Acne- Zits Be Gone


Many people try using creams, prescriptions, and harsh chemical face cleansers to get rid of acne. The solution is inward! 

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.

Your Body Needs Fat!! Healthy Oils and Dangerous Oils

Low-Fat Diets vs. Vital Fat Your Body Needs

The fear of weight gain has caused most of us to think that all fat is bad.  Oil is a fat – so many of us avoid it.  However, while it’s true that some fats and oils are dangerous for your health. Not all fats are bad; some are actually very beneficial!

Healthy Oils include olive oil, avocado oil, raw walnut oil, coconut oil, hemp oil, flax oil, and grape seed oil.  They provide your body with the nutrients it needs to build cell membranes, absorb vitamins, cushion vital organs, protect you from extreme temperatures, build hormones, lower inflammation, and make up some of your brain tissue.

Dangerous Oils are those which have become altered in the manufacturing process as in the case of hydrogenated oils (trans fats).  These oils have no place in your diet!  Since your body can not recognize or metabolize these fats, they naturally contribute to weight gain by clinging to cells and prevent detoxification.  These damaged fats also cause inflammation, damage and contribute to heart attacks and stroke.  Dangerous oils include hydrogenated oils (trans fats) and vegetable oils, specifically canola oil.

Canola oil- there is no such thing as a wild canola plant growing anywhere on our planet.  Canola oil is a genetic manipulation of rapeseed oil and is man-made. Avoid canola oil in your diet at all costs.

Hydrogenated oils – the world is waking up to the realization that altering foods is harmful to consumers.  Hydrogen, forced into otherwise non-hydrogenated oils, causes these fats to become more stable at room temperature, thereby extending the shelf life of candy bars and packaged foods.  Never purchase any product that reads “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” on the ingredients label.  Beware of labels that read “trans fat free,” because manufacturers can modify serving sizes to meet “trans fat free” standards, while still loading their products with hydrogenated oils.

Vegetable oil is cheap and is found in nearly every packaged food and salad dressing in the grocery store.  They include soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, canola oil, and others simply labeled as “vegetable oil.”

Margarine – whether your margarine is made from trans fats or vegetable oils, it falls into the category of damaged fats and should be avoided.  It is one molecule away from being plastic!! Ants will not even eat margarine if left outside!! Butter is much closer to its natural source and state – making it a superior choice over margarine. Try ghee, which is a clarified butter.

Other sources of healthy fats include: grass-fed meat, omega-3 eggs, walnuts, avocado, fish, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and etc.
