Acne is primarily a problem of hormonal origin, so it is during adolescence that most young people are affected by unpleasant pimples and their scars, in adulthood, is especially in women that sometimes the problem persists. This problem manifests itself mainly on the face and trunk, and sometimes it leaves quite deep marks. The increase in sebum secretion and obstruction of the follicle gives rise to bubbles and/or pimples that should be treated locally and preferably with the help of a dermatologist.
But our nutrition, while not addressing the problem, can mitigate it. Foods high in saturated fats and sugar increase the oiliness of the skin, thereby contributing to the worsening of the problem. Should be avoided foods rich in fats, iodine, vitamin B12 and there are already studies that say it should be avoided milk.
A diet rich in protein and fiber is a good way to control acne. Food-based in beta-carotene that are an excellent source of vitamin A have an antioxidant effect and help control sebum production, they are, among others, kale, spinach, broccoli, carrots, peppers, squash, melon, papaya, manga...
Vitamin C and its anti-inflammatory effect are part of an anti-acne diet, and vitamin B6 which helps control hormones and can be found, for example, in whole grains. The fibers found in vegetables and fruits, for example, regulate the intestinal tract and eliminate toxins.
Green tea is excellent for help in treating and controlling acne. Acts as anti inflammatory, speeds up metabolism and helps remove grease.
The famous chocolate connection to acne is not proven, but in fact chocolate is rich in saturated fats and should therefore be one of the foods to avoid.
To prevent worsening of acne, yet avoid washing your face with hot water and large exposure to the sun without proper protective.
