ARE YOU ADDICTED TO YOUR ACNE TRIGGER?

ARE YOU ADDICTED TO YOUR ACNE TRIGGER?
BY: NAWEKO SAN-JOYZ
an acne trigger is any thought, location,
feeling, food, emotion, response, drink, drug,
MEMORY AND/OR EXPERIENCE THAT SETS OFF A SERIES
of hormonal reactions in your body that
ultimately result in an acne formation.

if a food or drink is the culprit behind your
acne breakouts you may actually be addicted to
YOUR PREFERRED CULINARY DELIGHT. THE ALLERGY
addition could stem from the body's response to
frequently consumed allergens. during an
ALLERGIC RESPONSE, THE BODY RELEASES ENDORPHINS.
these endorphins in turn create the feeling of a
natural high. any substance that promotes this
FLEETING STATE OF EUPHORIA MAY BE ADDITIVE. SO,
you may be eating a food that you are allergic
to just to get high, and as an after blow, you
GET ACNE. OUCH.

surprisingly, eating a lot of any particular
FOOD, EVEN A "HEALTHY FOOD", CAN INCITE AN
allergic response. though still unexplainable,
the food creates an immune response and/or
STRESSES SPECIFIC DIGESTIVE ENZYMES. POOR
digestion can irritate the body in multiple
ways, generating an allergic response. one way
TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO A
certain food is to examine the foods your most
often crave. are you eating the food to
EXPERIENCE A GASTRONOMIC HIGH? FOODS CONTAINING
chocolate, dairy, wheat, corn, tomatoes, and soy
are common sources of food allergens.
