One of the best ways to remove acne problems permanently is through the change of diet. More specifically is to go vegetarian. I learnt this from a friend of mine who has suffered from acne issue since the age of 14. And here let me share with you how she overcame her acne problem with her vegetarian diet.
She shared that in her teenage years, there was never a time period more than a few days where she did not have any acne popping out of her face. She had moderate acne almost every time. She has tried every kind of acne treatment cream on the market. Only a couple of them worked to a decent degree, the rest were just gimmicky and did not work at all. Going in to high school, she tried Accutane. After a couple months, her acne did completely disappear. However the side affect she had was very dry and irritable skin, which she felt she could still handle with.
She thought she had recovered from acne and stopped using Accutane. However, after a few months, the acne came back with same severity as before. My friend then started practicing yoga as a daily spiritual discipline. She realized everything she read on yoga pointed her to having a vegetarian diet. As she loved yoga, she decided to follow the advice and went vegetarian. In fact, she went a step further and went vegan. She learnt to cook and prepared all her meals from scratch at home. Within a month, her acne vanished, and has not come back. She also realized her skin was not too oily than in the past, and she eventually developed a very healthy skin texture.
What my friend understands is that most acne is caused by inflammation from a rich and processed diet. Because inflammation does not happen outside of someone, it happens as a response to blood toxicity internally. Meat, dairy products, processed food such as canned food, all these are acidic and contain chemicals and toxic that is not good for the skin. So for people suffering from acne, the best acne cure is to eat less meat and processed food, and have more fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet.
Eating vegetables provide you with good minerals and nutrients that build your blood, tissue, bones, and cells. That way, you can prevent your skin from inflammation that causes acne. It is minerals that build every part of your body and keep your body pH at slightly alkaline level as this is the optimal level for your body to function properly. By keeping your body alkaline, you can neutralize body acids which can cause acne. Concentrate on putting minerals into your body by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.
You do not need to switch to a full vegetarian diet immediately if you find it hard to change overnight. You can just try increasing your vegetables intake slowly, and try eating less meat. If you do not really like to eat a lot of vegetables, you can also try vegetable juice which is a great and tasty substitute. So start changing your diet now as it is a great acne cure that is most effective for anyone with acne skin problems.
