Heal my gut

Healthy gut = balanced hormones = healthy skin

I am reading a lot about "hormonal imbalance" and I am also researching about ways on how I can prevent hormonal acne.  Because recently, it was getting worse.  "Worse" because, people noticed it already.  I panicked.  Never would I want to experience acne again. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

In my researches I have learned that there is really a food/zit connection.  That, I also need to have a healthy gut.  That's the key,

I realize that I need to cut down my sugar, carbs, caffeine, dairy intake.  It helps that I am not too fond of cheese and milk BUT I love brewed coffee, butter and cream based food and sweets.... and sweets... and more sweets.... have I mentioned sweets?

All the stuff that I love to eat and to drink (coffeeeee), I must avoid?  Yes, coffee triggers acne as stress does.  I am avoiding both.  Tea has caffeine but it's a healthier choice.  I also try to get as much sleep as I can.  I need 6-10 hours.  I am taking Vitamin C again.  So far, so good. We'll see when the red days kick in.

And soon, I hope to get back to running and yoga.  Those really helped me in the past to lose weight.  I just hope to find time again.

The cure asks for a complete overhaul of diet and lifestyle.  Anything for healthy skin, I will do.

I can do this (100x).  Repeat.

Here are some of the readings that I find helpful.
