What Can a Glass of Water Do for Your Acne?

November 18th, 2009 No comments

Did you realize that your body is made up of almost entirely water? As a matter of fact, almost 98% of all of the cells in our body are water and unless we stay hydrated on a regular basis, we are going to suffer as a result. What most people don’t realize is that problem skin is often a direct result of the fact that we are not getting enough water on a regular basis. Acne is not a disease but it is an outward sign that our body needs something, often fluids. In order for us to treat our acne, we need to take in these fluids regularly.

The easiest way for us to do this is to simply drink water and to drink it all day long. In order for us to be truly hydrated, we need to be drinking half of our body weight in ounces on a daily basis. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds than you would need to drink 100 ounces of pure water every day. This will really go a long way in making sure that you are hydrated and in cleansing your body from the inside, removing your skin problems.

Along with the water that you need to drink, you should make sure that you are also taking some salt. Many people will tell you that salt is bad but it is only bad if you’re not drinking enough water. Water is also bad for you if you’re not taking enough salt. You need to find a balance between the two and you also need to be taking natural salt because processed salt is poison to the body. I find that taking a large pinch of salt every time I drink a glass of water is plenty for me. It allows the water to stay in my body long enough that it does its hydrating work and keeps it from passing so quickly that it pulls the minerals out of my body that it needs.

This is something that you need to experience for yourself in order to believe it. The benefits that you will receive from drinking water and being hydrated will far surpass simply cleansing your skin. You will feel more alert and alive and you will be better able to make decisions and to go about your day to day life. It is a simple thing to do, but something that many people have a difficult time doing on a regular basis. The simple fact is, it has helped many people with their problem skin and more.

Is Your Liver to Blame for Your Acne?

November 17th, 2009 No comments

Of all of the difficulties that we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, acne can be one of the more frustrating. Yes, there are some diseases that we can certainly have which are much worse than problem skin but the simple fact is, very few of us have to deal with those but almost all of us have to deal with skin problems. That is why there is such a push for a natural cure for these problems and there certainly are a lot of that are available out there. Something that many people don’t realize, however, is that acne is not a disease itself. It is merely a symptom that there is something wrong within the body that needs to be corrected.

Whenever we are born, we come out perfectly balanced, both inside and out. As we live our lives, however, that balance begins to disappear and there are a lot of different things that can occur which can cause a variety of problems for us. For example, we all have a pH balance within our body that needs to be maintained in the alkaline state. Whenever we allow this to go to the acidic, a lot of different problems can occur for us which include diseases and, of course, acne. A simple way of recognizing this is that many people will break out after they eat an acidic vegetable or fruit, such as a tomato.

The toxins that we take into our body also are stored within our body because it is unable to cleanse them all. Although our body is wonderfully made and it certainly can take care of a lot of these toxins for us, we tend to take too much in on a daily basis for it to process. Many of these toxins are stored in our body, either in the liver or in the colon. Since this is the case, it is necessary for you to cleanse these two organs and flush the toxins out of your body. If you do this, you are going to notice a difference in your skin almost immediately.

Although there certainly are a lot of different cleanses that you can do, you should always build up to them because they can be rather harsh on the body. Eat red beets on a daily basis and switch to a more raw food diet for a few weeks before attempting one of these cleanses. Stick with it, it works in almost every instance.
