Acne And Carbohydrates
We explore the relationship between carbohydrates and acne here. Take it as your reference when you eat foods.
Carbohydrates
In our daily diet, there are low-carbohydrate and high-carbohydrate foods. Eating a high carbohydrate diet is more prone to acne and outbreaks. Whereas the person eating a lower carbohydrate diet has significantly fewer acne problems and outbreaks.
High-carbohydrate foods include candies, chocolates, drink like cola, highly processed foods such as white bread, sugary cereals and fast foods. Studies of scientists and nutritionists find that the high carbohydrate foods trigger a sharp increase in insulin production that in turn triggers hormonal increases leading to oily skin and clogged pores.
Low-carbohydrate foods include water, fresh fruits and vegetables, high fibre foods.
Best Diet Choices
To avoid acne or you have acne already, do the following changes in your diet:
- Eat as much natural food as possible such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Limit high carbohydrate items and switch to whole grain wheat products.
- Avoid fried foods or foods cooked in oils.
- Drink at least six glasses of water per day.
- Eat high fiber foods. High fibre foods tend to be generally low-carbohydrate foods.
- Avoid any foods that you may be allergic to. Keep a record of what is eaten for a week and see if there is any pattern to outbreaks.
