You probably don’t know this yet but product wastes and toxic build up in your system is one of the main reasons why you have acne or why your skin breaks out.
You see, your body has 4 channels of elimination…your bowels, kidneys, lungs, and your skin. Your bowels and kidneys are the primary channels that your body expels product wastes and toxics through.
The only time that your body expels product wastes through your lungs and skin is when your bowels and kidneys are overloaded with product wastes and toxics.
This can happen when you’re not drinking enough water.You see, water is the main carrier of nutrients throughout your body and is quite possibly the single most important contributor to healing and preventing acne flare-ups.
Drinking enough water will dissolve waste products in your system so it can be easily remove and flush out. Without enough water, there won’t be much to dissolve these product wastes and toxics…causing it to build up in your system and causing your body to expel these product wastes and toxics through your lungs and skin.
And this can and will result in acne breakout.
How much water should you be drinking each day to dissolve product waste and flush out toxins from your body?
The general rule of thumb is to take your weight in pounds, divide it by 2; this is the approximate numbers of ounces per day.
I say, you should drink only enough to see that your urine is mostly clear, which is probably much more than what you’re drinking now.
But I wouldn’t recommend you going overboard because drinking too much water will also flush out electrolyte minerals out of your system (which is not good).
Test!
Start by drinking 7 glasses of water a day for the next 2 to 3 days. (7 x 8 ounces = 56; or approximate weight 112 pounds) If you see that your urine is clear then 7 glasses of water a day is what you should be drinking. If you see that your urine is kind of yellow then you should add another glass.
