vegan :) thank you for sharing <3

Alcohol also shrinks the 🧠 brain it is lately reported. I only drink every drink non alcoholic like non alcoholic wine and beer etc

But 3 months from today includes christmas time!!!
Nooo cannot do that ;((

Girl same! Sugar has the same effects on my skin and hormones balance. I for sure eat sugary foods on occasional events but not on a regular basis. Ps. As a registered dietician I’m proud of the content you’re sharing ❤

Alcohol is also considered a Type-1 carcinogen. I also consume despite knowing this.

any type of seed oils are bad for you

I also do water (2L), antioxidents (berry smoothie or berry oatmeal) and vitamin e (ground flax seeds in smoothie or oatmeal) everyday ! Been vegan for 8 years, avoid processed sugar and alcohol for speacial occaisions only. TWINSIES ! ❤😊

I need to join this challenge.
But I'm not sure if I can make it 100%.

Dairy - I drink oat soya milk, so that's not issue, but sometimes I have cheese and also I love protein jogurt (or it's kinda more like skyr the type i like). But they are expensive anyways...
And sugar...I am really addicted. But I think as long as I can eat fruits and dried fruit like dates and cranberries, I could do it?

I'm sure I can't make it 100%, but I can try my best.
Also it will be hard if it's part of ready-made sauces or in general part of something I would not expect sugar or dairy to be there...

But since I'm on dorm and buy food for myself, I already eat less sugar and dairy, and my skin really got better, so I want to continue and try more :)

❤❤❤

The white sugar effect on skin! I have foods with white sugar and immediately I get a pimple. My skin does not like it one bit at all either.

Oh my, can I relate! If I eat more than a bite or two of sugar, within 24 hours I get a huge cystic pimple somewhere on my face (and I’m 58!) I had to give up gluten this year, as I discovered it’s started giving me utis, although I’m not sure if it’s the gluten per se, or all the chemicals in processed U.S. wheat/flour. I do eat some small portions of organic chicken and wild caught salmon because my body craves it, and I can definitely tell a difference in my energy level when I don’t get adequate amounts of protein. Thank you, Jenny, for bringing the importance of a healthy diet into the realm of beauty and anti-aging!

Would love to lessen my diary intake but mashed potatoes are a holiday tradition in my house and we are guilty of overloading that with dairy. Anyone have tips for fluffy dairy free potatoes ??

Great video, thank you! At the age of 52, I started drinking 2 litres of water daily, at the age of 30, which dramatically improved my skin. I also stopped drinking alcohol and adopted a low-inflammatory diet with no added sugar. I found that these changes have positively impacted my hormones and have supported my recovery from exercise, as I'm a long-distance runner.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

your skin is incredible, so glowing, i’ve learnt lots of new tips, thankyou !

Have been high level whole food plant based for several years now. Am 77 years old, pale natural blonde, and still get compliments on my skin...wear no foundation, only dusting of powder. Keep in mind that what is good for your skin also is good for your brain...the most important thing to protect.

would love to do this 3 month challenge but come on ……… over christmas, really ! . i will do it in Jan though , promise x

yes yes yes please more videos on the foods you eat and recepies ! can you do a video on the foods you buy in a grocery shop please

I used to use vegetable oil a lot because it was cheaper, but I found out it is one of the least healthy oils out there. Now I use mostly olive oil and walnut oil. Totally agree with you regarding flaxseed oil.

where do you. buy your sencha tea from please

I love your food-related videos. Your way of making healthy food fun and desirable is really great and inspiring.

Great tips Jenny! x However this comment goes out to all of us who already follow the tips (at least most of them, most of the time) - but still have dry skin, blemishes and whatnot for whatever reasons - and despite that, feel good about ourselves (at least most parts, most of the time). Cheers!

Skincare food recipes please 🤍

I love your videos and watch mostly because of your fashion style. I do not eat sugar, but like you, I drink alcohol. I am 71 and have lovely youthful skin and I attribute to my diet.

I cut sugar out of my diet twice for six months each and it was great. My gut was at its best then. I drink loads and loads of water, but it is weird that I had adult acne anyway in my 20s with all that I drank. I think my hormones were in a weird place then (I did have two kids in my twenties). My skin is great now. I have never had alcohol ever, nor do I plan to. I am about to turn 41 on Sunday. People look at me like I am crazy to never have had it, but I didn't even try soda until I was 27 (one sip) and I hated it. Water forever.
Fun video. I liked this.

Even though this about skin health, you also talk about overall health, so you could have also mentioned that alcohol is rather carcinogenic. That's what I personally worry most about when I enjoy a glass of something. 😅😉

there was no puss puss at the end 😔

Sadly for me it’s not possible to cut out sugar completely- I’m already vegan and celiac 😢 already so complicated though (not at home but eating outside or grabbing a snack)

My low-inflammatory diet helped my skin tremendously! I also dramatically cut down alcohol and wow, my skin is happier, brighter, less red!

