Properly Functioning
Digestive System & Acne
Combat Acne From Within!
The digestive system is involved in breaking down foods into
amino acids, fatty acids, sugars and glycerine so it can be
transported into the blood stream and will eventually be utilized
by the body to perform bodily functions. In short, we can
say that the body is the machine and the engine is the digestive
system. The machine would have to depend on the fuel or the
nutrients extracted from the digested food to operate the
body.
The digestive system is one of the most important functions
in our body. It is useless to eat the best food in the world
if you have poor gestive system. A slow digestive system may
be the real cause of many skin disorders and skin diseases
such as eczema, boils, acne and even body odour.
The overall well-being of our body depends on the good reduction
of food elements in the digestive tract into useful components.
If our digestive system fails to do so, it might cause us
over fatigue and stress and the production and fermentation
of body toxins which may give rise to skin diseases, including
acne. If this condition stays unresolved, other body systems
may be severely affected and eventually destroying the whole
body.
Also, a slow digestive system may be due to lack of Hydrochloric
acid which is important to the process of digesting. Here
are some reasons that will affect the level of Hydrochloric
acid in the stomach:
- Attacks of P. helicobactor
- Excessive intake of junk foods
- Lack of nutrient
- Excessive dietary sugar and fats
- Hypothyroidism
- Malfunctioning adrenalin glands
There are some several diseases which are associated with
hydrochloric acid depletion, such as adult acne and many other
serious diseases and skin disorders like arthritis, fatigue,
muscle cramps and multiple skin allergies.
Long term reliant of antibiotics may also cause the depletion
of HCL in the stomach. Acne may be a manifestation of malfunction
of immune system which may be due to the reaction of the body
to the excessive chemicals found in antibiotics. Both of these
reasons could flare up the outbreak of acne. Since skin is
the largest organ in the body, it provides the outlet for
internal toxicity and chemical imbalances in body tissues
and organs.
Usually, antibiotics will be prescribed for typical and minor
ailments. By doing this, the bacteria in the body that causes
the infections become immuned to specific types of antibiotics.
Antibiotics may suppress the ailments in the body, but they
may also hide the problems but in return they are weakening
the immune system, thus aggravating the condition of the skin
disease.
Studies have established the fact that diet has an important
role in acne production. This is why those who are not following
Western diet experience fewer cases of acne outbreaks on serious
levels. Western diet is generally less healthy than the Eastern
diet.
To maintain ideal level for human health, here are the necessary
processes:
1. Appropriation- the process to take in the food items, fluids,
chemicals.
2. Assimilation- the processes to absorb the nutrients extracted
from the food taken.
3. Elimination- the processes to excrete or expel toxins and
body wastes.
