Dietary Advice

A number of skin problems have a nervous origin or are connected with allergies. In my own clinical experience, I find that itching skin is commonly related to coffee, oranges and grains, especially bran.

The problem of allergies is very complex and if you suspect that allergies may be the cause of you acne, I would suggest visiting your natural practioner to determine and to treat it. As a general rule try to avoid all refined, processed, packaged, canned, bottled and frozen food and allow minimal intake of fats, oils, meat, nuts and seeds.

One of the best skin cleansing juices can be taken two times a day – it’s a mixture of juiced celery, carrot and green bean with a little parsley or watercress added. This juice mixture works as cleanser, removing toxins from the body. Also adding fresh sprouts, especially alfalfa and fenugreek to your salads or sandwiches will speed up cleansing process.

Include a wide variety of raw and steamed vegetables and raw fruit in your meals. Have a high-fibre diet with a range of whole grains including buckwheat, millet, oats, brown rice and rye, instead of having wheat everyday. Use lentils and dried beans and have fish as a good protein choice.

If you are vegan or vegetarian, seek professional advice to ensure you are getting adequate protein and other essential nutrients in your diet.

Take one capsule or one teaspoon of Lecithin per day - It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and helps with regeneration and renewal of skin cells.
