Your Diet Doesn’t Matter - Unless You Have Acne!
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. How anyone could believe that putting more of these chemicals and hormones into your body won’t affect how your body reacts is beyond me.
Your first acne breakout probably occurred during your early teenage years. Your hormone levels jump to excessive levels and your body is sending the overload out through your skin emulsified in sebum oil. This is how all acne pimples start.
Now, if you’re already overloaded with hormones, does it make any sense to add more fuel to the fire? Eating or drinking any dairy product will do that very thing. Just drinking a glass of milk will add saturated animal fat, various steroids, and 59 different hormones to 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 body’s reaction to these toxins is much the same as it was for hormones. Again, your body uses sebum oil to cleanse the toxins, and acne begins.
Getting rid of processed foods from your diet is another building block of any good diet for acne prone skin.
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.
