Dietary Treatment of Acne

 Whether you have adolescent or adult acne, you can find respite by following a specific natural diet.

Many of the foods that we consume are not a human's natural food in an evolutionary stance. Your body treats all unnatural foods, to a certain degree, as a foreign substance. This creates more work for your body to 'detoxify'. One of the signs that your body shows when it is burdened by toxins is acne.

Acne may show up on the face, neck, upper arms, and back most commonly. All types of acne can be treated by following a natural diet, as closely as possible. The time it takes to notice improvement varies from days to months, depending on how burdened your body is and how long it takes you as an individual to detoxify and reach a more natural state.

The most common 'trigger foods' for acne are milk and all dairy products, wheat and most grain products, and sugar (speaking here of refined cane sugar).

Avoiding these foods is usually not enough to completely remove acne, however. Most people need to eat the most natural diet for humans to completely control and eliminate acne.

Imagine yourself out in a natural world with only the clothing you are wearing. You have no stores, no farms, no tools, and no way to make a fire. What could you eat, without tools and without fire? This scenario is how humans developed and the food you could pick and gather is the natural diet that your body will most readily accept. All other foods, those that require special tools or cooking are not meant for you.

All animals in nature have a prescribed diet, whether carnivores (flesh eating), herbivores (greens eating), frugivores (fruit eating), or omnivores (eats all or a mix of diet). Each animal is equipped with a body designed to acquire and eat its prescribed food. Lions are fast, have claws and sharp teeth, and relish flesh foods. Some birds that eat grains are light to perch on plants, have beaks adapted to harvest grains, and special stomachs to grind the grains while whole and very hard. Think of bees, anteaters, cows, and any other animal. Each has a natural diet and any other diet may sustain life but not give optimal life. Life with acne is not optimal life.

Humans are designed to eat certain foods. You would be hard pressed to eat most grains without cooking them. Potatoes straight from the ground would be pretty unappetizing. Could you go out and bring down a deer with only your bare hands? Even with tools (or if you could just use your hands), would you dig right in and eat a raw, bloody deer, entrails and all? Would your child naturally kill and eat a rabbit, milk a cow, or tear down a beehive and eat it? What is a human's natural diet?

Most people that study ancient humans and nutrition agree that the most natural diet for people appears to be a diet high in fresh fruits, nuts, vegetables, and greens. A small amount of meat and eggs is probably acceptable and natural, although whether this is ideal or not is debatable. All foods eaten in their fresh, raw state is much healthier and easier to digest than cooked food. This is how your food would be found in nature and is your evolutionary diet key to optimal health.

If followed for the large majority of time, this natural human diet will effectively reduce the amount of toxins consumed and allow the body to detoxify from its previous diet. Acne will disappear and skin will look radiant, younger, and require hardly any care at all. All the creams, lotions, toner, cleansers, etc will be useless to you with a natural, flawless complexion and naturally healthy skin.
