Water and Acne:

"You seldom read about it anywhere but I'm sure that all pimples, acne, body growths, warts, liver spots, bumps, etc. are because one doesn't drink enough water." —Kerry

I don't recall reading about how much water one is supposed to drink per day until I was 32. I may have read it. I might have been told it. But it sure didn't sink in.

Then, when I did read that I'm supposed to drink eight (8) eight oz. glasses of water each day, I said to myself "No way." That's a lot a water. Heck, I'd be peeing all day.

Here's the poop scoop:

You eat all sort of stuff. Animals are fed penicillin and hormone pills, and goodness knows what else; vegetables are sprayed with pesticides, and food is prepared with a long list of chemical ingredients written on the back of the box.

Your liver helps you process certain things. It removes the toxins and sends them to your kidneys and you pee them out.

Now here's the biggie. If you aren't drinking enough water throughout the day the toxins find other ways to get out of your body. Guess how? Through your fecal matter and, your skin. 

Another thing I didn't know was that our skin takes in (absorbs through osmosis) toxins.

For example: If you change your car oil without gloves the petroleum based chemicals go into your body through the skin cells by osmosis. If you use soap that has oils in it, small amounts of the petroleum end up inside your body, again by osmosis.

Partners of people who don't eat meat most of the time will swear that the odor from their partner's perspiration changes when they eat meat.

If you don't help flush out the toxins with water so that they exit through your fecal matter and urine you leave your body no choice but to push the toxins out through your skin. You don't read it anywhere but I'm sure that all pimples, acne, body growths, warts, liver spots, bumps etc. are because one didn't drink enough water.

The bottom line:

1) Each time you pass a water fountain take a drink (not a sip but a full 8 ounces).
2) The first thing each morning, even before eating, is flush the toxins out by drinking a full 16 oz. glass of tap water. The task of gulping down 16 oz. at one time requires intention. The time it takes to drink the full glass is the time to reaffirm your intention to help your body so the toxins don't have to come out via pimples and acne.
3) If your pee is dark yellow or smells foul you're not drinking enough water. Clear/light-yellow is best.
