Dear Friend,

As the Father of Medicine; Hippocrates once stated: “Let your foods be your medicine, and your medicine your food”

It will be an understatement to say he is correct and had I known of this during my close to a decade of marring acne and sheer waste of money on so-called acne products, perhaps my life-at that time-would have been much happier.

Well, now that I do know, with the staggering number of acne patients left (last time I stumbled on the number, we are talking 50 million plus people folks!), I feel the least I can do is inform, or better still, remind the public of this simple discipline towards acne treatment, naturally and permanently.

I can boldly say, starting today, if you suffer from acne and want to see it gone, like I did so many years back: You have to stop eating acid-forming/disease forming foods. In lay-man terms: Junk and processed foods and drinks. How did I figure this out? Well, at the time I was a Michael Jackson fan and had read in some books on him that he as well as Jermaine, his brother, suffered from severe acne as teens but were able to control it with a change in their diet, from the Standard American diet to a healthier vegetarian one.

Needless to say, I swore off junk food as the first step towards a successful acne treatment and started doing my own research to validate this claim and indeed, that suggestion is correct. “You are what you eat!” is a saying known all over the world, and what you consume has arguably the most effect on your overall health. Now since the skin, according to Dr. Stanley Burroughs, is the second most important eliminating organ, it only makes sense that what is consumed should not leave a detrimental residue to aggravate skin eruptions.

Moreover, all processed and junk foods and even foods of the animal kingdom, tend to not only constipate the visceral organs, but they poison the blood, which my friends aggravates the other causes of poor health like stress, insomnia and the like. Remember, blood DOES flow through the brain. No one is saying that other factors like losing a job, death and the like don’t still exist. Far from it, but from an internal point of view, you have to make the effort to change your diet for not only acne treatment but overall improved health and fitness.

That said, herein lies a suggestion for a successful treatment of acne conditions. No, I’m not a religious fanatic but hey the Creator cannot be wrong folks: “Every herb bearing Seed and ever fruit bearing see in it shall be yours for food. Gen 1: 29″
Okay, I’ll break it down, for a successful acne treatment, eat more (if not exclusively)
Fruits and vegetables. Of course they are best enjoyed raw and organic (if possible), but can be also relished properly cooked. (So don’t steam with excess water and by all means AVOID THE MICROWAVE-trust me I know what I’m saying)

Also, for external acne treatments ensure that you change the pillow-case nightly if possible, sleep on the right side (face clearly off the pillow), avoid harsh chemicals, avoid positioning your face underneath a shower (especially when it’s hot)…this for 2 reasons-doing so introduces harmful chlorine into your lungs and from my experience, aggravates acne by drying out the skin and consequently suggesting to the dermis that it needs to produce more oil than needed to re-lubricate it.

You may want to pick up facial massaging or simply washing the face with cool water.
In addition, it doesn’t hurt to occasionally steam your face. Try using boiled DISTILLED water though for the same reasons on avoiding Chlorine inhalation above.

Now, you try this for a week and I bet you, you will see a drastic improvement in your skin condition via this superior, yet common sense method of acne treatment.

Sincerely,

Foras Aje

PS: It’s been fun writing this, but I want to add…throw in a fast or a restricted fruit diet of a seasonal Juicy fruit for just 3 days with the external factors above. You will thank me that I told you this…trust me.

Acne is that irksome, soul destroying affliction which presents itself usually when we approach adolescence and which can continue well into our adult years - sometimes persisting for a lifetime for an unfortunate few. The frustration and embarrassment caused by this malady transposes into a never-ending search for the best acne product to help alleviate the problem.

Needless to say, the condition of acne is something shared by almost everybody at some time in their lives and, as would be expected, the number of products on the market is legion; because of this it can be very difficult to find just what may be the best acne product for you personally. The problem is that everybody is different. You may have a normal skin type, dry or even oily, as this will have some bearing on what type of product and treatment may be suitable for you.

