Ep. 22 Unlocking Natural Beauty: Reducing Sugar and Kicking the Soda Habit for Better Skin

In This episode of the 'Beauty Advice Made Simple Podcast' I stress the negative impacts of excess sugar consumption on health AND our skin. We all know too much sugar causes weight gain, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes, BUT let's talk about how sugar affects the skin by causing -inflammation -collagen and elastin break down  and contributes to conditions like acne. I will also offer you guidance on breaking the unhealthy soda habit by introducing a healthy 'moonshine' drink recipe developed by the website "Trim Healthy Mama", which is a great healthy alternative to sugary sodas and chemical diet sodas. This drink, containing carbonated water, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and natural sweeteners, is a healthy choice and beneficial for blood sugar levels and overall vitality. I also provide practical tips for reducing sugar intake to improve skin health and overall well-being. The "Good Girl Moonshine Recipe" is made from carbonated water, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and other optional ingredients.
