There are myths about acne and diet and there is valuable information that should be understood to live a less stressful life. The emotional trauma that can result from having acne can cause a significant amount of stress. I mention this article as the new truth about acne because a lot of the information online that I have studied is a couple years old. Research on skin care is being done constantly so there may be information here that you have not heard of before. To begin, there are dietary items that have been scientifically proven to induce pimples. Currently, the only food items that are proven to cause acne are dairy products. Dairy products include milk, cheese, sour cream, ice cream and process foods that contain dairy products. Dairy food items induce pimples due to the hormones they. This milk is for the calf to grow up quickly. These hormones cause a lot of people to get pimples. If people were to leave dairy out of their diet they would most likely experience an improvement in their acne. Next we have foods that are suspect but reports are inconclusive. These foods include those high in simple sugars and grease: - Cakes
- Cookies
- French fries
- Potato chips
- Onion rings
- More... Lastly, there are the foods that researchers and people promote as beneficial to the skin and improve it's health and appearance. These foods items include: Carrot Juice - Drink 3 cups per day. Thought that the Vitamin A is good for the skin Cucumbers - Drink 4-5 8oz. cups daily for seven days. Cleans the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Molasses - Consume 2tsp with Sulfur daily. Blood cleanser. Fiber - A high fiber diet in addition to an appropriate amount of water being consumed each day will shorten transit time. This will prevent food from getting old in the colon and transferring toxins to the blood stream. Teas - There are a number of teas that people say they work for them. They are: - Aloe
- Burdock
- Calendula
- Chickweed
- Dandelion
- Red clover
- White oak bark
- Yellow dock
- Cayenne
- Echinacea
- Ginseng
- Sarsaparilla
- Valerian There is a group of people that think a pure diet and one that will aid in the purification or detoxification of the body will help prevent acne. This diet would include primarily whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds and nuts. This diet has high levels of fiber, antioxidants and will be mostly free from preservatives, hormones and other additions to food that are toxic to the body and get stored, which some people think leads to acne flare-ups. My personal experience is that I am a vegetarian and I never have a significant flare up anymore. This was my experience when I eliminated dairy from my diet. When I do get a pimple it coincides with the consumption of excessive sugar or fat. I have also noticed that I may get a pimple if I have not slept enough or am experiencing prolonged stress. In conclusion, there is no question but that acne and diet have an inseparable connection. Foods can be categorized in a relationship to acne as definitely causing it, being thought to cause it, and preventing acne. I do hope that you give removing dairy from your diet serious consideration.
