Are You Addicted To Your Acne Trigger?
An acne trigger is any thought, location, feeling, food,
emotion, response, drink, drug, memory and/or experience that sets
off a series of hormonal reactions in your body that ultimately
result in an acne formation.
If a food or drink is the culprit behind your acne breakouts you
may actually be addicted to your preferred culinary delight. The
allergy addition could stem from the body's response to frequently
consumed allergens. During an allergic response, the body releases
endorphins. These endorphins in turn create the feeling of a
natural high. Any substance that promotes this fleeting state of
euphoria may be additive. So, you may be eating a food that you are
allergic to just to get high, and as an after blow, you get acne.
Ouch.
Surprisingly, eating a lot of any particular food, even a
"healthy food", can incite an allergic response. Though still
unexplainable, the food creates an immune response and/or stresses
specific digestive enzymes. Poor digestion can irritate the body in
multiple ways, generating an allergic response.
One way to decide whether or not you are allergic to a certain
food is to examine the foods your most often crave. Are you eating
the food to experience a gastronomic high? Foods containing
chocolate, dairy, wheat, corn, tomatoes, and soy are common sources
of food allergens.
