Vitamin E and C: Fighting Acne

Didn't I tell you we'd be going through the alphabet? I bet you’re glad now you don't have to spend all day at Whole foods or even GMC.

Now, what can vitamin E and C do for you and why is it important?

Vitamin E and C can actually boost the body’s immune system, which can help reduce the chances of infection. If you care to know, studies have actually shown that people who suffer from acne have a lower level of vitamin E in their blood.

Foods to eat (Vitamin E): found in vegetable oils, almonds, peanuts, soybeans, whole grains, and wheat germ, avocado and green leafy vegetables-especially kale. I actually made a blended kale and winter squash soup with a touch of natural salt... Amazing! Try it.

Foods to eat (Vitamin C): citrus fruit, strawberries, kiwi, cantaloupe, broccoli, bell peppers, brussel sprouts, cabbage, tomatoes, and potatoes.

I can admit it can be difficult to obtain such large amounts of these food and nutrients by having a normal diet so supplements may be useful.

Here's what to do. Take 500milligrams of vitamin C once or twice a day (daily). Take 200 to 400 international units (UI) of a natural source of Vitamin E once daily.

Take another deep breath, because vitamin B is next.
