Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Hi Tanya, Common dry skin is a symptom of systemic dehydration if it occurs on a generalized basis. On a seasonal basis, it can be the result of some combination of heated indoor air (which is dehydrated), cold wind (which typically has a very low humidity relative to wind the rest of the year), tendency to eat heavier (i.e., lower water-content) foods, etc. In other words, it's likely symptomatic of dehydration, the only question is as to the proximate cause. Other common symptoms are dryness in the throat (typically the first sign that the body is requesting added water), dryness in the mouth, chapped lips, etc. Best, Elchanan _____ rawfood [rawfood ] On Behalf Of The Grrl Thursday, May 03, 2007 9:08 PM rawfood [Raw Food] Dry Skin Even before I went raw, in the winter months I had a flare-up of dry skin on my face. Now it's worse than before. I just find it uncomfortable. Has anyone dealt with this?

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I wondered that too. Right now I'm eating spinach, apples, oranges, grapefruit and some bananas. I eat nuts about twice a week, sometimes 3 times a week. Not that many because I have a lot of digestion troubles. I'll add more water and see if that works. Thank you!
