The current diet for the average "Westernized" person consists of
very little nutrition despite the massive amount of calories that are
eaten.
The diet has had many adverse effects on the general population, and acne is definitely one of them. But it is easily possible to get clear skin through diet and there are many tips and tricks for achieving such an outcome.
Diet is swept under the rug as a possible cause, and cure for acne mainly because of the prevailing notions of modern science. That is, drugs are the answer to everything, even though the old adage "You are what you eat" remains as true as it ever was.
Some people have tried to protect against the real, nature-intended way of diet through restrictions and rules such as the Kosher diet and the constant news reports that show us the benefits of foods, but it still seems that drugs win out because they are perceived as being more "modern" and "advanced."
Still, many people don't see clear skin results until they change their diet through a series of switches that make for more nutrition of a specific sort to target the problems that are affecting them.
Acne can be caused by stress, which is another thing to keep in mind, but it is also caused by too much toxicity in the body, not enough fresh, clean water, lack of nutrients, and even a hormonal imbalance (caused by dairy, animals raised on genetically modified hormones [yuck!] and more) according to numerous holistic acne treatment advocates.
The goal then should be to tackle the acne problem at its roots and to cleanse the skin of impurities while remaining as stress free as possible. The diet and stress part actually coincide many times because the right foods and drinks can even ease stress, such as chamomile tea as an example. These acne-free tips and tricks are hidden from the public eye because they are simple and easy to implement and would probably drastically affect the bottom line of acne drug companies.
Speaking of acne drugs, they may be effective but they often have lots of side effects. The side effects of changing your diet are numerous as well, but all of them are extremely positive! Here are three key basic diet tips to cure acne that will help combine to give you clear skin in the long run:
1. Pure water- Spring water is the best source other than well water from a clean area. Reverse osmosis is also a good choice. Distilled is a bit of a risk and should only be used in moderation. It leeches nutrients and minerals from your body so it can help detox but eventually this will become a problem. The main point in this category however is to stay away from unfiltered tap water as much as possible to keep impurities out of your skin.
2. Organic foods- They may seem like a specialty item, but they aren't. Organic food is food the way nature intended. Less pesticides= more nutritious soil= more tools for your body to fight foreign agents and to cleanse impurities from your system. Eat organic whenever possible and avoid soft-skin fruits and vegetables like peppers and apples in pesticide-laced form.
3. Cleansing help by diet- Many foods cleanse the body including lemon (squeezed into your water perhaps) and dark green algae supplements like chlorella and spirulina. Add these to your diet and they will assist in the process of keeping things clean from the inside out.
These are just a few tips for achieving clear skin through diet as an acne cure, and there are many more tricks out there including special acne cleanses that the guys with fancy degrees on their wall most likely won't tell you about.