This video was highly motivating for me. I have psoriasis, an autoimmune condition, so diet and stress play a huge factor in my skin (and holistic) health. It is incurable, but i managed to get it fully under control (with no visible symptoms, I.e. no skin plaques or rashes) just once since I was a teenager, when I was on a high dose of vitamin D supplement coupled with a probiotic, and diet change. For me, that involved very little alcohol, a big reduction in refined carbs and sugars and lots of homemade vegetable juices. I think I've needed something to give me a push to get in the straight and narrow again, so im going to take you up on your offer to cut sugar and lower my alcohol consumption for 3 months! I already don't consume dairy.
Here's hoping it makes a difference! Thank you for your tips and encouragement.

I am a big sugar person! Especially ice cream. I could live on just that. I now have some health issues so I stopped eating ice cream for a while. In 6 months I dropped 10pounds with just that alone. It reduced my sugar intake by about 75%. (that's how much ice cream I ate!) I've continued to keep the weight off and now my blood pressure is much better and some of mother testings have improved. I had a couple of bad days so I went back to eating ice cream and it really wasn't as satisfying as it had been in the past. Still have some sugar and I do eat animal products but I am far healthier than I had been,

I’m doing terrible so I’m in for the 3 months. I eat sugar and dairy and I’ve gained so much weight I just feel horrible 😢

My dear, one of your recent videos showed your glassware collection. I keep thinking about it and wasn’t able to find it. Please enlighten me on the video.

I did an anti-inflammatory style of eating (I don’t like using the word ‘diet’) for six months last year to help combat high levels of inflammation due to several autoimmune conditions. It really helped improving my gut health which in turn helped with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia symptoms. I’ve relaxed it a little but still follow gluten free/low dairy with minimal sugar.

Gorgeous vegan, you are an inspiration!

I really like how you emphasize the connection between diet and skin health! I will join the three-month challenge to cut out sugar and dairy — looking forward to the results!😁😁😁

When I stopped eating dairy my skin cleared up straight away. I don’t get any spots anymore and I had bad cystic acne. I notice if I eat a lot of oil my skin gets worse, funnily enough the amount of sugar doesn’t impact my skin much. Everyone’s different though! :)

I would urge anyone watching to cut dairy even just temporarily to just see how your skin is after a couple months. Try it out don’t take my word for try it yourself it was the best thing I ever did for my skin and I didn’t even realise dairy was giving me spots.

I suffered from migraines since I was 11 yo, i ended up in hospital 2-3 times bc I couldn't help myself anymore. Until last year i discovered the glucose goddes and her hacks to avoid glucose spikes. I cut the sugar and starches and my life changed!!

i know exactly what u mean with the sugar making ur skin worse ..! i just celebrated halloween with some candies and the breakouts i woke up to the next morning was horrifying 😭 i usually only have natural sugars and eat dark chocolate if i rly want some.. my poor skin is suffering 😭

I know in the past you've said you don't like doing what I eat in a day videos but your food videos are so helpful to me for inspiration and making better food choices. I find myself rewatching them whenever I want to freshen up my diet and the way you portray and talk about vegetables makes them appear just delectable!

Jenny, pls tell me where you got those gooseberries from! I can never find them in UK supermarkets, so jealous ha

Do you have a cook book?

No problem cutting alcohol, impossible to cut dairy/meat. The last two don't make me put on weight or cause inflammatory or hormonal issues at all. Alcohol kills me after drink number 2 haha

Girl , I have stopped eating carb when I was 35. I am now 43. And people think I am a very young woman . If I was carb and sugar , yes I get eye lids inflammation and miserable pms !

50 percent of my meals are vegetables . And just like you , I eat tofu , green tea , berries lots of nuts .

As you get older , diet itself won’t do it . Work out is essential . Keep in mind everyone that we female eventually go through menopause one day , that will increase skin issue and inflammation . But if you all do weight lifting , and some aerobic , symptoms can easily maintained . I am not yet menopausal , but I have many friends go through it , ppl who do work out have much less symptoms and skin aging .

Hi Jenny! Could you recommend me a vegan cookbook please

I am on-point with hydration, antioxidants and all, but I’m still very fond of cheese and wine (not too bothered by sweets most of the time)
I’m afraid that it’s my age that has played havoc with my skin lately; no doubt cutting out cheese and wine will help. I’ll go on a break after Christmas though, I’m afraid I make life hard enough for my extended family by being vegetarian ;)

my skin loves lentils
