For years doctors have been telling us that eating junk food doesn't cause acne, and you probably know at least one person who eats candy and chocolate non-stop and still has lovely skin. But recently the medical establishment has begun to give serious consideration to how what we eat impacts our health, and our appearance.
One of the most prominent spokespeople for this cause is Dr. Nicholas Perricone, whose “Wrinkle Cure” system touts salmon as a skin-saving miracle food. What started as a fringe trend–eating fish to get a smoother face–has now blossomed into a popular diet plan, and millions of men and women have given it a go. Even Oprah has sung the praises of this pink-orange fish on her talk show. What's the reason for the popularity of the so-called salmon diet? Simple: it works.
Many people think that applying toothpaste on pimples as an effective home remedy for pimples, does it really work? It really depends on the chemicals in the tooth paste. Your skin can have a really bad reaction or it could work. And not all acne medications work the same way for everybody. The best acne medications for some people may not work at all for others. This is just the way it is, that's not restricted to acne medications.
Some toothpastes contain ingredients which can help get rid of pimples, but can actually irritate or burn the skin and sometimes provoke skin allergies. Since there are so many other solutions out there, this should be a last resort.
Eating a diet chock full o' vitamins and nutrients has forever been fundamental to health, but now clinical research demonstrates that there could be a link between drug dependency and dietary insufficiencies. Carolyn Reuben, a nutrition expert (and the executive director of the Community Addiction Recovery Association in Sacramento, CA) believes that our bodies often respond to certain dietary inadequacies in a way that may in the end result in psychological troubles and/or addiction.
She and other nutrition experts view deficiency in omega-3 fish oil as part of the cause. Based on a person's substance of choice or major ailments, Reuben says researchers can pinpoint which amino acids, vitamins and nutrients are insufficient.
