Acne- Zits Be Gone
Here are a Few Suggestions:
Acne and Candida go hand in hand. Candida is a bad yeast and bacteria that grows in the body. You can develop it from using antibiotics, birth control pills, excess sugar in the diet, and drinking chlorinated water. Any type of skin condition stems from body toxicity, stress, hormonal imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies.
Try removing all sugar from your diet. Use Stevia instead or raw local honey. Limit grain intake- especially gluten because it causes inflammation in gut. Eczema is really gut inflammation!! Lower your fruit intake-berries and green apples have the lowest sugar content. Avoid hydrogenated oils- switch to extra-virgin, cold pressed organic coconut oil. (has anti-microbial properties- kills off the bacteria) Dairy products also cause allergic reactions and can worsen the condition.
Foods to eat:
Foods high in fiber-chia seeds, flax seeds, almonds and other nuts, veggies. This will help balance out your blood sugar levels. Consume more protein- organic chicken, turkey, organic eggs, grass fed beef, sprouted vegan protein (ask me about this), wild caught fish.
Supplements and More:
- Probiotics- puts good bacteria in the gut, helps immune system, at least 50 billion IUS daily.
- Zinc- will repair gut lining- 50 mg/day.
- Antioxidants- elderberry extract- put in smoothies
- Candida Cleanse
- Fish Oil (Omega 3's)- helps with inflammation; aids in healing.
- Face wash-use one containing tea tree oil, willow bark, aloe; kills bacteria and moisturizes.
