feed your skin, starve your wrinkles. Bought this book for my mother one of the easiest books to read find information on. It is very informative, easy to understand and catagorized easily, able to find information about the fruits and vegetables quickly. Explains why the certain fruits are beneficial to skin to you etc; tells why their nutrional value etc. My mother loves it so much she ordered this for her daughter-in-law.

A KEEPER,
This review is from: Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles: Eat Your Way to Firmer, More Beautiful Skin with the 100 Best Anti-Aging Foods (Paperback)
A friend/coworker of mine and i are always discussing how to slow our aging process...lol. We've researched everything and bought it all. I'm not sure how i came across buying this particular book but WOW; it was a keeper. We both read it over many many times and although it focuses on our skin, it taught me so much about what certain foods do to our bodies. I refer to it often. Especially when i "fall off track", it reminds me what my body really wants from me. I'm reading it again this week while trying to get back onto my healthy routine, and i'm proud to say i enjoyed my sweet potato at lunch today! No deep fried potato wedges for me! :)

Excellent book, with useful information and tasty recipes!,
By Leanne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles: Eat Your Way to Firmer, More Beautiful Skin with the 100 Best Anti-Aging Foods (Paperback)
Pre-release customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
I love reading about makeup and skin care, and have a small collection of books on this topic. Tannis' book, however, approaches skin care from a novel and interesting perspective: instead of looking at skincare products or cosmetic procedures that ensure better skin, she focuses instead on 100 "superfoods" that will help your skin improve itself from the inside out.
The book opens with two chapters that explain the make-up of the skin (including the various layers, such as the epidermis, etc.), the key ingredients that the skin needs for better health (such as collagen and elastin), and how the various nutrients she will later recommend help your skin. From there, the book delves more deeply into the 100 power foods, which are divided into their respective benefits as far as skin health. (Although the title suggests that the book focuses on anti-aging foods, it actually covers many skin complaints.) These chapters are entitled: Foods that Fight Wrinkles; Foods that Moisturize; Foods that Tighten, Smooth, and Fight Sag; Foods that Brighten Your Complexion; Foods that Fight Puffiness and Inflammation; and Foods that Fight Acne and Psoriasis. Because of the way that these chapters are broken down, a reader can start incorporating all of the superfoods into her or his diet, or just incorporate those foods that will best treat her or his particular skin condition. Each chapter opens with some background on that particular skin condition or complaint, before moving into a discussion of the foods that will help heal it. When Tannis explains each food, she clearly explains why and how the food will work on your skin, citing research from the latest scientific studies to back up her claims. Her explanations are thorough and detailed, and most of the foods are those (like blueberries, eggs, various nuts, barley, fish oil, etc.) that are generally considered healthy and good for the entire body, not just the skin. The book closes with a section that includes 50 recipes using these foods. The recipes include things like fruit smoothies, breakfast bulgur, various snack mixes, soups, salads, stuffed mushrooms, main entrees, and desserts. They are all healthy and low in fat, and don't require any exotic or strange ingredients that are hard to locate. So far, I've made one of the fruit smoothies and the Chocolate Yogurt Mousse, and both were easy to make and delicious! Overall, this is an excellent book, and was interesting to read. While you may already know that many of these foods are good for you, it was very helpful to have them broken down by the ways in which they will benefit your skin. Great read! 24 of 24 people found the following review helpful:

Motivational and, Above All, Fun,
By Sian Montrose - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles: Eat Your Way to Firmer, More Beautiful Skin with the 100 Best Anti-Aging Foods (Paperback)
If you are looking for a breakthrough, or even just to learn something new, this is probably not the book for you, unless your knowledge of nutrition is beyond minimal. Every single "healthy" food you can probably think of is listed in this book (with the exception of milk, which supposedly might be a cause of acne) and none are really elevated as better than any of the others. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes... remember them, all those foods that have been marketed as healthy for ages? Yeah, well, not only are they healthy overall, but turns out they are also healthy for your skin. Not really much of a shocker. So, unless you didn't know that fruit was good for you, you're unlikely to be surprised by what you read in this book. The only two surprising foods that she mentioned were maple syrup and dark chocolate... and if I had been following health news a little more closely, the chocolate wouldn't have surprised me either.
So, why the four stars? Simply because this colourful and crisp encyclopaedia of health foods was so deliciously pleasant to read. There is something ridiculously satisfying about knowing exactly how and why each food you eat is benefiting you. For me, this delightful little book has been a major motivator in my quest to eat better. Somehow, broccoli and Brussels sprouts taste a lot better when you can look them up, as you eat them, with a handy-dandy glossary, and read about exactly how they will strengthen, moisturize, or protect your skin. The book is divided into sections such as "foods that fight wrinkles" and "foods that brighten your complexion" which makes looking foods up even more fun. Additionally, the first couple of chapters provide a quick but useful understanding of skin and its many layers and components. Now, when I eat rhubarb, I think, "I'm tightening up my face with silica, and all that vitamin C is destroying loads of free radicals, and promoting the synthesis of collagen." It's nice to have a reminder as to why eating well is so important, and to know exactly what sort of impact you're having with every single food you eat. This book is essentially a celebration of healthy foods on an individual basis, and it's also an extremely fun, breezy read. So, enjoy! 26 of 30 people found the following review helpful:

Nothing New Here,
By Xoe Li Lu "xoelilu" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles: Eat Your Way to Firmer, More Beautiful Skin with the 100 Best Anti-Aging Foods (Paperback)
Pre-release customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
I received this book as part of Amazon's Vine Program. I am 43 and look quite young for my age, and I am very interested in preserving my skin as I grow older, so I was excited to read this book. It was a disappointment - I didn't learn anything new (just a basic rehashing of standard beauty magazine advice, really) accompanied by a lot of recipes I would either never make or are so basic that I didn't need a recipe. It does provide the basic info that is currently available regarding anti-aging foods, but nothing you couldn't find by leafing through Vogue or any of the "healthy living" magazines.
