身体哪儿有病？脸上的痘痘告诉你

John, who is a practitioner of Chinese medicine, believes that acne can be the result of multiple factors ranging from stress, diet, dehydration and allergies - but is primarily caused by hormone activity.

约翰是一名中医从业者，他认为粉刺能由多种因素导致，像是压力过大、饮食不当、摄入的水分不足或是过敏，但主导因素确实荷尔蒙活动失调。

FOREHEAD

前额

“Eating less processed foods and reducing the amount of fat in your diet can help, as these negatively influence the digestive system.

“(前额长痘的话，)少吃点加工食品，减少饮食中油脂的摄入会有所帮助，因为它们对消化系统不好。

This can be alleviated by ensuring you drink plenty of water, and get between seven to nine hours of sleep every night, to give enough time to help flush out any digestive imbalances.

要想缓解前额的“痘势，你得确保自己摄入足够多的水分，每晚保持7至9小时的睡眠，使你的身体有充足的时间排出未消化的物质。

CHEEKS

脸颊

When looking at acne conditions that seem to target the cheeks, he believes that stress is the main cause, along poor lifestyle choices.

当约翰的病人集中在脸颊部分长粉刺时，他认为压力是主要原因，不良的生活方式也许是辅因。

'Acne conditions across the cheeks are problematic and this can be a result of stress to the respiratory system,' he explains.

他解释道：“在脸颊上长粉刺表明出现了问题，这也许是因为呼吸系统受到的压力过大。

He adds: 'Keeping the body more alkaline by increasing the intake of green vegetables and wheatgrass, as well as reducing meat and dairy could help combat this problem area.'

他补充道：“增加绿色蔬菜和小麦草的摄取能让你的身体保持较高的碱性，同时少吃肉类和奶制品的话，脸颊长痘的问题会有所改善。

MOUTH AND CHIN

嘴和下巴

John explains that this is predominantly due to hormonal changes and stress.

约翰称嘴和下巴长痘主要是因荷尔蒙波动或是压力过大。

He advises: 'You must allow the body to function properly, without treating it as a machine, and always remember that adequate sleep, relaxation, hydration and eating a balanced healthy diet can help keep skin looking energised and healthy.'

约翰给出他的建议：“你不能把身体当机器使，一定要让它适度运作。你得牢记充足的睡眠、放松、水分补给以及均衡健康地饮食能帮助皮肤健康有活力。

NOSE

鼻子

John claims that it is toxins, 'excess hormones, dietary bio products, free radicals', that cause inflammation and acne.

约翰称鼻子上冒粉刺或发炎，可能是身体内有毒素、“荷尔蒙分泌过盛、摄入太多膳食生物制品或体内自由基过多。

But there are certain dietary improvements that can be made to up the overall quality of the skin...

然而人们可以通过饮食来调节改善整个肤质。
