The Cause and Effect of Acne and Diet
I find it hard to accept that, in this day and time, health professionals continue to tell us that diet and acne have no relationship. If you suffer from acne it’s because your body has a low tolerance for certain chemicals and/or hormones that are present inside of you, and is using sebum oil in an attempt to get rid the excess. Believing that adding more of this stuff that is present in your food won’t matter is absurd.
Your first acne breakout probably occurred during your early teenage years. Your hormone production is pegged on high and your body is getting rid of the excess in sebum oil that is sent out through your skin. The presence of too much sebum on your skin is the first requirement for pimple formation.
Since your body is already overloaded with hormones, adding more would be foolish, don’t you think? That’s exactly what you’ll do by consuming any kind of dairy product. A simple glass of milk will dump 59 different hormones into your system. Any decent acne diet will stress the elimination of dairy from your diet.
Adult acne is simply a continuation of teen acne, except the cause is usually the chemicals used in processed foods rather than hormones. Your system views these chemicals the same way that it saw the hormones of your youth. Your body then begins sending the toxins out in sebum oil, starting your acne formation.
An effective diet for acne prone skin will eliminate chemical laden processed foods from your diet in order to stop acne formation before it begins.
The simple facts presented here point to a definite link between your diet and acne formation. Never forget that the pimples that form on your skin are the result of a deeper problem. Eliminate the internal cause, and the external result will go away naturally.
