Even the ancient sages very accurately noticed that human health is completely dependent on the products that he uses. But lack of time or simply not understanding how to eat properly leads to many diseases. The body is overloaded with slags and can no longer remove all the "garbage" through the excretory system. And then it begins to throw out toxins through the largest organ - the skin. Rashes, acne, acne, allergic reactions and such a serious disease as psoriasis appear. The pegano diet was developed specifically to combat similar manifestations, it has proven itself well, since with the exact observance of the patient gets rid of skin problems.
Basic principles
This popular and effective diet was developed by the famous Dr. John Pegano. He claims that all skin rashes are directly related to the excess of toxins and toxins in our body.

To stop this process and bring your skin in order, you need to completely change your usual diet. A person should consume as many foods as possible, which form an alkaline environment in the body (70-80%), and afford only 20-30% of acid-forming ingredients. Such a diet will allow you to quickly cleanse the body of poisons and toxins and thereby restore the normal functioning of the excretory system.
Where to begin
Pegano nutrition involves a person passing through several important stages. It is such integrated measures that will help to achieve maximum effect. At the very beginning of the "path", the doctor recommends a mono-diet that will relieve the body. For this diet, vegetables and fruits are suitable. Choose for yourself: 3 days you can eat any citrus or green apples, or eat any favorite fruit for 5-6 days. At this stage, the doctor recommends that you help your body as much as possible and carry out colonotherapy or do daily cleansing enemas at home. And so that the chair becomes regular, take 2 tbsp. l Refined olive oil in the morning on an empty stomach.
