Question: What is the nutrition value of avocado skin and pit? I heard during Vitamix blender presentation in Costco that it's good to put avocado pit and skin into blender as well. But I can't find regular avocado nutrition information, for example here: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search Was there any research done about skin and pits? Are they really good source of nutrition?

Answer: Here is the breakdown about the pit: http://www.avocadosource.com/CAS_Yearbooks/CAS_36_1951/CAS_1951_PG_139-152.pdf What I found on the skin: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_eat_avocado_skin This gives more information about the latex allergy warning. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=5#safetyissues Hope this helps.

Question: I like to skin my cucumber before I eat it, is all the nutrition gone? I heard that most of the nutrition is in the skin, but it tastes icky to me, so I cut it off. It is not sexual. Unless you want it to be.

Answer: Fiber - and no, the only way you can eat the skin is if you grow it yourself and they are the burpless kind, then it's yummy.

Question: how does bacteria living on the skin obtain their nutrition? are they chemoheterotrophs?if so where does the nutritions come from?

Answer: They're hetereotrophs, all right. You excrete a lot of interesting organic chemicals through your sweat glands. It's all food for the bacteria.

Question: how do you use nutrition to improve skin? i have acne on my face, and I need to find natural ways of making the skin healthier and clearer.

Answer: Your body secretes oils through your skin all day long and when they build up into your pours, they cause pimples. I don't have a problem with acne but i wash my face about 4 to 5 times a day. There are prescription medications you can use like Brevoxyl and Benzaclin that help with acne. As far as food, you can eat healthier, lots of vegetables, fruits and a little grain will go a long way. Healthier foods help with good skin complexion by putting in the vitamins and minerals your body uses, including your skin. Remember your skin is an organ of your body and requires nutrition just like the rest of your body. Your skin also uses the same energy type the rest of your body uses so you should think about that next time you eat at mcdonalds. You should already know that mcndonalds is not good for your insides, and its not good for your skin.

Question: How do hormones,health and nutrition affect your skin pigmentation?

Answer: This is a very complex question. I can't answer it completely without a lot of research, but this is what pops into mind: The type and amount of pigment (melanin) in your skin is determined genetically and enhanced by exposure to the sun. Normal hormonal fluctuations can affect skin pigment, such as the mask of pregnancy (melasma). Some diseases and conditions affect pigment, including yellow jaundice from blood cell breakdown or orange pigmentation from excess carotene in the diet. And of course anemic people tend to be pale, but I don't think that qualifies as "pigmentation".

Question: How do i remove the skin/fat around my stomach in terms of nutrition and diet? I am 16, am 6'2 in height and weight 163 lbs... I run twice a week and go to the gym-abs training and muscle training 3 times a week... I rest on Sunday. I have recently lost alot of weight-about a stone. Why dont my abs show through considering i have awesome pecks and arms? HELP i believe its nutrition anyone got any advice on diet or diet plans?

Answer: A six pack showing through has a lot to do with your body fat percentage. Take protein after working out your core, not just your abs, and do a lot of cardio.

Question: Has any used Skin Nutrition: Stretch Mark Cream with Shea Butter, Vitamin A, E, C and added Skin Tightener? I only want a answer if you have used this and if so how well does it work will it help old ones that have turned white???

Answer: I am currently in the process on using it. It is slowly fading them! I can tell. It takes about 3 weeks to finally start seeing awesome results. I have really dark stretch marks. I hate them, and I think that you can only get rid of the dark marks because they still have blood, the white ones are already done with, so they are most likely to stay. There are so many products out there, and you can experiment as you go along. I got skin nutrition on amazon.com and it has a 60 day money back guarantee. It comes in a container, and looks small but it lasts a long time. You only need a small amount of cream for each area affected with stretch marks. :) Hope this helped! God bless!

Question: How does bad nutrition affect the skin?

Question: Is naturally clear, flawless skin an indication of good nutrition?
