The absolute best food for acne

The best food for acne... it's definitely a close race.

Well let's name the candidates: lemons, salmon, garlic and broccoli.

Lemons have a ridiculous ability to clean out your system of any junk and alkaline your body at the same time. They help fight infections, promote regeneration and have a lot of Vitamin C.

Salmon contains fats that regularize the body and have anti-inflammatory effect. In fact, wild salmon is probably one of the best building blocks I can think of and is very highly recommended for acne sufferers.

Garlic has strong antibiotic properties and helps boost your immune system to new levels, unfortunately it produces a horrible smell and will be disqualified for this.

Broccoli is often overlooked as its effects aren't as apparent as the others, but consuming fresh broccoli on a daily basis does wonders for acne.

We already concluded that garlic was out of the question, lemons is a fruit and is hard to consume raw.. it's much better in a lemon juice form (see acne lemon juice).
So that leaves broccoli and salmon.

Broccoli is amazing but I definitely saw more improvements by eating wild salmon daily, it really impressed me what kind of effects it could have on my entire body. The puffiness around my eyes disappeared, the acne faded away, it was amazing. Now broccoli is a close second, but to be as effective I had to consume larger amounts, and I'm biased since I prefer the taste of wild smoked salmon.

So the crowned winner for the best acne food ever goes to salmon!
