detoxing
Detoxing is very similar to an elimination diet in that you
remove potentially
aggravating foods and eat only foods
that are cleansing. People do detox diets for various
lengths of time, from a couple of days, a week to a month.
It is generally better to continuously eat a good healthy
diet all the time, however you could kick start with a detox.
Bear in mind that if the detox is very different from
your normal daily food consumption, you may feel less energetic.
Try and do a detox when you can relax.
When you're on a detox, you need to avoid eating all meat
(including chicken), fish, dairy, processed foods, chocolate,
wheat, alcohol, caffiene, cigarettes and fizzy drinks. Eat
only fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds and drink bottled
mineral water.
After you've finished the detox, try to stick to a diet consisting
mainly of the foods
that can help acne. If you go and eat foods
that can aggravate acne, you may suffer a breakout. Detoxing
itself can bring on a breakout, this is a sign that your body
is cleansing from the inside.
Continue to eat cleansing foods and your kidneys
and liver will do all the detoxing for you and it won't
show up as acne on your face. Our bodies get rid of toxins
in the easiest way possible, people with acne often have sluggish
digestive systems and inefficient liver and/or kidneys
and so the body gets rid of toxins through the skin. By helping
your body to work more efficiently to flush out the toxins,
your acne will fade.
