Greasy Foods & Acne

September 19th, 2009

When I was 19, there was a period of time during that year that I was forced to eat chicken with my hands for about four months straight.  The reason was that I was living in New Zealand, and living amongst many Polynesian people, and they love to chicken.  They were so kind and courteous, and they loved to feed me chicken, and often they would take me to KFC.  I love KFC just as much as anyone, but I noticed that due to the greasy nature of the chicken, I started having zits all over my face, from failure to wash my face properly.  I noticed that many young kids in New Zealand also had problems with zits, and I am sure that in some way, the rampant eating of chicken led to such problems.  

I wouldn’t even suggest giving up eating chicken with your hands, but I would highly suggest not only washing your hands after you eat, but a thorough washing of the face could really help as well (while your at it brush your teeth for it never hurts).  This shouldn’t he held to just chicken, but also any other greasy food that we happen to eat with our hands as opposed to just eating with utensils.
