Eat Your Way To Clear Skin With An Acne Diet?
There are Many conflicting
theories about an anti-acne
diet. Many doctors ignore
this matter completely, while
a lot of magazines offer "perfect"
and "100% sure" acne diets.
Where's the truth? Is there
any diet that can really cure
acne?
Theoretically, it is possible
that a diet can affect this
disease. Since the underlying
cause of acne is hormonal
instability, we can try to
repair it by constructing
a diet that will stimulate
the production of certain
hormones and reducing the
quantity of others. However
for practical reasons it is
very difficult to create a
working anti-acne diet.
Some food has to be eaten
in such quantity to have an
effect that it is simply impossible
to do that. Some kinds of
food should be avoided because
of acne, but have to be eaten
because of the nutritional
value. And, let's face it,
sometimes acne is so severe
that no diet could help.
Tips and guidelines
While it's not practical to
create a complete anti-acne
diet, there are a few tips
and guidelines you can follow.
1. Avoid any androgenic hormones
in your food. Androgenic hormones
tell your skin's oil glands
just how much sebum or skin
oil to excrete. DHEA, testosterone,
androstenedione should be
avoided at all cost - all
of them are known to increase
the symptoms of acne. Your
diet should be completely
hormone-free, or as close
to it as possible.
2. Don't drink an excessive
amount of milk when you have
acne. There are lots of hormones
in milk of pregnant cows,
and that is the majority of
marketed milk and dairy products.
If you reduce the quantity
of milk in your diet, you
will probably minimize the
amount of hormones you intake.
Progesterone, 5-alpha reduced
steroids, and other steroid
hormones when digested can
break down into DHT, the final
molecule that turns on the
oil cells in the skin.
3. If you suffer from acne,
think about increasing the
quantity of fish in your diet.
Most fish has very important
omega-3 oils that improve
health of your skin.
4. It is said that Vitamin
E may sometimes worsen acne
symptoms, so avoiding it in
your diet may help you get
rid of the disease. However,
there are no hard facts to
support for that idea.
5. Avoid sugar. It is known
to increase the symptoms of
acne.
6. Don't expect miracles.
No anti-acne diet can cure
the disease by itself.
You are unlikely to eat yourself
free of acne, but good eating
habits and a healthy lifestyle
will certainly help
