Healthy Eating
by Anyone know what foods are good for clear skin and what foods to stay away from?
My back has been broken out for like two years now. I've always thought it was just stress but things have been pretty good lately and no luck. I'm just thinking I need to change my diet.

i think carrots help
It's stress. I hate stress.
haha distress stinks.
wait have you ever heard of anyone who likes stress? LOL now then again I hate stressful people like all those herb wannabes.
I had a job that gave me the right level of stress. I haven't used this expression in years, but I was 'on point' at the stress level there. I miss that job, it was a blast.
haha well some stress is good for you like the kind where you exercise and stuff. However its really bad when you have to listen to someone with a screechy voice and you have to look at how hideous they are such as that 22 year old bald guy from NJ who looks like hes 69 and has one of those voices that sounds like he swallowed a cockaroach and is in terror.
I know that guy! He's dead sexy.
I was trying to think of a way to articulate this. I feel the same way about my current job. It's always stressful, because if one person messes up it messes up and slows down the whole operation. So, everyone has to be on-point. Still, if it were LESS stressful and less fast paced it would be VERY boring.
So basically you look like a Gremlin that got splashed with water. LOL....
No, I've determined it's all stress related. It completly cleared up when I was in Hawaii and slowly started coming back when I came back to work.
I've got to get out of here.
enough with the informatives.
I thought of something (well patrick reminded me, really.)
Buy some windex!
I'm not Greek!
oh! pick me! pick me!
stop. you're not greek either. you're omega. like, essential fatty acids or something. i learned about this in health. you're sometimes found in fish and nuts.
jew dun't know me mang, jew dun't know me!!
Run an experiment. I noticed my decreased intake of sugars and starches (yeah the carbs again) cleared up my skin pretty noticeably but this might have been also because of my routine run
Oh and I ate plenty of oily foods at the time
BOTTOM LINE, EVERYTHING WE EAT, ON AVERAGE, IS BAD FOR US!
...the end result, everything having been considered is...
haha, exaclty....case closed....90%of our generation's food intake is saturated w/preservatives, red#3(not to mention yellow #7), MSG, and all kinds of other HORRIBLE substances that are de-healthing all of us as we speak
even the fruit! All those stupid pesticides
I'm kind of allergic to MSG.
me too! i get so sick
My dad kind of is too. When ever he has msg he starts sneezing and can't stop. It's really wierd.
so you can't eat...DORRRIIITOOSS??
doritoes have MSG in them? i thought that was chinese food?
yeah...chinese food...and..dorritos..lol
are u lieing to me? i'm very gulible... thats not very nice...
go get a bag of dorritos...
if you see Mono Sodium Glutamate in the ingredients...then...there ya have it
whoa, i have been educated...bryan go mark yourself as informative. you deserve it.
haha, thanks frest!..i'll return the favor...whenever you say something intelligent i shall do the same for you
guess ill never see informative by my posts...
how many narcassits does it take to screw in a light bulb??
ONE..just to hold it...and the rest of the world revolves around her...
hey!!
hahaha as soon as i posted that joke and put "her" at the end, i thought "forreste is going to take this the wrong way" and then suprise, you did, but i wasn't being mean, just repeating a new joke i heard.
i'm in this networking group every thursday morning at 7 AM at the coach diner in hackensack, i hate it, today i was like half an hour late b/c i overslept and then there was snow and ridiculous traffic, but, anyway, there's a drawing eevry week for a small gift and this week i finally won! i've been going forever and i never win! and i won two joke tapes. and i was like "waht's a tape?" but then i remembered i had a tape player in my new(er) car, so i popped it in, and that joke was on there. it's a pretty funny tape. it even has some "Your momma is so fat/ugly/etc" jokes
my favorite is "your momma is so fat, when her pager goes off, people run away, b/c they think she's backing up!"
why is this marked as informative??
who cares!
you two are just ridiculous. IWZ! look at what foreste and melody are doing!
now dan there's no need to whine. bryan found something deep within my post and thought that i deserved to wear blue!
All doritoes or just certain kinds?
Yeah..two of my most favoritist foods. For a long time we had to go to chinese food places that specifically did not use MSG. But I've started to grow out of most of my food allergies so I'm okay most of the time. If not..I just get a bit nasally. Hah..no I just get a bad headache.
MSG is yeast-more specifically 'autolyzed yeast'. so watch for anything w/ that too.
and wat would autolyzed yeast be?
it's a way they process yeast so that it makes a salty flavor. they use it to flavor food.
Who would have thought when we were growing up you would become an expert on yeast. lol
Yeah well Janine is our resident yeast expert you have a question about yeast you go to janine.
right, so at this point it's not 'what is bad for us?' the question would be 'what is better for us?'
