Acne

Maybe your acne-prone skin is improved through proper diet? Oh yes!

Still searching for the answers to your acne problems? Are you still doubtful that your acne prone skin can be improved by a proper diet? You’ve tried medicines and they didn’t work or maybe you haven’t but you would like to solve your problem the old fashioned way. Well, either way you look at it, the point is still the same that food can actually aid you with your struggle against acne.

The manner in which food is cooked can contribute to acne outbreaks along with stress. When cooking your foods be sure not to heat, cook, or even defrost foods in the microwave. By microwaving foods, you are actually subjecting yourself to added toxins in your food from the microwave. Because acne is a way the body rids itself of extra toxins in your body, the more you microwave, the more toxins you collect, the more acne appears. If given the choice, choose the oven or the cook top stove to heat food instead of the microwave.
Along with the way certain foods are cooked, a poor diet in general can also add to the development of acne. Think about it, the American diet is full of far more sugar than one could ever need, along with high amounts of sodium, chocolate, fried foods, processed foods, caffeine, dairy products, seafood, carbonated beverages, and iodine-rich foods. If you want healthier looking skin, then you must choose healthier foods and overall make healthier lifestyle choices.
Of course these foods are all very addicting so in moderation you can still enjoy them without the negative effects of ferocious acne. When consumed in massive quantities, this is when problems begin to occur so be sure to watch out for those large portions. After a bad day, if you feel the need for a chocolate bar do not deprive yourself. As long as these small splurges are paired with a healthy diet, there is absolutely nothing wrong with an occasional treat so go ahead and indulge!
Of course with a healthy diet, you should also be sure to drink plenty of water. Your skin will be more hydrated and better able to rid itself of toxins if you drink at least eight to ten 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Be sure to sip the water throughout the day instead of just gulping it all down in short order so that your body can better utilize the water you take in.
What you eat can indeed leave you with either gorgeous and clear skin or rather craters of acne…really the choice is yours. There are lots of different foods that can help you with clearer skin. Just make the right choice…including drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
