Acne can be reduced by your body's elimination channels

By Sam Smith

Kidney

The purpose of the kidneys is to filter the water in your blood as the blood passes through them. The kidneys filter about 4 gallons of water every day but only around 3 pints are purged out as urine. Consumption of too much alcohol and sugar will damage the kidney since they kill kidney cells and weaken the kidney functions.

To keep toxins from accumulating in the body and skin, human body requires water. Consumption of clean water daily will allow kidneys to remove toxins and excess nutrients, vitamins and minerals from the blood. When you consume plenty of water the skin does not have to act as a filter to extract excess waste from the blood, as it done by your kidney and passed as urine.

In fact, water keeps the skin moist. Skin layers with enough moisture in them helps to keep away the bacteria and toxins that try to penetrate through skin. Fresh fruit juices, fruits and vegetables can be taken instead of water. Remember, drinks such as sodas and drinks with sugar are not water!

Lungs

As you breathe in air, the two large sacs in your body called lungs extract the oxygen and passes on to the blood. This in turn gets routed to your liver and moved into your heart and then moved to all parts of the body. As you breathe out, waste and carbon dioxide are pushed out from the system through the mouth.

Body movement is largely depended on energy. The required energy is produced by cells using oxygen. The oxygen in your body will also neutralize toxins, pathogen and waste.

Oxygen in the blood is used by cells to create energy for you to live by. We also know oxygen helps in cleaning out your system. So when your body contains more toxin, pathogens and acid waste, more oxygen used up in neutralizing them. As a result not enough oxygen is available for the cell and other body parts to function.

If your bodys other elimination channels are weak and overloaded, the lungs will have to pickup the job of eliminating the toxic waste from the system and eventually will be overloaded as well. As a result more waste stays in the body, making it more toxic, acid and susceptible to disease and infections.

Weaker lungs, kidney and liver functions will lead to skin disorders, such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, etc.

Lymphatic System

The toxins within the cells are moved out by liquid call lymph. This liquid flows through a combination of large and small tubes, which is part of the immune system, called Lymphatic system. Also, the lymph liquid brings in the nutrients from the blood to the cell. The removed toxins from the cell will be moved to the lymph nodes and then gets passed on to the blood to eliminate through other channels.

When the lymph liquid is weaken, detoxification of toxins in your system fails. In order to maintain strong lymph liquid, it is recommended to consume enough fruits and vegetables since they are composed of electrolyte minerals such as potassium, sodium calcium phosphorus and chloride. Electrolyte is essential to stop the buildup of toxic waste accumulation in the lymph liquid. Elimination of skin disease such as eczema, acne and blemishes largely depends on strong lymph liquid. - 15252
