Eating the right kind of food is what can give
you a strong immune system and help you prevent
sickness and all kinds of skin blemishes including
acne.
Here are some of the foods that can help you
overcome the acne on your face or throughout your
body.
Protein
Eating excess meat is harmful to your health.
Eating too much meat, more than 2-4 ounces per
day, has been found to contribute to narrowing of
the arteries.
If you do physical labor and are involved in a
lot of movement in your work, then you should eat
more than 2-4 ounces of protein per day. Just make
sure that the meat has a minimum of additives and
preservatives.
Remember, meat is high in saturated fat, which
blocks the activity of EPA and DHA, which produce
prostaglandin and control the activity of your
hormones.
Meat and bread is a big contributor to creating
constipation. Meat is difficult to digest and many
times it will get into the colon partial digested.
This condition benefits the bad bacteria and
allows them to dominate the colon and create
constipation.
Because meat and bread have little fiber, they
move slowly in the colon, which leads to
constipation and eventually to some type of colon
inflammation.
Bad bacteria, decaying meat and other
undigested food contribute to the build up of
toxic matter in the colon. This is the type of
condition you should try to avoid, if you have
acne. You need fecal matter in the colon to move
regularly and out the rectum, otherwise, toxic
matter will build up and end up in your blood
stream
Here are the grains you should be eating:
* Brown rice – contain many amino acids that
help rebuild skin tissue
* Whole grains – contain folic acid, magnesium,
and vitamin E, B vitamins, minerals, and fiber
* Oats – use them in the morning with honey or
raisins. Oats have an anti-inflammatory effect on
the skin and help to keep you regular.
Seeds and nuts
* Almonds - Almonds contain protein, the B
vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and
phosphorus. Use them as a snack. These small nuts
help to build muscles and tissue.
* Flax seeds – These seeds are known for
containing plenty of omega 3 oil, an essential oil
for life. They also contain fiber when used ground
up and put into smoothies. Omega 3 is also an
anti-inflammatory oil, which is good for acne.
* Pecans – This is one of the good nuts to eat.
It contains Vitamin A, B’s, C, calcium, iron,
phosphorus, and potassium. Use them as a snack.
* Pine nuts – these nuts also one of the best
to eat. They contain vitamin A, C, B’s, protein
and iron.
* Sesame seeds – They are high in calcium,
phosphorus, and potassium. They are helpful in
relieving various skin diseases such as acne by
reducing the swelling.
* Sunflower seeds – These seeds should be used
as a snack. They are high in protein, calcium and
vitamin A. They provide nutrients for building the
whole body and are good for dry skin.
All of these nuts and seeds should be eaten
raw. Heating and other processing will kill the
life force of the nut or seed and also reduce the
quantity of the vitamins and minerals.
Eat these nuts and seeds as snacks. Sesame
seeds, sunflower, and flax seeds can be put
directly into your blender as you make your
smoothies.
