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.
