Your glowing skin is a reflection of your diet. #AskDrNigma

The foods our bodies require for glowing skin requires a combination of anti inflammatory foods rich in vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids.

Anti-inflammatory foods not only helps keep your skin looking flawless but help support insulin and blood sugar levels in your body. More and more research is pointing evidence that chronic inflammation in the body is the root cause of many illnesses and an anti inflammatory food diet is the cure. Your skin will be the barometer of these illnesses. Inflammation can be described in the body like a slow burning fire to a blazing fire, damaging the body slowly to quickly.

The only way to keep this fire in check is to put out the fire or prevent it from starting by encouraging a combination of foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins and omega fatty acids. #HealthyDoc

Traditional Chinese Medicine includes the use of acupuncture and Chinese herb. #AskDrNigma

Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that treats patients by insertion and manipulation of fine specialized needles in the body. The aim of inserting needles is to restore this flow of energy. It is believed to be effective due to the release of pain killing substances such as endorphins and the pain-gate theory which states that stimulation in one area of the body will override the pain sensations in another. #HealthyDoc

What if turning on collagen production is as easy as switching on the light?

After many years of medical research, LED light therapy was developed, delivering non-invasive light therapy treatment, reducing the appearance of the visible signs of skin ageing. LED light therapy uses different colors of LEDs (light emitting diodes) that stimulate the cells in your skin. Laboratory studies have shown that skin cells grow 150-200 percent faster when exposed to certain LED light wavelengths. Independent research for over 40 years has shown LED red and infrared light delivers powerful therapeutic benefits to living tissue.

Green smoothies are great for your skin. #AskDrNigma

Ongoing stress can cause your outermost skin cells to shrink. #AskDrNigma

Research has shown that during times of stress, people tend to frown more often. Chronic frowning as I call it can create deep permanent lines without you even knowing it over time. Adding fuel to the fire, the hormone cortisol, the primary hormone that our bodies secrete when we are under stress also increases. This means that whenever we're under stress, we're exposed to effects of Cortisol which isn't bad in and of itself, it is a normal part of our physiological make up, but when we are exposed to too much of it on an ongoing basis due to living in an "overbooked way of life" and undernourished, cortisol can cause dysfunction in every tissue of the body and cause premature aging. #HealthyDoc
