Diet and Acne Myths

by Angelique Jodein

Over the years you might have heard many rumors about the relationship between acne and an individual's diet. These rumors can suggest people with acne to stay away from foods such as chocolate, French fries, soda pop, and fast food. Although for some individuals some foods may trigger an allergic reaction or inflammation, there is an indirect link between the foods you eat and acne.

Food As an Acne Treatment Method

What you eat does effect what doctors call your endocrine system, and disturbance to this system can trigger disorders such as acne. The endocrine system is a control system of ductless glands that produce chemical "instant messengers" called hormones, which are transported by the bloodstream to different cells in the body, which interpret these messages and act on them. How the overall diet works upon the endocrine system is getting more clear. Diets that are vitamin deficient, high in chemicals, low in fiber, or produce an imbalance of fatty acids are currently under analysis for the part they play in finding a natural skin care solution. It is a fact that groups that avoid ingesting low glycemic index carbohydrates (refined sugars) have very little adult acne. It is suspected but not studied that sugars alter the endocrine system and insulin secretion.

The Right Food Shows How To Clear Acne

Fats always seem to be logically linked with acne. While some of this is true, oil doesn't play the only role in skin afflicted by acne. A diet low in fat will produce a less greasy skin, but it is important to remember that sebaceous secretion (skin's oil) does not cause acne. Oil, devitalized skin, bacteria, contamination, and the right environment are together a known cause of acne . The consumption of animal fats, which has hormones, and saturated fats cause surface oils to be more viscous, which can lead to clogged skin. But not all fats are bad. There are some healthy fats that actually help to heal your skin and give you a natural beauty with the healthy glow you want. Omega 3 fatty acids, which are usually found in fish, are proven to enhance your skin's health.

Fibers Help Maintain Healthy Skin

The consumption of sufficient soluble and insoluble fiber is proven to regulate insulin synthesis, which contributes to provide a healthy endocrine system. Furthermore the consumption of sufficient fiber helps to keep a healthy microbial environment in the digestive tract. Unhealthy microbes produce toxins which your body gathers and then eliminates through the lympahtic system, thereby ending up in your skin, where they attract water and pinch off your sebum glands, thus initiating acne breakouts.

Various Causes of Acne

The effect of our chemically contaminated world on human bodies contributes to various illnesses, including acne. Many chemicals that we consume can depress our immune system, cause allergic responses, and damage our organs. It is important to remember that the human skin is the largest organ, and is essentially the protector of the internal organs. A big part of the pollution that your body absorbs comes through the pores, thus producing inflammation, imbalances in the skin, and bacteria to proliferate out of control thus causing acne.
