If you don't, your skin will continue to over produce oil to absorb vitamin d which is actually a hormone that increases testosterone and burns visceral fat as well. Fish oil and zinc also protect against acne. Oysters have high concentrations of both. We first evolved on the south cape of Africa where thousands of fossilized piles of shellfish lay right where our ancestors left them. We walked along the shore in the sun eating seafood. Our feet are soft because they were meant for sand. Our skin wrinkles when wet to gain a grip on slippery surfaces.

I did this test where I purposely got high because everyone knows your blood is more thin when you are high. The test works every time. when's the last time you've seen a gym guy break out. I don't suggest you do drugsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126453198011755679.post-54005181878810548972014-11-10T08:25:42.913-05:002014-11-10T08:25:42.913-05:00I think it's to protect the skin from bacteria...I think it's to protect the skin from bacteria and diseases that could be life threatening and in the process inhibit reproductive success. Acne might also deter the attractive mates by indicating that the individual has some sort of disease that could a<br />also harm them. But I think it's to protect the individual, specifically. I don't think it's to make the individual "ugly" to protect them from aggressive individuals but rather it protects them from diseases. Plus acne goes away after some time usually around the reproductive ages...where sexual activity is at it's highest. By the time people reach maturity, acne seems to be less of an issue and bares little to no problems in terms of establishing intimate relationships or pursuing sexual activity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126453198011755679.post-71097683883187703402014-01-02T04:03:13.066-05:002014-01-02T04:03:13.066-05:00Supposedly the peacocks tail had more to do with i...Supposedly the peacocks tail had more to do with indicating the presence of diarrhea (poor health) to a potential mate thus delaying mating until the nutritional problem is solved. My teen son breaks out every time he eats sugar candy or especially soda. Skin conditions (and hair and other appearances) are strong indicators of nutrition, deficiency and health. Healthy offspring occur during times of Nutritional abundance. Most hair skin and nail problems are affiliated with deficiency (vitamins d and b12) or poor/poisoned food supply (IE. High fructose corn syrup). Thus acne is just another useful health indicator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126453198011755679.post-61420622836423014792010-10-18T08:41:27.711-04:002010-10-18T08:41:27.711-04:00Alright!

I washed my face every morning but by the time I got to school (a 45 min walk) I was covered in sweat and dirt that sat on my face all day until I got home to shower. And yet, my face was better than ever!<br /><br />I think not having access to scrubs and exfoliating face soaps that we love so much here actually helped! And I believe in sweating! I think it helps clean out the pores regardless of the dirt that's on the service.<br /><br />To tie in the diet debate, I didn't eat as much sugar. Since getting back I've seen a correlation between birthdays and other sugary occasions and breaking out. So, I think, diet could also be a factor even for skinny people who break out if they eat a lot of empty sugar.<br /><br />Which all-together makes it seem like our evolution and "advancements" in skin-care, air conditioning, laziness, and food have encouraged acne. Maybe our skin-care products are still trying to evolve to take the place of sweating and a good diet...Erinhttp://lovelysundries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
