Boost Your Immune System to Combat Acne

Hello Everybody! Today I’d like to talk about ways that we can boost our immune systems.  This is important for everybody but especially those with acne!  Read on to find out how to keep your inner army in tip-top shape! 

  • Eat foods that boost your immune system like lemons, oranges, garlic and foods that contain zinc, selenium, magnesium and vitamin E, A, and beta–carotene.  If you know your immune system is weak take a multi-vitamin.   
  • Take an herbal supplement.  There are hundreds on the market-all of which will help to boost the body’s natural immunity.  Echinacea is very useful for immune system problems.  You can also try aromatherapy oils. 
  • Get enough sleep.  At least 6-10 hours depending on your needs. Need I say more?   
  • Eat plenty of low-fat protein-but not too much.  Proteins are the foundation of a healthy immune system, brain, skin, muscles and blood. 
  • Drink lots of water- at least eight glasses a day.  If you get headaches and feel tired and thirsty during the day you’re probably dehydrated.   
  • Avoid caffeine.  That includes coffee, cola and candy bars that contain chocolate.  Caffeine depletes the body of vitamins and minerals and will also dehydrate the body.  A dehydrated body can’t keep the skin healthy and clear. 
  • Avoid refined, white sugar.  This is by far one of the best ways to strengthen your immunity. Sugar drains the body of energy, causes weight gain and lowers immunity. It can even cause fuzzy thinking.  Many nutritionists believe sugar acts on the brain and body like a toxic drug.  Use agave or stevia instead. 
  • Eat more fruits and vegetables! How many? As many as possible.  Our grandmothers were right when they told us to eat all our greens. Fruits and veggies in an array of bright colors contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber and enzymes.  No other food can compare to the healing and protective function of fruits and vegetables. 
  • Take a walk or do some exercise in the cold.  Exercise energizes the body and stimulates immune function by causing the release of chemicals called endorphins.  Filtered air fosters germs so go outside and do something active.  The cold weather causes the thyroid gland to work better and peps it up. 

In love and hope  Johanna 



Back Acne for People of All Races

Acne treatment

Hi,

 


what is a very good and effective acne treatment product for black skin? 

 

 

 

 

Aromatherapy is the ancient

Aromatherapy is the ancient science of healing, relaxing and energizing by the use of plants and their parts.
The roots, barks, flowers, fruits, seeds and nuts play a crucial part in this science. It is one of the more popular branches of alternative medicines. The word aromatherapy is derived from two words aroma which means smell and therapy which stands for healing.Im sure there is a way for Acne to be healed this way 

That is what I have started

I used Clearpores and NOTHING has worked as well. I feel as though although I have a couple zits left. I'm much better and my Acne is basically cleared up

now and my entire family

now and my entire family including my brother are using agave instead of white sugar. Agave is a natural sweetener so why eat refined sugar when there is a good alternative supplement available. You can have making brownies and they will taste good and its good for your health as well. 

Water Therapy

The only great solution to acne is water therapy. Not only does it cleanse the body but is also one of the most effective ways to lose fats. Have you heard about the Sassy water? Sassy water might call to mind off tasting tap, or an incident involving a watermelon dropped from a second store balcony onto a full glass, (sorry Mom!) but it's a recipe for a drink. Combine water, slim peels of lemon and cucumber, zest of ginger (light amounts!) and leaves of mint. Leave it in the fridge overnight, and you've got a healthy alternative to soda, and a reason to reuse water bottles. This is one of the things advocated by the Flat Belly Diet, as a soda substitute.

I hate my zits man!!!!!

Theres this hottie in school and I'm afriad to say anything to her cause I have freaking zits all over my face!!! Frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother used to get acne

My brother used to get acne all the time when he was little i was lucky enough to not have it but i had read in some other articles similar things to do to help prevent it you also have some others that i didn't know about he hardly has problems but i emailed him the article he is always doing what he can to keep his skin healthy. Taking herbs and supplements in general is something we both do but the costs now from stores like gnc are way to high to be able to buy all the ones we want so we started getting discount vitamins and herbs online and are saving a ton it really makes you think about the margin these stores are putting on their products. Thanks for the great info, acne is such a problem for a lot of people especially making them feel insecure about going out.
