Food Giving You Acne
This advice was circulated for a long time because many thought that acne was somehow related to diet. Although both sides have valid arguments, there is no denying that food choices can have some effect on the progression of the skin disorder. If there is anything everyone should come to admit, it is that medical conditions are far more complex than we perceive them to be. There can be so many confounding variables involved. For instance, the notion that acne is caused by oily skin was once widely accepted. However, we have come to learn that acne results from the interplay of several variables, including diet, the skin shedding cycle, sebaceous gland activity, and finally the concentrations of p. acne bacteria present.
The foods which our contemporary diet is composed of are very unhealthy. Processed foods, as they are currently known, contain excessive amounts of simple carbohydrates. When our body processes these carbohydrates, our insulin levels skyrocket. This triggers an increased release of the testosterone hormone, which can force out sebaceous glands into overproducing oil. When a pore becomes clogged, this oil is able to continually feed the acne bacteria so that they can multiply.
An acne acne-fighting diet plan needs to contain a very limited number of processed foods. Even dairy products can be suspect in many cases of the disorder, for they contain foreign hormones which can cause adverse reactions. The best thing to do is to consume dairy products and processed foods in moderation. Water consumption is also very important in maintaining a clear complexion. Soda will simply not cut it. Finally, greasy foods should be avoided.
