Food And Nutrition To Stop Adult Body Acne Breakout

People sometimes don't believe there are certain foods and eating habits that help your body fight acne. This is not just about teenage acne it's also about adult body acne breakouts!

It's true there are certain foods that you really should cut out of your diet even if you're an adult. Those foods give acne a foot hold over your skin and you really don't want acne to have any hold on any part of your body!

Let's start with breakfast.  

Because breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day

I strongly urge everybody to eat a hearty balanced breakfast everyday. I know you don't have time but I still urge you to try because breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day.

OK with that said, let's start with the foods that most of us eat for breakfast which should be eliminated or at least eaten as a treat more than as a staple of this meal. These foods are: Pop tarts, sugared cereals, corn syrup on your pancakes, waffles and french toast, soft fatty sausage links, soft fatty bacon, bleached flour, granulated sugar, jellies and jams made with fructose corn syrup, coffee, chocolate and any breakfast food that has artificial ingredients.

Sounds terrible! What are you going to eat for breakfast?

I know it sounds awful, but really it's not so bad. Instead of your instant cereal in a box, buy millet, rice bran, and rolled whole oats. Cook as directed, and for sweetener use 1 tablespoon of 100% real maple syrup, and cut up an apple or a handful of blueberries to mix it in. Another option is to make some eggs any style, with some breakfast meat. I suggest turkey sausage, turkey bacon, or ham, something lean. Use olive oil and do not fry your foods in lard or in the meat drippings! Fry up some of the leftover pot roast, and mix it with your eggs, then have one piece of whole grain bread for toast.

I've given you a selection and options for changing your nutrition. You say, I don't have that kind of time in the morning to cook. OK, then drink your breakfast, and take five minutes to make yourself a scrambled egg sandwich minus the butter. Spread some vitamin E oil or olive oil on your toast instead of butter.

Drink your breakfast? Yes, drink your breakfast. Here's some ideas, juice some acne fighting fruits and vegetables. Two very good juice recipes for fighting acne breakout are, carrot celery lemon juice or cucumber endive pineapple juice. You'll be surprised at the good taste and the increase in your energy levels too.

So let's summarize your acne fighting breakfast foods: millet, rice bran, whole rolled oats, whole grain breads, eggs, lean meats, cucumbers, lemons, apples, blueberries, carrots, endive, and pineapples.

I'm sure you can find all types of breakfast nutrition combination with that list of foods you've just read, but just in case, here are a few ways to sneak in your waffles and french toast. Fresh pineapple waffles with lemon, french toast or pancakes (made with whole grain flour), sweeten with real maple syrup, hot oatmeal with apples and maple syrup, cold millet and rice bran cereal with milk and maple syrup, turkey bacon and eggs, a turkey sausage scramble with whole wheat toast, toast and apple butter, apple sauce and oatmeal, and how about a fluffy ham and green pepper omelet.

All of these will fill you up and at the same time help your body fight acne breakouts.

Lets do lunch 

A meal that many of us skip

This is a meal that many of us skip and really it's a bad idea to skip it! Instead, skip the fast food takeout places all together or at least 6 days out of the week. Brown bag it and save those take-out places as a treat, an indulgence.

Skip the cola drinks and pops, and put those chips aside for the football game only.

So now what? You've taken all the food I eat for lunch away!

Well, that may be so, but you want to get healthy skin and get rid of that acne breakout, right? I thought so! Your going to have to brown bag your lunch, Fill it with a salad made with cucumbers, roast turkey, romaine lettuce, a squeeze of lemon, or maybe a sandwich with whole grain bread grilled with olive oil, served with lettuce, ham, and a slice of tomato.

And for that thermos, fill it with carrot lemon celery juice or carrot apple ginger juice. Now, instead of the twinkie or ding dong, eat a nice ripe juicy plum, pear, a hand full of blueberries, or mango. And once a week treat yourself to a fast food hamburger and fries or a slice of pizza, but only once a week! You still have to have some things that are just plain fun!

