Dieting To Help Eliminate, Improve Or Prevent Acne
Though there is some debate as to whether changing to a acne free diet actually works, there is enough support out there for it to be realistic. There is enough evidence proving that what we eat may affect our skin [we are what we eat!]. Changes needed in our diet Diet alone will not clear up any acne problems [but it helps], you will also need to get into the habit of cleaning and moisturizing you skin at least twice a day. Avoid or limit the following: * peanut products * fried foods * dairy * salt * refined sugars * high carb foods * highly processed foods Not all of the above mentioned foods will increase you acne, some people are more sensitive than others and therefore will have a breakout. Try eliminating one at a time and see if it helps clear your skin, I am sure you have noticed that after a party, where you were eating handfuls of nuts, you had a break out - try limiting your peanut intake for a few weeks and see if there is a difference [peanuts used as an example, it could also be those greasy savory meatballs or cheesy pizza pieces etc.] Increase your intake of the following * whole grains - oatmeal, brown rice, wheat pastas, etc * fresh vegetables - all vegetables are good for you, remember though not to add any fats or sugars to enhance them [sad but you do need to avoid these] * fruit - all will be good for you but there are a few that have a very high sugar content, limit these wherever possible * lean proteins - there is nothing more tasty than that piece of fat on the edge of a perfectly cooked steak, avoid this tasty morsel totally if you have a skin problem. Chicken skin is also a no no, this contains large amounts of fats and can also increase the oiliness that you are trying to clear up. Some possible causes of acne [excluding foods] * hormones - the hormonal increase that happens when we blossom from pre-teenage years into puberty * birth control pills - starting or stopping the pill can have a hormonal reaction that could cause acne * hormonal changes - in pregnancy, the poor body goes through some major changes in this period, and while some women bloom and look beautiful there are a few out there that have the opposite reaction to this very normal occurrence * some medication - while trying to control or cure some other problem a reaction could occur giving you a bad case of those awful pimples * greasy make-up - this can block the pores in your skin, remember to get non greasy make up when next purchasing these items * hereditary - generally if one of your parents had a bad skin problem, you will have a bigger chance of getting a pimple problem as well Going on a healthier diet will definitely increase your energy levels, overall health and quite possibly give you a clearer, blemish free skin.