A scientist I once worked with loved fighting with me on this issue stating it was bad for me to eat a daily salad because of the pesticides and chemicals used. I responded that everything was unhealthy for us just about, heh then told him my salad is healthier than that plate of french fries and pizza he was eating.
pesticides can also be washed off. grease on french fries and pizza - can't really be rinsed.
well i never washed the inside of a banana before :) produce does absorb somewhat...
but you can buy organic vegetables and fruit (reminds me of the awake about farming talked about this) that is supposedly chem free
Not entirely just anything that has been touched by man or is anywhere near man.
well, yeah, exactly..&...everybody born within the last 25 years is more affected by artificial foods than any other generation - fast food - caffine FILLED drinks - junk food - all a major part of all of our diets...
Yeah that's for sure.
those caffeine drinks are reeeeeally bad for you....like red bull
really?..just how bad..like...gona get cancer in 5 years bad..or...gona start losing your hair next month bad....all'a your teth are gonna fall out bad
Actually I think its more like ashey teeth bad. lol
no, its bad for your heart. And, it causes addiction...caffeine is a drug people
buy cheap soap and use it on your back. The lack of mosturizing will dry out your back and help fight the breaking out..
Ok, if all else fails, I'll get you some skin-clearing stuff from Avon.....at a discount, just 'cause I'm nice. But try the foods first....it's probably healthier. :)
Yeah, I'm trying to avoid that stuff. It's hard to put stuff on your own back.
get a loving elder to do it. or an older one of the hall. or even your mama.
Oh man he just said jo mama.
lol why is it embarrassing when elderly people put like stuff on your back?
dude you gota stop rubbing pizza on your back
dude. ignore all this. take my advice. really.
1. get a back scrubber. this is a good thing.
2. if it's not a sweaty thing (ie your back is always sweaty), it's your diet, or a hormonal imbalance.
3. top 4 acne causers - chocolate. oily foods. soda. (esp. colas). red meat. (i know. you'd never think of it.)
4. make sure your back is dry before you put on a shirt. i know, it sounds odd. wear a tee shirt under your normal shirt, too.
1) have one
2) not a sweaty thing, think it's diet, hence the post
3) red meat and soda are the big culprits i have
4) it always is
I really think it's just my diet, I think I need to change things. Is caffeine a cause too? And I don't, or very rarely, eat chocolate.
yo. you need to drop the coke PRONTO. i am not kidding. for every time you go to drink something dark colored (soda - tea - coffee) get some water. water is like an internal shower.
if you drink a lot of coke, you should think about getting more calcium too, because coke has the opposite effect as milk
Yeah...I've had my dentist tell me not to drink soda TONS of times. It's basically like pouring sugar all over your teeth, if you think about it. Not healthy.
yeah, i did a science project on this for chem. It's almost as bad as coffee for the enamel on your teeth
coffee is really bad for staining, i hate scraping that stuff off. and sugar drinks(and sugar gum)are bad too-the sugar lays on your teeth and then the acids in your saliva attack the sugars AND your tooth enamel to cause cavities. drinking out of a straw and chugging instead of sipping all day long helps a lot.
sorry, i don't know much about back acne
i drink my coffee through a straw! it's hot, and it seems pointless, but i do it anyway!
It actually depletes the vitamins that are in your body. The stuff is horrible for you. It's just drains your body of other vitamins like vit-C. That stuff will kill you. Anything that can eat through metal can can't be good.
our generation's average diet is freakin horrible, ours is the ag of 13 year olds dying of heart attacks....our nutrition intake is so much less than like every generation before us - fast food that like clogs your arteries while you're eating it, soft drinks that are basically liquid-sugar, it's sick
Yeah that is defenitly true. All the processed food with all the chemicals in them horrible stuff.
here are some recipes: http://www.acne-advice.com/products/books/tucsp/sample_recipes.shtml
Cool, finally an excuse to buy a juicer!
dont sleep neked in mudd.
I thought mud baths were good for clearing out your pores?
they are. why don't you try changing your laundry detergent and change the shower gel you use to take a shower. those could be the major factors
also take horsetail vitamins, its good for skin, hair and nails
The rest of my body is grand, and beautiful!
I like the smell of Tide and have been using it for years before this happened. I guess I could swtich to Oil of Olay, I like it better but it's expensive. I forget what body wash I currently use.
i swear by my dove. do you drink a lot of water? there are like insane amount of toxins in our bodies nowadays. maybe you should go on a cleanse diet.
I know I need to drink more water. I get home delivery too and it's like I don't even drink it.
How much water should I drink per day? I'm lucky if I do 8oz a day now. That's so pathetic.
8 oz/8 glasses a day. you can drink tea, but not flavored or with sugar and that can count also
Yeah, I always have sugar in.
I think I'm going to do a few days of just water.
Drin k your tea the way I do plain. People think tea plain is bad I can't seem to figure that one out.
More information I never needed to know. Bah!
taking the vitamin (or maybe it's a mineral) zinc is supposed to help clear your skin up. I take it, just because it can't hurt.
Oily and greasy foods tend to make people break out that I know for sure. That was my nephews problem.
and they say chocolate, though i've heard otherwise as well
yeah no chocolate, it's like loaded with bad stuff that makes pimples or something
