This blog describes my fight against acne using nutrition. I have had acne since I was about 16. I recently received some information from my friend's guru nutritionist. He told me that I will need to eat right. This means NO sugar, gluten, alcohol or caffeine. I will need to reset my immunsystem by drinking lots of water, eating more vegetables, EFAs, caproyl, and probiotics.

Clearing up
Recently, my skin has been getting a lot better. I have a clearer complexion and I feel larger pimples shrinking. I started taking more apple cider vinegar (two TBPS, twice daily), D 53 Acnex, and I have been getting more sleep. I think all 3 have been crucial to improving my skin, but I want to emphasis sleep. Over the past month, I noticed I have not been getting as much sleep as I should. Some days I would get up at 5am and go to bed at 10:30pm. This lack of sleep would leave me feeling physically fatigued during the day. I felt i the worst after this weekend. I ended up getting a total of about 10 hours of poor quality sleep and I felt like shit on Monday. Also, when I am talking about sleep, I am talking about the waking up drooling sleep. Which means that it not only does it need to be ~8 hours of rest, it needs to be quality sleep. I find it difficult to get this kind of sleep often. It is too easy for me to not be comfortable while I sleep. I toss and turn, because I am experimenting with new sleeping positions (I am a belly sleeper trying to convert over to a side sleeper) or I have to get up to use the restroom in the middle of the night.
