Since having been diagnosed with high blood sugar, a little over a year ago, I have mostly cut out grains completely, and yes do eat a mainly raw food diet (easy in the summer months in California). I do eat some mozzarella or farmers' cheeses on occasion with salads -- but do mainly eat raw produce and am lucky enough to enjoy a great variety. Also, beans and nuts. My guess is that 80% of what I eat is composed of raw vegetables. I also have begun to drink unsweetened coconut milk, and aloe vera juice mixed in water. My biggest vice: daily strong espresso (about four shots in the morning). Organic coffee. Every so often (maybe once weekly?) when I eat out, I will eat some grains. Rice with sushi and/or a slice of bread. Ditto for alcohol: I don't keep alcohol at home but will have a glass of wine, perhaps twice a month. No bread or pasta at home. No meat, either. And lately since I have become worried about my skin, I swear that it has gotten older-looking! Am trying not to fixate. ( : It used to be that my skin looked a decade younger than my age, but now people are gauging my age more or less accurately, and so I know that there is a difference. Alas. Thank you again SO MUCH for the response. Best, Carolyn Hi Yafa:

Thanks for your question. We'll do a bit of research into this for you. There are certainly people who have reversed their wrinkles, but we'll have to check in on UVA damage for you. In the meantime, consider the fact that eating as much fresh, raw, organic vegetables as you can will definitely not accelerate your UVA damage, while eating any sort of sugar, junk food, refined carb, and cooked meat will definitely not help you to reverse UVA damage. A.G.E.s in cooked animal products are a large contributing factor to why we get wrinkles (see http://houseofverona.com/how-glycation-causes-wrinkles/ for more on why) so cutting these out will help to slow skin damage, period. When you say you have a clean diet, how would you describe it? Vegan? Raw? That would help us answer your question. Thanks! Yafa Hi Carolina! Thanks for your question.

I have a pretty clean diet, avoid (conscious sun exposure) and seemingly have good skin at this point (I am 41 but look at least a few years younger, I think). I find myself a little panicked now though. I moved into an apartment about seven years ago with an east facing window in the bedroom and no shade. The curtains were transparent and I did not even think of the possibility of sun damage through them. My work schedule means that I sleep from 3 a.m. until 11 or noon. I just used an eye shade to block the sun. Though I use sunblock during the day -- I certainly do not when I sleep -- and though in summer I thought that I began to look tan, I could not really think that it had to do with the sun streaming through my windows and curtains. Now I have just found out that UVA rays do penetrate glass, and though I have bought heavier curtains, I have done six years of damage -- including hot summer months. My skin has definitely aged, and I fear that the UVA damage will show up in time to come. Do you think that this can be reversed?

Jessie Moore, RHN for the House of Verona, has this in response to your question: "Try to think of your health and wellness not only on one dish, snack, meal or even day, but as a whole. As for the doritos...MSG, food colouring, salt, corn, sugar, fried fat...not to mention the highly allergenic foods, dairy, gluten and corn.... that will always be challenging to your health no matter what you eat it with." MSG, sugar, and fried fat are proven wrinkle-creators, so you might want to consider dipping some celery sticks or cucumbers into your avocado dip instead! If you still want a crunch, you can try making your own healthy chips: - If you have a dehydrator at home, slice up zucchini or sweet potatoes and dehydrate them. Taste like chips! - Make raw corn nacho chips by blending together flax seeds and corn, and dehydrating them (if you have one) http://goneraw.com/node/1676 Hi Martina!

If i made an avocado dip with raw garlic, would the Dorito chips as a combined snack override or cancel out the goodness? Hi,

I’m just wondering…
