My wife and I both wish we had known about it when we were teenagers...we both feel like we look 10 years younger even now. I hope some teenagers are eating plants and have experienced the difference. To have good skin at that age might be life changing! We also, like to think about, if the "outside" (skin) looks this good - imagine how good the "inside" looks!

A WFPB diet that eliminates so many empty calories is feeding your skin with all those phytochemicals - no wonder! PLUS - and this is big - we are getting a lot of 'purified' water content in our food. This is why when our diets are full of fruits, veggies, starchy veggies and intact whole grains that have a lot of water in them - we don't have to think so much about 'drinking xyz number of glasses of water a day'.

When I first changed to a vegan diet, honestly my skin got super dry for a couple weeks. Once I added a little (1-2 tsp/day) olive oil to my diet, though. it worked itself out and my skin is clearer than ever. I never thought my skin was bad at all, but even my meat eating hubby has noticed how clear my skin is now.
