Is Internal Beauty

Jean Kerr, American author and playwright wrote:
“I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty
being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What
do you want an adorable pancreas?”—
Jean Kerr was closer to the truth than she might
have realized. Every outside organ of the human
body is eligible to be called beautiful, but
because internal organs are ordinarily seen only
by surgeons, they get excluded from the beauty
contest. If our internal organs were observed, we
would describe them in terms of attractiveness,
and normal color and shape would be considered
beautiful. You need only compare pictures of
normal healthy internal organs with pictures of
their infected and diseased counterparts in the
medical books to convince yourself that health and
beauty are synonymous.
A healthy colon looks like evenly braided muscles.
On the other hand, unhealthy colons are deformed:
twisted and looped in some parts, ballooned and
engorged in others, as revealed by barium X-rays.
Visit a colon therapist, if only to observe the
pictures of unhealthy colons and see for yourself
how ugly one can be on the inside.
The blood of a healthy person is also beautiful.
The red blood cells are uniformly round. The blood
of a body full of toxins is contaminated with
pathological bacteria, abnormal proteins, and
parasites. When red blood corpuscles clump
together, the condition is called Rouleau or
“sticky” blood. Rouleau, this clumpy,
unattractive blood, appears 5 to 20 years before
symptoms of illness present themselves. It is an
early messenger of hundreds of degenerative
diseases. Conglomerates of red blood cells cannot
access the fine capillaries of the body. Rouleau
is particularly damaging to the organs of the
head, in particular the eyes, ears, and scalp. A
diet high in meat and dairy products increases the
stickiness of your platelets. Blood that becomes
sticky is a sure precursor of blood clots,
strokes, and heart attacks.
The arterial pipelines in a healthy circulatory
system are clean and clear from obstructions. In
healthy arteries, the inner lining, called the
intima, is smooth, supple, and without cracks. A
cross-section of a normal coronary artery shows no
arterial thickening or blood-blocking plaque
deposits.
An unhealthy circulatory system paints an entirely
different picture. The middle muscular layer of
the artery can no longer fully recoil after a
pulse wave has expanded the vessel. Elasticity of
the artery walls is reduced, and cracks and
hollows appear. They catch calcium, cholesterol
deposits, fat accumulations, and clusters of
platelets. Cholesterol deposits roughen the inner
surfaces and damage the walls of the arteries. At
first, plaque build-up does not cause
discomfort--it is just ugly. But later, thick,
clogged bloodstream results in coronary arteries
becoming occluded with fatty buildup, which
effects circulation and causes deterioration of
the connective tissues. Deterioration and abnormal
hardening of the arteries result in a process
called arteriosclerosis and may cause heart
disease, stroke, and hypertension.
The body often displays real ingenuity faced with
substances it cannot metabolize or eliminate. It
breaks them down and distributes them to remote
areas of the body away from vital organs to
minimize harm. The body takes the poisons
out-of-the-way but not necessarily out of sight.
The toxic wastes are pushed towards the peripheral
organs, which happen to be the skin and every
other organ that we can see on the outside.
External deformities are direct manifestations of
internal pathologies. Ugly ropes of varicose
veins, puffy faces, and cellulite are telling
tales about your inside condition. Every pimple,
psoriasis, or pigment change on your skin is in
fact a reflection of some organ struggling to do
its job. Every bulge, boil, or swelling is a sign
that the body is pushing out some toxins in its
effort to protect itself.
The term “natural beauty” has been misused and
abused beyond restoration. Because there is no
natural beauty without 100% natural food, the
beauty that will emerge on the raw food diet I
call Rawsome Beauty. Our external beauty is at its
best when our internal organs are in the best
possible shape, form, and color. Beautiful is not
something extra the body needs: to be beautiful
both inside and out is the natural state of
one’s body.
The vitality of internal organs, working properly,
transcends your skin and brings a radiance to your
face. This is when beauty does penetrate the skin.
So when we admire sparkling eyes, fabulous skin,
and lustrous hair, in a way we are admiring the
teamwork of a healthy liver, colon, kidneys, etc.
How profound the direct meaning of the phrase
"beauty comes from within" really is.
Health and beauty are considered to be
chronological losses. In my books I will convince
you they don’t have to be. It is biologically
possible to look beautiful at any age. I intend to
prove that beauty is not an accident; beauty is
your birthright, it can be yours through the right
daily choices, food you put in your mouth being
the most important one. You can dramatically
improve your appearance and do it 100 percent on
your own without expensive products, plastic
surgery or costly cosmetics.
