Acne Diet

Foods with saturated fats and trans fats can contribute to oily skin. Saturated fats are found in most animal products - such as meat, dairy and poultry. However, the body does still require other essential fatty acids - such as fish, flaxseed or hemp oil. Some believe that a high calorie intake (ie, overeating) can lead to hormone levels, and then more "broken" - but this has not been tested.

What about chocolates and sweets?

Many believe there is a direct relationship between eating chocolate and increased acne. However, this has not been tested - even if the chocolate has a high percentage of saturated fat.

Foods to try

A higher protein intake can help control the acne. This may be related to decreased production of an enzyme in the certainty that can cause increased oil production, and increased clogging of the pores. A diet with 60-70% carbohydrates can be very high in carbohydrates.

Acne Treatments and vitamins

Some people have found that vitamin A and zinc have helped with acne. In addition green tea may also be incorporated in the diet (as it leads to a decrease in androgen production). High levels of iodine in the diet has an impact some acne sufferers - to cause new outbreaks of acne lesions. Note that very salty foods (iodized salt) such as chips, etc., contain high levels of iodine and should be avoided.
