How a Sluggish Digestive System Can Cause Acne
The digestive system is instrumental in breaking down foods
into amino acids, fatty acids, sugars and glycerin so it can
be transported into the blood stream and ultimately be utilized
by the body to perform its functions. In a sense, the body is
the machine and the engine is the digestive system. The machine
is solely dependent on the fuel or the nutrients extracted from
the digested food in order to efficiently drive the body.
This is the most important function of all organs included
in the digestive system. It is useless to eat the best food
in the world if your digestive system does not work properly.
A sluggish digestive system may be pointed as the real cause
of many skin disorders and skin diseases such as eczema, boils,
acne and even body odor. All these owe their existence to a
malfunctioning digestive system.
The nourishment of the body and over-all health relies on
the good reduction of food elements in the digestive tract into
useful components. The failure of the digestive system to do
this may result to over fatigue and stress, as well as 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 ultimately destroying
the whole body.
Also, a sluggish digestive system may be due to lack of Hydrochloric
acid which is essential in digestive processes. The following
are reasons that will affect the level of Hydrochloric acid
in the stomach:
• attacks of P. helicobactor
• excessive intake of junk foods
• lessened nutrient intake
• excess dietary sugar and fats
• hypothyroidism
• malfunctioning adrenalin glands
Several diseases are associated with hydrochloric acid depletion
which includes adult acne and many other serious diseases and
skin disorders like arthritis, fatigue, muscle cramps and multiple
skin allergies.
Long term use of antibiotics may also cause the depletion
of HCL in the stomach. Acne can be a manifestation of an impaired
immune system which may be due to the reaction of the body to
the excess chemicals found in antibiotics. The impairment of
the immune system and sluggish digestive system may both contribute
the flaring-up 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.
Normally, antibiotics are prescribed for typical and minor
ailments. in doing this, the bacteria in the body that are causing
the infections will develop immunity to specific types of antibiotics.
Antibiotics may suppress the many symptoms of ailments in the
body, they may hide the existing problems but in return they
are weakening the immune system, thus aggravating the condition
of the skin disease.
Studies have established that diet plays a vital role in
acne production. This is the reason why people in the countries
who are not following Western diet have fewer cases of acne
outbreaks on serious levels. Western diet is generally less
healthy than those followed in the East.
There are three processes that are necessary to sustain the
ideal level for human health:
1. Appropriation- or the process of taking in food items,
fluids, chemicals.
2. Assimilation- or the processes involved in absorbing the
nutrients extracted from the food taken.
3. Elimination- or the processes of excreting or expelling toxins
and body wastes.
