身體哪兒有病？你臉上的痘痘都知道

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.
約翰是一名中醫從業者，他認爲粉刺能由多種因素導致，像是壓力過大、飲食不當、攝入的水分不足或是過敏，但主導因素確實荷爾蒙活動失調。

FOREHEAD
前額

“Eating less processed foods and reducing the amount of fat in your diet can help, as these negatively influence the digestive system.”
“（前額長痘的話，）少吃點加工食品，減少飲食中油脂的攝入會有所幫助，因爲它們對消化系統不好。”
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.
要想緩解前額的“痘勢”，你得確保自己攝入足夠多的水分，每晚保持7至9小時的睡眠，使你的身體有充足的時間排出未消化的物質。

CHEEKS
臉頰

When looking at acne conditions that seem to target the cheeks, he believes that stress is the main cause, along poor lifestyle choices.
當約翰的病人集中在臉頰部分長粉刺時，他認爲壓力是主要原因，不良的生活方式也許是輔因。

'Acne conditions across the cheeks are problematic and this can be a result of stress to the respiratory system,' he explains.
他解釋道：“在臉頰上長粉刺表明出現了問題，這也許是因爲呼吸系統受到的壓力過大。”

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.'
他補充道：“增加綠色蔬菜和小麥草的攝取能讓你的身體保持較高的鹼性，同時少吃肉類和奶製品的話，臉頰長痘的問題會有所改善。”

MOUTH AND CHIN
嘴和下巴

John explains that this is predominantly due to hormonal changes and stress.
約翰稱嘴和下巴長痘主要是因荷爾蒙波動或是壓力過大。

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 dietcan help keep skin looking energised and healthy.'
約翰給出他的建議：“你不能把身體當機器使，一定要讓它適度運作。你得牢記充足的睡眠、放鬆、水分補給以及均衡健康地飲食能幫助皮膚健康有活力。”

NOSE
鼻子

John claims that it is toxins, 'excess hormones, dietary bio products, free radicals', that cause inflammation and acne.
約翰稱鼻子上冒粉刺或發炎，可能是身體內有毒素、“荷爾蒙分泌過盛、攝入太多膳食生物製品或體內自由基過多。”

But there are certain dietary improvements that can be made to up the overall quality of the skin...
然而人們可以通過飲食來調節改善整個膚質。
