Anti Aging! What if there were certain foods you could eat that would prevent aging. Would you do your best to consume these foods? What about foods that make you age faster? Would you avoid these foods? Taking care of your skin starts with decent skincare products; a great skincare routine; and proper nutrition – have you got a good grasp on all three factors?Foods to AvoidIs there any merit to those old wives tales that tell of avoiding certain foods? While spicy foods and foods that are laced with chocolate may not be so bad for you, there are certain things that you should avoid (if you want clear skin, that is).Try to keep the amount of salt and sugar that you eat to a minimum. Keep careful count of those calories, and avoid large amounts of fat. These things may seem simple and basic, but many of us never bother to pay attention to them regularly. Now, onto those things that you should be eating…Foods to Indulge InYou’ll find that most of the foods on this list are some form of fruit or vegetable. That’s largely due to the fact that fruits and veggies are packed with anti aging goodness. Eat your heart out when it comes to: avocado, berries, cruciferous veggies, garlic, ginger, nuts, soya, whole wheat, and watermelon.Speaking of water – excessive water consumption is one of the most important things that you can do for your body. Drink lots of water every single day. While there are conflicting opinions regarding the amount of water you should drink, be aware that you should always reach for water above any other type of beverage.Things to Think AboutIf you find that you are rushed for time, don’t be so quick to grab that packaged product. Often, packaged products contain lots of chemicals that will actually harm your skin. Instead, try cutting up some fruits and veggies in advance. This way, when you want to grab something quick…you can grab something healthy.As much as we like to eat healthy, it is also important that we take care of our skin. Treat your skin as you would the rest of your body. Only purchase those skincare products that are organic, healthy, and natural. If you treat your skin right, then it will reward you with youthfulness, suppleness, and health.Oh So OrganicSo many people have been making the switch to organic foods these days – and that’s great – but what about your skin? Organic skincare products are worth just as much as those organic food products. Organic beauty or body products do not have a ton of toxic chemicals inside of them. Instead, they are filled with ingredients that you actually wouldn’t mind eating (not that it would taste good!). If you want to take care of your body, you have to take care of all of it – skin and all.From the Inside OutGreat skin begins with the foods that you eat. Once you learn how to choose the right foods, you can then begin to understand how your skin works. You see, as soon as you start to eat properly, you will begin to see a change in the way that your skin looks.Just as important as the foods that you eat are the skincare products that you choose. If you really want to care for your body, make sure that you eat well and select the right organic skincare products.

Governments Must Enforce Food Hygiene Law and Stop Passing The BabyGovernments have a key role to play in the area of food hygiene. Only a few decades ago our eating habits were much different. Each nation had its traditions and idiosyncratic food culture. With the mass development of the tourist industry populations have discovered new food cultures and now demand’s products from around the world to add diversity and interest to their diets.This presents challenges for the authorities of any country. The level of control which the authorities have in territories outside of their own is at least very limited. The quality control of food products and the procedures of growth and preparation of materials used in these products are put into the hands of industry on the understanding that companies function along national, regional and international guidelines.Generally speaking, the quantity of newly imported food products coming through borders of countries far exceeds the capabilities of the relevant authorities of any specific country to regulate. Most authorities have massive back logs of product samples that are waiting to be checked. Just stocking these products is a logistical nightmare.Although imported products bring an influx of new microbial species with them, so do tourists. Tourists that come back from foreign holidays do so with microbial samples of their experiences and the places they visited. Many of these tourists may work in the food industry which means that there is potential for new microbes to spread throughout populations. The influx of immigrants into western countries is also a major contributory factor in the introduction and spread of microbial Species.The task of food hygiene law enforcement is carried out by governments at central, regional and local authority levels. As we go up the food chain toward the end consumer we find that central and local governments hare having to deal with subjective issues such as facial culture which complicate the enforcement of food hygiene laws in many instances. Immigrant populations claim the right to practice their own traditions and practices which is many instances is not conducive to the statutes of law in areas of food hygiene. Authorities are finding it increasingly difficult to relate to issues as objectively as they would like.The role of government in the area of food hygiene is first and foremost to protect consumers from illness and injury that may be cause by food in an adequate manner. The policies of the government should consider the vulnerabilities of the population as a whole and/or the vulnerabilities of specific groups within the population.It is the job of the government to divide this task to different authorities who’s job it is to oversee different aspects of food hygiene and safety control. It is also the job of government to see that information flows freely and effectively throughout this chain where and when applicable.Governments should also provide assurance that food sold within its jurisdiction is suitable for human consumption. The government has to take ultimate responsibility for the safety of it’s citizens.The government also has to maintain confidence in the public eye that internationally traded food is safe to eat and provide food hygiene educational programs that effectively communicate the principles of correct food hygiene principles both to agriculture, industry, trading and consumers alike.Trade agreements with foreign countries should be made in such a way that the national interests of the population is safeguarded. When these conditions are breached action must be taken to safeguard the public interest.The area of food hygiene is one which is constantly changing. The microbial world is very dynamic and changes from day to day. The actions of people within the food industry also changes and in many cases looks for ways to cut or minimize safety procedures and standards. It is the job of government to ensure that the financial gain of unscrupulous people and both in the national and international arenas do not harm the well being of the consumer and to everything within their power to convince foreign governments to control exported product quality.
