Diet and Acne: Our 5 Tips

Diet and Acne: Our 5 Tips

- Categories : Wellbeing advices Rss feed

The skin is our body's envelope; it is what we can show of ourselves, it is the interaction between our inner world and the outer world.
The skin is a complex organ that absorbs air, light, products such as cosmetics, and also eliminates waste in the form of sweat, pimples, redness, and acne.
Sometimes this skin becomes highly active, resulting in the appearance of pimples, blackheads, acne, eczema, or even psoriasis.

Baby skin, crocodile skin, this envelope reveals many secrets to us...

Understanding acne and its link with diet

Skin manifestations have a lot to tell us. We are not all equal, and some are more prone to skin disorders than others.

As a secondary elimination filter, there is often a noticeable link between the skin and the digestive system, particularly concerning acne. Pimples and blackheads are caused by an overproduction of sebum, which can clog the hair follicle and promote bacterial growth. Acne is a way for the body to expel mucus, a type of sticky substance.

If the digestive system has difficulty properly eliminating waste or if there are too many foods that produce mucus in the diet, then the body chooses to use the skin to expel certain waste products.

If the door is closed, we go out through the window !

Diet therefore has a significant impact on acne, highlighting the link between diet and skin health.

Some teens, affected by this issue, tend to eat processed, sugary, salty products, etc.
A natural, gentle diet could help them regain beautiful skin.

Acne and Emotions

Acne is a visible manifestation, sometimes socially embarrassing. It is also important to look at the side of Emotional for a truly complete and holistic. If I feel uncomfortable with others, if I have difficulty finding my place in a group, showing myself, or communicating, then sometimes my discomfort can manifest through visible physical symptoms, such as the appearance of pimples.

No wonder acne is common among teens who are in the midst of change, searching for who they are, and not always comfortable with the social pressure existing at school… Theacceptance "who I am," the embodiment in the body, grounding, theself-esteem and full presence allow for better embody one's body and therefore to work on skin problems.

Anti-acne diet: Myth or reality ?

No method is guaranteed to be 100% effective, and it goes without saying that an anti-acne diet will not work quickly for everyone.

There are complex cases where emotions take over, deep hormonal imbalances that require a bit more time, but frankly, most of the time, results are often achieved with dietary changes and holistic care, thereby helping to limit the development of pimples.

It would be a shame to miss out on that !

I personally support teenagers and adults who have been suffering from acne or skin problems for a varying amount of time, and they are generally surprised and pleased to make certain changes that allow them to reduce or even eliminate acne. For some, it is more difficult and takes more time, but we gradually make progress and achieve at least partial improvement.

The global and holistic approach allows for consideration of the whole individual and therefore offers extensive support. We will use the internal care "comme" translates to "like" or "as" in English. nutrition combined with plants "as well as the" natural external care.

We do not settle for a symptomatic remedy, but we seek the causes "and we try to" correct the imbalances "while relieving the symptoms."

No magic powder, no miracle cure, but real, substantial solutions for long-term results.

Foods to prioritize to combat acne

Prioritize foods closest to their natural state, fresh, unprocessed foods. A healthy diet, full of vitality with good hygiene habits, will be ideal.

It is important to seek to fill any potential gaps. deficiencies with simple food products and to allow the body to make a detox adapted.

Consume:

  • of the fruits : fresh, dried, freeze-dried, frozen
  • of the vegetables : raw, steamed, or braised
  • add sprouted seeds, seaweed, spirulina to fill any potential deficiencies

  • consume good sources of fat In reasonable quantities: avocados, nuts and seeds, oils rich in omega-3.

  • Consume foods rich in zinc : pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seed oil for example.
  • Add some plants in the form of herbal tea to purify the water, drain the liver, and cleanse other excretory organs (wild pansy, burdock, calendula, rosemary, dandelion * etc...)
  • Incorporate whole grains, such as quinoa, brown rice, or oats, to provide complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential nutrients.

A varied diet, , diversified, plant-based and natural will promote the body's balance and improve skin quality, including for people with acne-prone skin.

Foods to avoid to reduce the occurrence of acne

It is essential to have a balanced diet and to choose your foods wisely if you want to relieve acne-prone skin. I suggest limiting, reducing, or even eliminating foods industrial and transformed "and the food too" fat, characteristics of modern food:

  • chips, appetizer biscuits
  • candies, cakes, sugar, sweet cookies
  • fast food, pizza, hamburger, kebab
  • fritters
  • charcuterie

For many people, reducing the following foods is very beneficial:

  • gluten (pasta, bread, cookies, cereals)
  • dairy products (milk, fresh cream, yogurt, butter)
  • cereals (avoid consuming too much rice or potatoes, for example)
  • fatty foods (avoid excessive oils, fried foods, large quantities of nuts and seeds over long periods...)
  • refined foods (white flour, white bread, white sugar...)

To reduce the consumption of these generally sweet, salty, fatty, and often "satisfying" foods, it will be necessary to compensate for limit frustrations by adopting good habits, which can have beneficial effects on acne-prone skin and overall health.

Buy fruits and vegetables that you like, "treat yourself to your favorite dried fruits,", treat yourself with natural foods to delight your taste buds and avoid giving in when passing by a bakery.
