I used to have a red face with lots of pimples.
I didn't understand why, as I ate a really healthy diet, was regular,
was extremely healthy in other ways besides my skin. Anyways, I
remembered that when I was in college, I had great skin and I also took
evening primrose oil supplements. I didn't want to take them again, so
I tried adding more olive oil to my food. I listened to my body and it
usually told me to consume 1 or more tablespoons of olive oil. I also
ate spinach. After doing this for a while, I notice that my skin has
brightened and the pimples have decreased or gotten smaller. Most of
the redness is gone.Acne was the cause of the inflammation.
This was interesting as I was already an avid consumer of almonds and
pistachios. But apparently, the kind of essential fatty acids you eat
is important. Those nuts have Omega-9's, but olive oil has Omega-6's.
Spinach has Omega-3's. Your body can generate Omega-9's from other
EFA's, but you need to consume the 6's and 3's.
