A few weeks before her wedding Ania had spent $300 on body care products, trying to get rid of persistent acne that plagued her chin, forehead, chest and entire back. In spite of all the efforts, her wedding pictures still reveal blue and purple signs of large inflamed boils. Coincidently, for 5 months just prior to the wedding, Ania was working in the bakery. Once during lunch an Irish co-worker shared with Ania: “You have to stop eating those nice things you did not have in your country, and your acne will go away. I used to have the same problem.” Ania looked in disbelief. She contributed her skin problems, as well as falling out hair to climate change, high heat and sweating in the bakery, as well as uncleanness of the city air. How could it have to do anything with diet?
When Ania quit working in the bakery and started eating wholesome foods, her skin cleared to the point that many people complemented her on her complexion. The true revelation came, when they saw the before pictures. Then not being able to hide their admiration, they exclaimed: “She is so beautiful!”
