Water and Acne - A Vital Link
The body is a complex
and unique machine which needs water to function properly.
Attention to your water intake is a small price to pay for the
benefits received.
The vital need for water extends to most of the major systems of
the body if they are to function correctly. Skin loses water every
day through perspiration. The lungs require two glasses of water
each day. The small intestines also need water to function
properly - the lack of it may be a factor in faulty elimination.
Your kidneys - the most important organs in the body's elimination
system - use large quantities of water daily to carry out waste. |

About 12% of your skin is made up of water, so water is a relevant
factor in your skin’s health. The correct fat/water ratio helps
your skin from getting acne. There is controversy over whether
water should be distilled or not, there are arguments for and
against using distilled water.
Personally, I filter mine and seem to do OK on it.
Most of us do not drink enough water. Many people falsely use
thirst as a criterion for taking water, this is not a good
indicator - thirst is the first indication that you are
de-hydrated and in serious need of water. Water should be drunk at
regular intervals whether you have a desire for it or not.
You need an absolute minimum of 1 quart of water per day,
preferably more towards 2 quarts, most of us can stand more.
If you currently drink less water than this, start increasing the
quantity until you are at a beneficial level.
Drink More Water
This helps remove these dreaded toxins from your blood. The more
water you drink, the more you urinate, the more toxins are washed
away. Clean blood promotes clear healthy skin.
Use glass containers when buying water. If possible, avoid plastic
water containers as plastic contains chemicals which leaches out
into the water.
Your smoothies and fresh juices will contribute to your water
intake but sodas do not.
Here are a few tips. Find a 16 or 32 oz glass container and fill
with (distilled) water. Then add one of the following nutrients:
* A few drops of Alkalife. This activates the water with its
electrolytes (sodium and potassium). Great, but not only that, it
changes the water pH from a 7 to an 8!
* Don’t like the taste of water? Squeeze the juice of one lemon
into the water. No sweeteners but a little honey is OK.
* To the lemon water you could stir in up to one teaspoon of
powdered MSM. As MSM softens the cells it makes the skin more
flexible and permeable so nutrients get through easier. Other
benefits to MSM are that it is anti-inflammatory and it also
activates peristaltic action, preventing constipation.
Any one of these natural additives in your water will contribute
to real improvement in your skin. Drink this water all day long,
every day.
Your skin loves natural light and fresh air. Natural light helps
skin to heal faster. Do not over expose your face directly to the
sun but 30 minutes outdoors during daylight hours is necessary for
your vitamin D requirements.
You could also introduce some
essential fatty acids to your
diet to help clear up your acne.
