Acne Treatment 101

Homemade Acne Treatment - Does Diet Really Affect Your Skin

In the medical world today, there are a lot of debate about whether their diet affects acne. Many doctors say the food you eat has no effect. But anecdotal evidence seems to say otherwise. Most people who suffer from acne tell you that your skin becomes worse if they use certain foods (such as chocolate, curry or sugary snacks) Why should this be? When sugary foods, I think the problem is caused by insulin and hormone spike that excess sugar in the blood causes insulin to be released. Eating foods such as chocolate and drinking soft drinks things that makes your blood sugar to spike and hence, more insulin is released. This causes the body to produce other hormones to maintain equilibrium, and then the skin, feels full effect. Hormonal changes are a major cause of acne.

want to see proof of my theory, we need only look to countries where a non-Western ", hunter-gatherers" diet is eaten. The acne is all but unprecedented in those countries. But in Western countries with a diet consisting of refined carbohydrates, meats and sweets eat snacks acne is a huge problem. Think for a second and then it will affect you - the diet has a massive effect on the skin! If not, why Westerners are much more prone to acne? Or is what defines us as acne Westerners? I do not think so! Now that we have received from so here are some simple things you can do to eat a lower GI / lower sugar content, processed meat, less content; Lleras diet -

* Eat brown rice instead of white rice. Brown rice takes a few minutes longer, but are much healthier, contain more nutrients and not send such a huge peak of sugar throughout the bloodstream.

* Do not eat potatoes - never! Potatoes are one of the biggest culprits in my mind because they are simply a store of carbohydrates, nothing more. Eating a potato is causing a huge peak insulin your entire system so if you're looking for a healthier alternative, try sweet potatoes (it sounds stupid, but the sweet potato is actually healthier for you!) * Replace white bread with brown bread - white bread is so pure carbohydrate. Eat brown instead of bread, because it is much less processed and contains healthy grains and other nutrients.

* Do not eat bacon, ham, salami and sausages - all these meat is highly processed and is no more unhealthy. Try eating meat or fish or chicken instead (as long as it is not processed) change your diet is easily one of the best homemade acne treatments around. Without a good diet does not make sense to spend money on other treatments for acne that does not have a healthy body to implement them!
