You probably don’t know this yet but product wastes and toxic build up in your system is one of the main reasons why you have acne or why your skin breaks out.

You see, your body has 4 channels of elimination…your bowels, kidneys, lungs, and your skin. Your bowels and kidneys are the primary channels that your body expels product wastes and toxics through.

The only time that your body expels product wastes through your lungs and skin is when your bowels and kidneys are overloaded with product wastes and toxics or when your bowels becomes sluggish.

When this happens, your body will take some of the product waste and expel it through your lungs and skin (your secondary channels of elimination). Resulting in acne breakout.

However, you can prevent this from happening by increasing “fiber” intake. Fiber will absorb these toxins and product waste, and help your bowels sweep them out of your system fast.

So by taking enough fiber, you’ll be able to speed up your bowels transit time thus, preventing your body from expelling toxics through your skin and preventing acne.

So your next step is to start eating the type of foods that contains the highest amount of fiber.

What types of food contains the highest amount of fiber? Fruits and non-starchy vegetables.

Fruits such as apples, bananas, oranges, raspberries, and strawberries. And vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, parsnips, and potatoes. These contains the highest amount of fiber.

But this does not mean that you go out and eat as much of these high fiber foods as you can.

You should only consume enough so that your bowel transit time is between 12 to 18 hours. In other words, try not to consume too much fiber in day or else your transit time may be too fast causing nutrients to pass through your system without being absorbed. So if your transit time is under 12 hours, you may want to reduce the amount of fibers consume each day.

However, if your transit time is more than 24 hours then you really need to consume more fiber intake or else your body will start expelling these product wastes and toxins through your skin (resulting in acne breakout).

For me it’s about 32 grams of fiber a day but it may be different for you, so you should really test it out for yourself and see how much grams of fiber you should be consuming each day. It’s probably best to start out with 30 grams of fiber a day and go on from there.

How much grams of fiber does each fruit and vegetable contain? For the fruits I’ve listed above it’s about 3 grams each and the vegetables are about 2 grams each. However, I do recommend you consume more vegetables than fruits because fruits are high in natural sugar.

While consuming more fiber alone will not stop acne it can help in preventing acne. And that’s one portion of the pie in fighting acne.

Acne occurs when your body contains more toxins than your kidneys and bowels can remove. (Your kidneys and bowels are the two primary channels of elimination that your body expel toxics and waste products through.)

These toxics can be the accumulation of fat stored chemicals the liver can not wash out or there may be a problem with fat digestion, fat accumulation, food allergy, or even the accumulation of hormones that your body produces.

Once these toxics build up, your kidneys and bowels can get overloaded and 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 fat into usable energy for your body.

This means, your liver will be doing some of your kidney’s work. So now, your liver gets overloaded and it too will not work at full capacity.

What happens when your bowels, kidneys, and liver gets overloaded?

When that happen your body will expel toxins through your lungs and skin (your secondary channels of elimination). And this is when acne occurs. This is when your skin starts to breakout.But w

hatever the toxic source is that‘s causing this problem, acne is a sign that your bowels and kidneys are overloaded with toxins, waste products, or hormones.

It is a sign that your liver is growing weaker in its detoxification abilities (and it will continue to grow weaker if you do not do what it takes to get rid of the toxics in your body).

So if you think that acne is your only problem, think again, your liver, kidneys, and bowels are getting weaker every time you breakout.

We have all heard about the many health benefits associated with using vitamin C. What you may not know is that vitamin C can do so much more than just help fight off the common cold.

Imagine taking a shower without being forced to expose yourself to ever increasing levels of chlorine found in every drop of tap water maintained by your city. We all take showers in order to get clean and wash away offensive odors caused by bacteria and germs, yet we think nothing of exposing ourselves to toxic chlorine vapors intentionally added to our water to make it safe.

You may even say to yourself it is not big deal, since you are not actually drinking your shower water. However, did you know that chlorine can still be absorbed into your body through the pores of your skin or even inhaled directly into the lungs as toxic vapor? That is exactly right; during a warm shower the open pores in your skin can absorb six to one hundred times the amount of chlorine as you would by drinking that same water all day long. What is even more disturbing is the fact that the chlorine that gets absorbed through the skin goes directly into your bloodstream completely unchecked. At least when you drink water containing chlorine, the normal digestive process helps to remove or neutralize much of it.

OK, so you have finished your relaxing hot shower and are now squeaky clean, but you have also just absorbed enough chlorine to disinfect a small hot tub.

Now imagine taking a shower where all the chlorine has been automatically eliminated through the use of a shower filter. Then imagine this shower filter uses environmentally friendly vitamin C to get rid of the chlorine. You do not have to imagine anymore. There is a shower filter that uses nothing but pure, pharmaceutical grade vitamin C to completely eliminate the chlorine from your shower water. It is called the vitamin c shower filter and there is nothing else like it on the planet when it comes to pure chlorine destroying power.

The pure crystallized vitamin C used in these shower filters can effectively neutralize 100% of all free chlorine and chloramine in shower water. Free chlorine, and its very nasty byproduct Trihalomethanes (THMs), have been linked to several types of cancers and have even been shown to cause birth defects in humans under certain conditions.

The vitamin C used in these shower filters can neutralize free chlorine and chloramines by changing these potentially harmful disinfectants into harmless compounds. As an added bonus, there are no artificial additives or preservatives used with these shower filters. Only pure vitamin C is required to get the job done right.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has certain minimum standards set forth by the Clean Water Act. Vitamin C shower filters far exceed these minimum standards and requirements. And since we are dealing with pure vitamin C, you do not have to concern yourself with any adverse reactions occurring as is often seen with other types of shower filters that rely on exotic metals or sulfur based compounds. Using vitamin C to remove chlorine and chloramine from shower water is completely safe, environmentally friendly and extremely effective.

External applications of vitamin C directly onto the skin may also provide additional benefits. A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C reduces the formation of free radicals and helps speed the healing of damaged skin cells. It also has the amazing ability to help decrease the healing time of minor cuts, scrapes and scratches.

There has also been some promising news touting vitamin Cs ability to increase the production of collagen in the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. So, taking a shower with the vitamin C shower filter makes perfect sense with absolutely no downside anywhere to be seen.

Perhaps the best part of all is the fact that vitamin C shower filters require zero maintenance. Once properly installed, all that is needed is to replace the shower filter cartridge every few months to make sure you are still fully protected from the damaging effects of chlorine and chloramine.

Unlike most types of shower filters, vitamin C shower filters work extremely well in both hot and cold water and will not reduce your water pressure the least bit. Each vitamin c shower filter generally has a lifespan of around 6 months before needing a fresh replacement cartridge. Also, the vitamin C shower filter is compatible with all types of shower heads, including those expensive hand held units so popular these days.

That just leaves one unanswered question. Why have you still not tried the vitamin C shower filter?
