OK, so may be that is a bit of an exaggeration.
An apple a day doesn’t REALLY keep acne away.
… Or does it?
Let me not mince words here and give it to you straight.
The fact of the matter is that eating right is a large part of being acne free. I know you don’t necessarily want to hear this, but eating fast food a couple times a week and eating pizza every other day is not going to help to get you acne free.
We all know that eating healthy is important for all kinds of reasons. Staying acne free is just one of them.
In some ways, acne is a creation of the modern food industry. Processed foods wreak all kinds of havoc on our health. The food industry puts a ton of sugar and fat in all kinds of things. Why? Because it is cheap and because it is what people want. Why? Because people have been conditioned to believe that it tastes good.
There didn’t use to be as much sugar in, for example, bread. But over time it has become sweeter and sweeter. Used to be that sugar was rare and expensive. So people didn’t use it much. Now you can find it everywhere. And it is not even real sugar. It is high fructose corn syrup which is cheaper and easier to use. No wonder it is used so much by the food industry.
So, to get back to the apple: If you really would be eating an apple a day, chances are that your other food choices also would be healthier. If you eat an apple a day, maybe you also eat more veggies and salad. Maybe, just for today, you let the pizza pass you by. Maybe the sum total of all the better choices you make, will in fact make you heatlhier over time. And so, starting with an apple a day, you will indeed keep your acne away !
