Acne Care - One Easy Thing To Do Now To Help
| By Boston Reynolds One of the primary causes of acne breakouts is a build-up of toxins and wastes in your body and bloodstream. Your body has two preferred ways to rid itself of things it doesn’t want to keep inside, your bowels and your kidneys. The primary purpose of these two systems are to remove harmful things from your insides, either by voiding them (getting them out, physically) or by breaking them down and changing them into something else. However, when you overload these two systems, your body has other ways to do the same thing. When your bowels and your kidneys aren’t available for the task, your body looks to the only other two things that can remove wasted from its system, your lungs and your skin. When your body decides to send waste product and toxins through your pores and out your skin, your body has signed itself up for an acne outbreak. Now, before this makes you upset, realize that an acne outbreak is significantly preferable to keeping toxins inside your body. So, what can you do, to keep this from happening? While, yes, you can work on reducing the amount of toxins that you take in (and read our other articles for how to do this) that isn’t a practical thing to do this very minute. Right now, you want to give your waste removal systems a jolt, a way to get jumpstarted. There is a quick way to do this. If you had to choose, you’d want your body to clear itself out via your bowels. It’s a lot easier just to sweep all the badness out, then it is to try to break it down and figure out what to do with it. One way to spur your bowels into action is through fiber intake. Fiber does two things. First, it actually helps to absorb toxins and waste, making them like toxin sponges as they pass through your system. Second, they encourage bowel movements, and when fiber is passed, it brings all that soaked up evil with it. By taking enough fiber, you’ll be speeding up the length of time that waste sits in your system, and you’ll be able to clean up even more along the way. Doing this will prevent your body from expelling it through your skin and pores. So, other than fiber pills, what should you consider starting to eat? Foods high in fiber, of course. These includes fruits & vegetables, such as apples, bananas, oranges, raspberries, and strawberries. Also consider vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, parsnips, and potatoes. You should be eating these anyway, right? But, we’re not saying to start eating as much of these as you can, as doing so may do something worse. One way to measure this is through how long waste sits in your body. 15-18 hours is the ideal amount, with anything below 12 being too fast, and anything over 24 too slow. If you are too fast, your body could be expelling food before it’s gotten all the nutritional value out of it. Too slow, and the waste product that your body doesn’t want sits around too long, causing trouble. A recommended amount of fiber to start with is 30 grams, and watch yourself, to see what it does. You can see how much you are taking in by reading the nutritional values of foods you eat, either on the packaging, or online. Doing this alone wont stop your acne, but it’s the one thing that you can do right now, that will help you in the long run. Encourage your body to expel toxins through the bowels, and not your skin, and you are several steps on the right path. Want to read more tips about natural acne care?
