You are what you eat - everybody knows that, right? Whether this statement holds good in the case of acne has been a topic which has been under rigorous research. Some people believe that certain foods cause acne while others think vice versa. However, we must also consider a third school of thought, which believes acne can be caused by food allergies.
By and large, many people in the medical profession believe the skin is, in effect a means of elimination. And when you consume food that your system may be allergic too, your body will keep itself ready, setting up its own defense mechanism upon trigger from a toxic reaction. Thereafter, the body starts expelling out the toxins from the food leading to inflammation on the skin in the form of papules and pustules.
As per the Archives of Dermatology's research papers from a few years back, there are a few high-glycemic foods that could result in acne. These foods would lead to an accretion in the body's insulin proportion, leading to an increase thereof in the body's level of male hormones. As an effect of rising hormones, there is excess production of sebum in the body which ultimately leads to clogging of pores thereby causing acne. So basing on this study, it seems true after all that potato chips, french fries and other processed foods, as well as less-expected foods like grains, milk and bread are at the forefront of acne proliferation.
These specialists do not sugar-coat the necessity of adapting a lower-glycemic diet. A lower-glycemic diet would contain the following.
Oat bran, raisin bran, oat cereal or any variant of the above. Focus such diet on increased fruit and vegetable consumption. Lots of water, herbal teas and vegetable juices
The following foods are not, in any way, shape or form to feature in your lower-glycemic diet:
Walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, and filberts Large amount of dairy products and milk Carbonated drinks such as soda pop. Potatoes
Experts believe Vitamin B5 is de rigeur as part of any nutritious, wholesome diet. It is commonly found in foods such as pork, beef, chicken, eggs, saltwater fish, potatoes, wheat and fresh vegetables. The variety of foods is large, but the problem is that 50 % of the vitamin is lost during milling of grains and sadly, the average American diet lacks in fresh vegetables. Diet may not be the particular cause of acne and rosacea but can obviously help in the prevention and elimination of the same. You may have read elsewhere that these foods do not trigger acne, but they actually do - be wary when consuming sugary foods such as cakes and cookies, chocolate, alcohol, fried food, dairy products, nuts, coconut byproducts, greasy or oily food.
The ingestion of the following foods mentioned above can indeed trigger acne, so eliminating your consumption of the above can certainly help. A healthy and well-balanced diet keeps your body healthy and the health inside radiates outside on your skin.
