The Wrinkle Cure Diet, created by Dr. Perricone, is a 28-day extension of the 3-Day Facelift Diet, both of which improve the quality of your skin and your overall health. The entire program begins with the 3 day facelift that kicks off the program and allows you to see some of the results possible with this diet. The next 25 days then continue on a diet that is a bit less restricted to enhance the original results while starting effects that can easily last a lifetime.
Dr. Perricone developed this diet to combat what he says are the main factors in the deterioration of young skin. UV rays from the sun dry out the skin and cause collagen and elastin to weaken and become brittle. Environmental toxins absorbed into the skin inhibit the skin’s ability to regenerate properly. These pollutants will also accumulate on the surface of the skin clogging the pores causing inflammation and making it difficult for the body to shed loose skin cells. Finally, free radicals, naturally emitted by your body when it uses oxygen, add to the devastating effects on your skin.
The wrinkle-free diet uses a combination of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory nutrients to combat the different causes of aging and wrinkled skin. It also eliminates foods that Dr. Perricone says damage healthy skin. To do this, the 28 Day Diet is packed with foods like raw fruits, vegetables, salmon, and nuts. Supplements and specialized skin products are also recommended, but not necessary.
On this diet, wild salmon should be eaten a minimum of once a day. This is because it contains high levels of the antioxidant DMAE which is said to have the same effects on the skin as botox. DMAE also increases the amounts of acetylcholine which improves the movement of muscles as well as their ability to contract. Raw, unprocessed vegetables, nuts, oats, and fruits are the best source of antioxidants, as cooking often destroys them. For variety, foods such as poultry and brown rice can be added to your diet.
What you will not be able to consume are foods that are processed or that are not part of the list of low glycemic foods. This means that starches like white bread and sugary complex carbohydrates like candy are out. Other foods on the prohibited food list include potatoes, margarine, sauces, and fatty foods like French fries and hamburgers. For beverages, soft drinks, caffeine and whole milk are also eliminated.
there you go
The Wrinkle Cure Diet sounds difficult, but after a short transition period, it’s pretty easy to follow. Some people find the diet so enjoyable and easy to follow that they adapt it permanently in order to enjoy the youthful and healthy results of this diet. To boost the effects of the diet, add antioxidant- and omega-3-rich skin care products and vitamin supplements, and you’ll see results in no time.
