IS ACNE INFLUENCED BY DIGESTION...

Optimizing digestion is one of the key elements in getting rid of acne. There are a few simple changes you can make to your diet to help improve digestion and complexion.

Amylase, is a enzyme secreted in your saliva in response to eating carbohydrates. Its job is to break down carbohydrates on the way to the gut. Amylase is only active in an alkaline environment and is destroyed by the slightest acidity.

Pepsin is an enzyme secreted in the stomach and is produced in response to eating protein. Its job is to help break down protein. Pepsin is only active in an acidic environment and is destroyed when exposed to an alkaline medium.

While the body will produce digestive juices and enzymes specific to the foods that are eaten, it is unable to do so when a variety of foods are eaten at the same time.  For optimal digestion, proteins should only be combined with non-starchy vegetables and leafy greens. The same goes for starches. Combining protein and starches at the same time causes digestive problems and should be avoided. Approximately 90% of digestive problems occur due to improper combining of food, which imposes a demand on the digestive system for both an acid and alkaline environment.
