How The Kidney, Lungs, and Lymphatic System Keep You Acne Free

The kidney

The purpose of the two kidneys is to filter the water in your blood as the blood passes through the kidneys. About 4 gallons of water are filtered every day but only around 3 pints are pulled out as urine.

Alcohol and sugar are the most damaging to the kidney since they kill kidney cells and weaken the kidney function.

Water is the major way the body keeps toxins from accumulating in the body and skin. You need to drink plenty of clean water daily so the kidneys can remove toxins and excess nutrients, vitamins, and minerals from the blood.

When you drink plenty of water, the skin does not have to act as a filter to filter out excess waste from the blood since it is been filter and excreted, as urine, by your kidney.

Water also is needed to keep your skin moist. Water in the skin layers helps to protect the skin from bacteria and toxins that try to pass into your skin.

The more fresh juices you drink and the more fruit or vegetables you eat, the less water you need to drink. All juices contain plenty of distilled water, which contributes to your daily water requirement.

Drinking sodas and other drinks that have sugar cannot be counted as water.

The Lungs

You have two large sacs that are called your lungs. As you breathe in air, the lungs pull oxygen out of the air, which is captured by your blood, routed to your liver, moved into your heart and then moved into all parts of your body.

As you breathe out, waste and carbon dioxide are pushed out through your mouth.

Your cells use oxygen to create energy for you to live by. You need energy for every movement your body does. Oxygen is also used to neutralize toxins, waste and pathogen. The more toxins, acid waste and pathogens you have in your body, the more oxygen is used up to neutralize them. This means you will have less oxygen for cell, organ and other body functions.

If the other elimination channels are weak and overloaded, the lungs will also become overloaded trying to get rid of toxic waste the other channels cannot get rid of.

When your lungs become overloaded with toxins or become weak, more waste stays in the body, making your body more toxic, acidic and susceptible to disease and infections. If you have kidney weakness, liver weakness, lung weakness mostly likely you will have skin disorders like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and many other types of skin disorders.

Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system is part of your immune system. It consists of a series of tubes, large and small, that cover your entire body. Through these tubes flows whitish liquid called lymph. Since this system does not have a pump, the lymph is pushed through the tubes by your body's movement or exercise.

Lymph liquid surrounds all of your body cells and is responsible for bringing nutrients to your cells from the blood and to move away toxins that come out of the cells.

Toxins and pathogens that are in your lymph liquid are moved into lymph nodes. In the lymph nodes, this toxic matter is neutralized into harmless chemicals and then moved into the blood and are eliminated through the other channels of elimination.

Don't Damage Your Skin With Chemicals - Use Blue Light Instead!

I was taught the same "facts" about acne that you might have been told. Wash your face, stop eating all those chocolate bars, and candy and other junk and apply that bad smelling acne cream to get rid of your acne. Well, that advice did not work for me then and it still does not work for me now. There is hope, however. New tech. advances mean that we do not have to burn the acne off our faces with harsh creams anymore. There are better ways to fight acne.

One of the new weapons in our arsenal are these new devices that use blue light to cure acne. Blue light is emitted at a specific wavelength (another way of saying specific color) to kill acne. This amazing technology was discovered by NASA. Originally, they were experimenting with ways to grow and stimulate growth of plants. Scientists discovered that the nasty little bacterium responsible for acne would absorb light in the blue range of the spectrum, heat up and die.

After that discovery, companies designed portable, easy to use devices that emit blue light designed specifically to kill acne. These devices use blue LEDs which are solid state light sources that have an extremely long life so you can use them for a really long time and not have to worry about replacing them. Another side benefit is that they are very durable and won't break if dropped.

Using the blue light device is easy and painless. You simply put the device on your face where you have the acne you want to get rid of. Most units have a timer that takes the guesswork out of it. When you are done, the unit beeps and you can move on to another problem area. Just a few minutes a week will greatly reduce your acne without chemicals and other nonsense.

Acne creams and ointments can help some people who have very severe acne. For people with severe acne, doctor's visits and harsh creams may seem to be the only way to get relief, but even in extreme cases, doctors are now looking to laser resurfacing and other treatments rather than using harsh chemicals. Most of us do not have acne to this degree. Mild to moderate acne can now be treated much more safely with devices which can be used in the privacy of our own homes. Since they are long lasting because of the solid state light emitting devices, the overall costs are lower than traditional treatments. There are many benefits to using light. If you are still using harsh chemicals to cure your acne, stop using them and visit our site. You will be happy you did.
