Book Synopsis

"A youthful glow, skin that's soft to the touch, luster-rich hair, strong, healthy nails, a serene spirit, and a nourished soul...the answer for true beauty is here for each of us no matter what our age. It's only a matter of understanding how to create it."

Beauty is more than skin deep—our appearance reflects our inner health. The beauty problems we see in the mirror can result from hormonal imbalances, toxins, stress, and dietary deficiencies that cosmetics can't mask. Respected nutritionist and bestselling author Ann Louise Gittleman has developed seasonal diets to cleanse the body's systems and allow us to look our very best, accompanied by a unique test to help you determine which tips will enhance your "seasonal beauty type" year-round. Her straightforward advice can be used for three days to two weeks to clear out your own toxic blocks to beauty. In addition, Gittleman provides unique information and specific regimens for each hormonal stage of a woman's life, from adolescence through adulthood

The Living Beauty Detox Program is sound science based on Ann Louise Gittleman's years of study and reserach at Columbia University, the Pritikin Longevity Center, and her own practice. She presents the beauty fundumentals every woman needs to maintain a healthier, more radiant appearance. Understanding the essentials of detoxification and learning to read the body's beauty and health signals are the first steps. A balanced, fruit- and vegetable-rich diet, including powerhouse proteins and healing oils and supplemented with revitalizing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and purified water, improves the functioning of the body's internal systems, and helps rid it of harmful pollutants. Seasonal maintenance protects and regenerates the body inside and out, while clearing away mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks in order to reduce stress and help restore hormonal balance and outward radiance.

From teens seeking to build a strong foundation for beauty to women in their 30s and 40s who wish to maintain a youthful appearance and women 50 and beyond who want to rejuvenate their looks, The Living Beauty Detox Program offers outward beauty and inner harmony for a lifetime.