In the search for the best acne product it just boils down to trial and error. Products should be chosen with your particular skin type taken into consideration and you may have to search considerably until you find success. Another thing to be aware of is that you may come across a product that will have an adverse effect so care must be taken: the last thing you want is to seek remedial treatment for a worsened skin condition.

In your search for the best acne product you may come to the decision that there is no one product that stands out. Perhaps a combination of one or more products may be best for you - again trial and error will tell. There are certainly plenty to chose from and some treatments include prescription products (which normally would have higher concentrations of the various ingredients) and various other products which can be bought at the local drug store without prescription. The best acne product can include face peels, exfoliants, washes and even make-up to help tone down existing conditions.

Alongside the various medications the very best acne product starts with your own daily regime of skin care. The skin must be kept scrupulously clean in order that bacteria are kept at bay. It is not recommended that spots and pimples be squeezed or picked as this may lead to permanent scarring which usually cannot be removed. Far better to prevent such condition than try to remedy it afterwards. Even with the most meticulous care of your skin, eruptions will still appear but by diligent attention to skin cleansing these can be kept to a minimum.

Now a word of caution; always bear in mind that all acne products bought over the counter contain chemicals and can have disastrous results if used on the wrong skin types. Before embarking upon any remedial action using these products it is strongly advised to check with your medical practitioner and follow any advice given. Your complexion is very delicate and any harmful results from inappropriate medications will decidedly show up. Certainly, facial scarring is something to be avoided at all costs.

To sum up; the best acne product is a combination of your own scrupulous attention to skin cleansing together with one or more of the products that work for your skin type. Once the correct combination has been found you may be one of those fortunate people who go through adolescence without the constant embarrassment suffered by many others due to acne - surely the dream of many an adolescent.

Do you really want to lose weight and get rid of extra body fat forever? If so, which is the most convenient and effective method to achieve permanently weight loss? Do I hear you say by taking weight loss pills or diet pills?

Well, by taking weight loss pills or diet pills may be convenient for you to lose those unwanted body fat, it certainly is not effective if you want to lose weight permanently. I am sure many of you have already tried taking weight loss pills and once you stopped taking them, your weight starts to creep up on you again didn’t they? That is frustrating and an awful waste of money isn’t it?

There are many types of weight loss pills and diet pills in the market. Some of these pills will curb your appetite, some supposedly speed up your metabolism and some are supposed to prevent your body from absorbing too much oil from your diet or restrict absorption of carbohydrate. But they all have one thing in common. Once you are off the pills, you will put on weight again. Therefore taking weight loss pills or diet pills are only temporary solutions. They do not condition your body to burn unwanted fat forever. On the contrary, your body may even adapt and resist the effects of the pills making you waste even more money and causing you more frustration.

So what is the best solution for permanent weight loss? Well, just do these 3 things:-

• Build Muscle - The more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn. So when extra calories are being burnt everyday, over a period of time, you would have burnt off massive amount of calories. Furthermore, you will look good with a well toned body and your posture will also improve making you look even slimmer. That means you are a calorie burning machine when you have more muscle.

• Change Eating Habit - Eat your carbohydrate early in the day and restrict carbohydrate consumption later part of the day. This will help your body to regulate insulin level and reduce the chances of carbohydrate turning into body fat. Also avoid starchy carbohydrate and refined carbohydrate like white rice, refined flour foodstuff like cakes and pastries, white bread, pasta etc. Replace these with high fiber and slow to digest carbs like brown bread and brown rice. Carbohydrate turns into body fat quickly if digested too fast.

• Exercise Your Heart and Lungs - Go for regular exercise and perform exercises that will make you puff, pant and sweat such as jogging, skipping or take part in ball games. These activities not only improve your heart and lung health, they also burn massive calories.

When these 3 activities become part of your routine, you will be burning extra calories every day. That means you will not put on weight easily and will lose body fat forever. Best of all, it is free. So why spend money on temporary solutions like weight loss pills and diet pills?
