The struggle we have of trying to rid ourselves of pimples and acne can be a very frustrating struggle. Especially since they eventually turn into scars that generally become very unsightly over time. This tends to play havoc with our self-esteem.

In addition, our young people, and I'm talking about our sons and daughters, face continual hardship when their acne is really bad.

Depending on how well a child has been nurtured and prepared by their parents, even a mild case of acne can bring a surprising reaction from the child.

Acne is the most diagnosed skin disorder in the United States. Let no one kid you, we are dealing with a monster here. It is a serious problem and we should treat it as such.

Our primary approach to curing ourselves of acne must come from the area of our diet. Did you know that prior to 1950, Canadian Eskimos, up to that point in their history, never had acne?

Is that startling? Well how about this? When so called 'modern food' was introduced into their diet, along came acne. I didn't say that all efforts should be focused toward the diet. I said that our primary approach should come from the area of our diet.

Acne And Pimples

Blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, infected sacs and cysts. We've been told countless times about the sebaceous or oil glands and how they get clogged. Then bacteria multiply, and along comes inflammation.

Did you know that some people, a very few though, have acne all their lives? How bad is that? In spite of all that, there is hope! Acne comes because of the things you do, and the things you don't do. Let me explain that.

When you eat too much meat, eggs, denatured flour, and white sugar, something inside of your body has to go awry.

On the other hand, when you do not eat the more wholesome foods like fresh vegetables, whole grains and fruits, the body doesn't get enough of the foods that it does need.

How often do you get a bath? So you take good care of your outer body. How often do you bathe your inner body? What am I talking about? No one can wash and bathe the inner body? I beg to differ.

When was the last time that you ate an apple? An apple washes and scrubs the inner body just like Mr. Clean does on the commercial. The old clich' that an apple a day keeps the doctor away may be time-worn, but it's true.

The action of an apple working on the inside of the body is truly amazing. Eat plenty of fruits. They wash, bathe and cleanse the inside of the body. The more natural the fruit is, the better it is for you.

Only eat store bought canned fruits when you absolutely cannot get fresh fruit. Always wash your fruit before eating, and soak dried fruit, prunes and apricots.
