How badly do you want to get rid of acne? Do you want to quit using prescription drugs and over the counter treatments? I have had acne for over 5 years but am very grateful to be about 95% clear after a few simple changes in my lifestyle.
It is always nice to have a few tips at hand when you are trying to solve a problem.
This article will briefly discuss 5 brilliant tips that will enable you to begin getting rid of acne naturally today.
1.
Limit Sugar Intake Diet has everything to do with acne.
One of the main causes of acne is rapid fluctuation of blood sugar levels and having low insulin resistance.
Avoid extra sugar for a stronger looking complexion on your skin.
2.
Eat Antioxidant Rich Foods Your acne breakouts may be called by free radical damage.
How do you prevent this? By feeding yourself unlimited antioxidants.
Fill yourself with veggies, berries, nuts, seeds, and quality meat to obtain a variety of antioxidants.
3.
Balance Your Omega 3s with Omega 6s Another way to prevent free radical damage is to balance your omega 3 fatty acid to omega 6 fatty acid ratio.
People who consume the western diet have a ratio of 10:1, sometimes 20:1.
An ideal ratio is equal or at least 3:1 in favor of Omega 6s.
A few foods you can try to do this are fatty/oily deep water fish such as salmon, walnuts, flax seeds, almonds, grass finished beef, free range/organic/pastured chicken and there eggs, and a fish oil supplement is always something I recommend to someone who does not eat a lot of fish.
4.
Have a Green Smoothie Every Morning I wish I would of had this tip years ago.
Greens are the most nutritious foods on the planet yet most of us do not eat any greens outside of the traditional lettuce.
Feed your skin with an abundance of nutrients.
A green smoothie is a fun, tasty, and easy way to do this.
A green smoothie is simply fruit and greens blended together.
Add water and ice for desired temperature and texture.
When you make your first green smoothie be sure to blend together your favorite fruit together (a banana is perfect if you enjoy them) and then add just a little bit of spinach leaves.
If you enjoy it then add a little more spinach the next time.
Be sure to rotate your greens and mix up your fruits too.
5.
Substitute Water For All Your Drinks Do you drink a lot of pop? Starting today, drink water instead.
If your normally do not drink much water then it may be hard at first to drink it without much thirst.
Anytime you need a drink, skip all other options.
Make it simple on yourself and only drink water.
Water will help flush out toxins from your blood that are causing acne breakouts.
Acne is a way of releasing toxins to your skin and drinking a sufficient amount of water can help this.
Reading tips is one thing and actually taking action with the tips is a whole different story.
If you want to begin your journey to clear skin today then I advise you actually take action with these tips starting today.
