Nutrition


For Skin:

tl/dr: The best diet advice in dealing with acne appears to be eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, healthy protein sources, and whole grains

Hydration is an easy step I always miss :'(

Reduce Inflammation:
- the mineral zinc
- vitamin A and E
- chemicals called antioxidants

Skin-friendly:
- yellow and orange fruits and vegetables such as carrots, apricots, and sweet potatoes
- spinach and other dark green and leafy vegetables
- tomatoes
- blueberries
- whole-wheat bread
- quinoa
- beans, peas, and lentils
- salmon, mackerel, and other kinds of fatty fish
- nuts

Vitamins:
Vitamins A and E low levels of vitamins A and E seem to be linked to severe cases of acne, people with acne may be able to lessen the severity of their acne by increasing their intake of foods containing these vitamins.

Antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids Omega-3s are a type of fat found in certain plants and animal-protein sources, such as fish and eggs. Antioxidants are chemicals that neutralize damaging toxins in the body. Together, they are thought to reduce inflammation. Studies largely support the connection between an increase in consumption of omega-3s and Antioxidants and a decrease in acne.

So anyways, what I'm hearing is I need to eat more whole grains and fish.

For Weight:

Don't drop to low or go too high I guess.

Personal

I struggle with my perception of myself, so I can't say what an ideal body type would be for me. I cannot be my own critic because I do not see myself. If I don’t know who I am, how do I fix myself?

Why must I put in work to be healthy and sane… #whocanrelate??
