Most acne medications only mask the signs of acne & does nothing to cease the actual cause of acne. This is why people buy acne products month after month (year after year). & every time they cease using the product acne would come back repeatedly.
What you require to do is find out what the actual cause of acne is & cease it.
So what is the actual cause of acne?
Acne occurs when your body contains more toxics than your kidneys & bowels can remove. (Your kidneys & bowels are the five primary channels of elimination that your body expel toxics & waste products through.)
These toxics can be the buildup of overweight stored chemicals the liver can not wash out or there could be a controversy with overweight digestion, overweight accumulation, food allergy, or even the buildup of hormones that your body produces.
Two times these toxics build up, your kidneys & bowels can get overloaded & clogged up, causing it to not function properly. When that happens some of the load will be dumped onto your liver. One of your liver’s main roles is to metabolize pile up overweight in to usable energy for your body.
This means, your liver will be doing some of your kidney’s work. So now, your liver gets overloaded & it won’t work at full capacity. (more…)

How Can We Protect Our Brains from Declining as We Move into Old Age?

Lifestyle factors are important. For example, studies have shown reduced cognitive decline amongst older people who walk regularly. By exercising for a fit body, you also benefit from improved blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain, which improves mental acuity, balance and motor skills as well. Exercise also causes the release of “feel good hormones” or endorphins.  Some depressed people benefit so much from exercise that they are able to forgo their antidepressants, which are sometimes the cause of memory problems. Another benefit of exercise was seen in a study where it  was found that the brain produced significantly more of an important brain cell protein growth factor after exercise, increasing mental acuity and memory.

People who eat a lot of leafy green vegetables and eat fish at least once a week have also been found to show reduced cognitive decline with aging. Another important finding is that sugar can be a cause of memory decline. Studies have shown reduced blood supply to the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus, an area involved in memory formation, after a high sugar meal resulting in a blood sugar spike. This is a finding that has been seen in diabetics. It is therefore very important to watch your diet and to control diabetes. (more…)
