Constipation and Acne
Did you know that constipation can contribute to the formation of acne in adults?
A bowel movement is one way the body naturally eliminates toxins.
When constipation occurs, toxins in the body accumulate and leave the body in other ways – including through the skin by sweating.
Unfortunately, this can also compromise the integrity of the skin, resulting in blocked pores and acne.
To relieve constipation, increasing the consumption of fibre is vital. If you don’t enjoy eating bran cereals, some of the best and tastiest forms of fibre come from fruit, particularly unpeeled apples, pineapples, and apricots. And don’t forget to drink an adequate amount of water daily, since fibre comes in both soluble and non-soluble form.
