A Good Digestive System and Acne
The food we eat is broken down by our digestive system into amino acids,
simple sugars, fatty acids and glycerin so that it can be distributed
through the blood stream. In other words, it can be said that the machine
of our body is dependent on the engine of our digestive system which
turns the fuel (food) into energy to drive the body.
This is the most important function of any body organ as all other
organs are dependent on this "fuel" to work efficiently. You may eat
the best food in the world, but if your digestive system does not function
properly then it's useless. Many skin problems are caused by a sluggish
digestive system. Acne, boils, eczema, psoriasis and body odor all owe
their origin to the malfunctioning of digestive system.
The nourishment of body and health rely on the proper reduction of
food into useful components. The failure of the digestive system to
do so not only results in fatigue but also fermentation and production
of toxins, which then give rise to many diseases, including acne. If
unresolved, it eventually affects our whole body and other systems as
well.
In digestion processes, a presence of Hydrochloric acid in the stomach
plays a vital role. A decrease in the level of this HCL causes a sluggish
digestion process. There are many reasons that affect the amount of
HCL in the stomach. They include attacks of P.helicobactor, eating junk
food, decreases in nutrient uptake, excessive dietary fat and sugar,
and weakened functioning of adrenalin glands and hypothyroidism.
There are many diseases associated with the depleted level of HCl.
This includes adult acne among other serious problems like arthritis,
muscle cramps, fatigue, multiple food allergies, etc.
Low levels of hydrochloric acid are also caused by long term use of
antibiotics. These antibiotics impair the immune system too and both
these conditions contribute in flaring up of acne. Since skin is the
largest organ of the body, it often reflects toxicity of imbalance present
in organs or tissue. Acne, whether adult acne or adolescent, is an indication
of a sluggish digestive system and an impaired immune system.
Nowadays, antibiotics are prescribed for any minor ailment. In doing
so, many infection-causing bacteria have developed immunities to certain
antibiotics. antibiotics are suppressive in nature. They hide problems
and can damage and weaken the immune system. This in turn leads to digestive
problems and worsens the condition.
The skin is a barometer of whatever is going on inside the body. It
directly reflects the weak immune system and toxic digestive system.
Dry, blotchy, flaky or spotty skin is a sure indication of these conditions.

Acne can be eliminated by understanding the root cause of bad skin
conditions. Acne is closely related to diet, which is proven by the
fact that this skin disorder is predominantly a Western problem and
people in those countries which do not follow a Western diet are not
troubled by acne on a serious level.
For human health, three processes are necessary: Appropriation (taking
in food, water, air etc.), assimilation (absorbing nutrients) and elimination
(expelling waste or toxins). If any of these three processes become
unbalanced, that leads to less than perfect health. If the digestive
system ( which does the work of assimilation) gets sluggish due to various
reasons, then waste products may be expelled through the skin as blocked
pores and acne.
There are many factors which affect the digestive system, both internal
and external, such as stress, which might cause indigestion, nausea,
vomiting, gas and diarrhea. Stress can cause damage to digestion which
results in bad skin conditions. That is why people suffering from acne
are advised to avoid stress in their daily life.
Weak digestive systems fail to create enough hydrochloric acid which
in turn affects liver function. The liver is responsible for processing
toxins and once liver functions are affected, toxins start accumulating
in the body tissue and organs.
Liver malfunction also gives rise to another problem. It creates glandular
problem which results in hormonal imbalance. hormones play an important
role in the development of acne, and this surely ends worsening the
acne condition.