Let's recap the lunch acne breakout fighting foods for clear younger more radiant skin! Whole grain breads, olive oil, roast meats, romaine lettuce, lemon, all ripe fruits and berries, celery, carrots, and ginger.

Remember, making your lunch is easy, and it helps you fight the dreaded acne breakouts! So brown bag it! It's as easy as filling your lunch pale with the power of nutrition to rid your body acne!

Now for supper or dinner 

It's dinner time!

For the last big meal of the day, read your labels! Frozen dinners can be very healthy, but again you want to stay away from artificial ingredients, bleached flours, added sugar, loads of fats. In other words save the frozen pizza for the world series or a birthday party. Roast or grill rather than pan fry. Easier to clean up and easier on you.

Fix the roast the night before, and have the first person home throw it in the oven and set the timer. By the time you get home, you'll be able to take it out and have a healthy nutrition rich meal in minutes.

I say roast rather than pan fry, because roasting not only seals in the flavors, but also the nutrition, while at the same time reduces the bad fats. Always put a rack under any fatty meats so the drippings can be disposed of easily and the meat doesn't sit in the grease.

If you really must have pizza, you might want to bake a homemade pizza made with whole grain flour and yeast, topped with lean turkey pastrami, some turkey sausage, a few slices of Canadian bacon or honey roasted ham.

Just before serving, add a few slices of fresh pineapple. Another suggestion is a pot roast with mashed potatoes, carrots and asparagus.

Blanche the asparagus, and don't tell anybody but save the water to wash your face with before you go to bed. It makes a wonderful facial wash for acne! Eating asparagus will help your body fight acne.

Sprinkle some amaranth on the your dinner, and serve some roasted garlic as an appetizer, or spread it over a whole grain baguette.

Serve a Caesar salad and don't forget the egg. You might ask why eggs and garlic? They are both rich in sulfur, an active agent that fights bacteria.

Another way to cook your meat is to grill it, and grilled vegetables are just de-lish ! Serve green beans, or for that matter any kind of beans, with the exception of refried beans that have been fried in lard. Vegetarian refried beans are OK.

So let's recap the acne fighting foods for dinner:

Asparagus, amaranth, garlic, lean meats roasted not fried, eggs, romaine lettuce, dandelion leaves, potatoes baked, boiled or mashed potatoes, carrots, beans and legumes, green beans, and all ripe fresh fruits and berries.

This opens the door for you part time chefs out there to learn the fine art of roasting again and not to overcook the asparagus, green beans, or dandelion leaves.

It's a great idea to use food and nutrition to help you fight adult body acne or any acne breakout and have clear, younger more radiant skin.

It's a healthy way to eat as well!

To prevent acne breakout in the future... 

Here are the foods you want to avoid

To prevent further body acne breakout, here's a list of foods you might want to avoid.

This list includes fatty foods such as donuts, fast food, high fat dressings, high fat meats, foods made with bleached flour, such as white bread, many cakes, cookies and biscuits.

Avoid things made with white granulated sugar, most types of desserts and ice creams, things made with fructose corn syrup, most brands of jellies and jams, most breakfast syrups, candies and chocolate need I say more?

And remember avoid take-out and fried foods.

Foods you want to eat are:

Meats that are roasted to perfection, lean meats for sandwiches, and salads.

Eat sweet juicy ripe fresh fruits and berries of all kinds, asparagus, green beans, carrots, garlic, beans or legumes of any kind, potatoes, and whole grains.

This includes whole grain breads, cakes, cookies and biscuits. Use olive oil and vitamin E oils as a spread in place of butter and/or lard, and don't forget brown rice.

It's import to remember to indulge a little. Once week go out and treat yourself to some of those things that have the "bad" in them.

If your eating the right foods 6 out of 7 days, the wrong foods 1 out of 7 days won't hurt your skin at all. You don't want to deprive yourself, because that just might lead you to a binge and that will allow acne a foot hold on your skin.

Just don't over indulge. Think of the food to avoid as the once a week indulgences, and the foods that fight acne, as your weekly staples, and you'd be surprised at how much easier your acne can be controlled.
