ginger?
interesting. I should go buy some.
What about green tea? I hear it is anti-inflammatory as well. In fact, the Chinese have long regarded it as "pimple tea" because it prevents them.
Oh, and I saw on your sig. that you believe sugar and processed food causes break outs. Thank you. Yeesh, there are too many people on here who say what you eat doesn't matter. Whatever.
For about two weeks I ate nothing but green smoothies, vegetables and lean protein and my skin looked great and was healing rapidly. Two days ago I had a bit of a slip up, ate some ice cream and then decided to just screw the whole thing and see if my diet was really helping my skin so I ate chocolate, carbs, ect.
Today my skin looks like absolute crap. I definately broke out from eating these foods. Yuck.
Do you know of any other foods that help combat acne?
Yup. I have tried and tested it again and again. Sugar, dairy, and hydrogenated oils are definite triggers for me. Rather than listening to other people blindly I would rather you observe your own body. for me diet is the
most important factor in this scourge of acne.
Good to know that you could follow the healthy diet for two weeks. That is a pretty long time for someone who is not absolutely certain that diet is related to acne. Dont worry too much about the slip up though. Just a minor detour. Taking a little Apple Cider Vinegar before the meals may help you deal better with the carbs. but it doesnt give us the license to cheat though.
If you can improve your diet for good then it will serve you brilliantly not just for acne but also as regard s the overall health in the longer run.
You can choose to eat complex carbohydrates, an beneficial fats like olive oil as well along with the green smoothies. I like to use the olive oil in my salads. very tasty. As for the OK foods you can check this link
http://www.nutritiondata.com/foods-0009920...0000000000.html which provides foods that are anti inflammatory in nature. Besides also try to eat stuff with less Glycemic load.
take time to get acquainted with the above website. It is an amazing website truly. Also check out some of the more experienced veteran members on this holistic board. I find posts by Ndnromeo, Danny, Kodi very informative in particular. You can learn so much from these people.
Just spend quality time on this website and rather than concentrating on the symptoms of he disease( topicals, antibiotics etc) try and handle it at a deeper level (holistic approach). You will do well then.
good luck
