The World's Most Important and Overlooked Beauty Secret

By Sally Taylor

A lot of you just aren't going to like the most important beauty secret. Of course, it's your choice whether to heed nature or not. The fact is though, unless you just want to be considered just another case of no competition, you need to let the idea sink in deep that there are certain factors of beauty that are completely indispensable if you are going to have radiantly beautiful skin, hair, or body tone.

You can run to plastic surgeons and have your face lifted until your feet don't touch the floor, suck enough fat out of your thighs to roast a whole pig in, or tuck that tummy until it hits your backbone. You can use every form of skin mask and wrinkle cream on the market. If you don't have a handle on the most important aspect of beauty and health control, anything you do will just fall right back apart again. Are you one of those who spent five or ten grand this year at a plastic surgeon or aesthetician to look awesome? Did the work come with a life time guarantee tee? Of course, it didn't. In that you can find your first clue.

The deep dirty truth about beautiful skin is that it can not be fully healthy unless all the components of the skin system are healthy. That means capillaries, connective tissue, muscle, skin layers, and the skin cells themselves. Of course, this means the right nutrients, that's a given. But all the vitamins in the world aren't going to do you much good without the most essential element. That element is aerobic exercise. Now that you want to shoot me where I stand, I will explain that statement.

Your skin, your largest organ, is an intricate system with many elements working to support it.

If any of these elements break down, your skin will lose its integrity. If the elements under the skin, muscle and connective tissue, break down your skin will wrinkle and sag. If the capillaries fail, or blood cells can't get nutrients to the skin cells, they will starve or suffocate. When blood cell don't remove wastes quickly and efficiently cells become diseased. You can not correct one of these elements and expect to maintain beauty. They must all be functioning correctly. That is where aerobic exercise comes in.

In today's world we are continually bombarded with toxins. These toxins are more or less waste material. When you carry enough waste material your body can become toxic itself and cause you disease and illness. Aerobic exercise allows blood to pump through more efficiently to places where toxins are accumulating and carry them out of your system through the lungs or kidneys away from the cells where they cause disease.

Through aerobic exercise the blood cells can also more quickly deliver the most important nutrient to your cells. Oxygen. If you do not agree that oxygen is the body's most important nutrient, try to hold your breath for about five minutes. You will notice the effects long before you pass out, which will be only a few minutes. You can live days without water, and weeks without food, but you won't survive more than a few minutes without oxygen. Needless to say, skin cells that aren't well oxygenated don't stand a chance of looking healthy and vibrant.

To get all of this oxygen to your skin cells your blood needs a good clean highway. That means your capillaries have to be kept in top working order, too. By exercising religiously, these highways are kept elastic and nutritious oxygen can be pumped to those cells and any damaging toxins or proteins that are threating to them can be pumped away before it can become a problem.

Muscles and connective tissues, too, need to be kept elastic and well toned if they are to support the skin organ which covers them. When the muscles and connective tissues lose tone, the skin is allowed to sag and wrinkle. Not only is wrinkling a poor beauty statement, it is a very strong indication of the shape of the interior portions of your body as well.

There is no way to replace what aerobic exercise will do for your skin. There are other elements your skin needs as well, but if it is not getting the waste removal and oxygenation that aerobic exercise provides, there is only so much else you can do for it. So put away all of your cremes, lotions, and plastic surgeons phone numbers and go take a walk, ride a bike, or crank up the radio and dance. You might find some incredible ways to get that exercise that will cause you to smile and add just a bit more radiance to that wonderful complexion.
