Dr. Perricone 3 Day Diet

Wild caught salmon is a Perricone staple.By Ann Parkinson

Dr. Perricone is already renowned for his popular skin care line and his original anti-inflammatory diet which claims to fight aging and minimize wrinkles from the inside out. However, he has recently launched a three day diet plan which also claims to provide a dramatic difference in your skin tone over just a short period of time. This diet requires extreme dedication, but it is not without flavor or merit in its approach.

The Perricone 3 Day Diet

You can review the details of Dr. Perricone's 3 Day Diet at his blog. He compares this brief dietary endeavor to "a facelift in your kitchen." Though such promises may seem extreme, the science behind Dr. Perricone's diet is mostly well documented. Perricone proposes a diet that is high in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. For over a decade the United States Department of Agriculture has been promoting antioxidant rich foods as being useful for cellular renewal, thus promoting longevity and health. The USDA concluded that the foods highest in antioxidants were capable of warding off harmful free radicals that are responsible for aging and many kinds of disease.

Moreover, the Mayo Clinic touts the importance of certain essential fatty acids within the diet, particularly the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and fish oil products. These good fats may lower triglycerides, relieve inflammation within the body, and decrease your chance of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Dr. Perricone's love of wild caught salmon is a nod to the importance of these fatty acids.
