Top 6 Foods That Can Trigger Acne(Pimples) – Must Avoid List
Many factors contribute to the development of acne, including sebum and keratin production, acne-causing bacteria, hormones, blocked pores, and inflammation.
The link between diet and acne has been controversial, but recent research shows that diet can play a significant role in acne development.
Top 6 Foods That Can Trigger Acne(Pimples) – Must Avoid List
These foods should be avoided if you want to have a pure and gentle face.
1. Shells
Shellfish, clams, crabs and lobsters close the pores and cause acne. Tuna or catfish are a much better solution for your skin. These are rich in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids and do not close the pores, so the skin can breathe freely.
2. Milk
Milk and dairy products are all full of bioavailable hormones. By entering these products the skin is under great stress, especially if these foods are consumed in large quantities. In this case, you need to enter something different, something like broccoli that contains vitamins A, B, C, E and K, which relaxes your skin and makes it look younger.
3. Salt
A great amount of salt stops the process of hydration and leads to swelling. In this situation, your body cannot fight acne because there is not enough strength. Walnuts contain vitamin E, calcium,iron, i.e. improve hydration and maintain its level.
4. Bread And Refined Grains
These products can increase insulin, which encourages acne to appear in larger numbers. Brown rice can be a great substitute because it contains a lot of protein and vitamin B.
5. Fast Food
Acne is strongly associated with eating a Western-style diet rich in calories, fat, and refined carbohydrates.
Fast food items, such as burgers, nuggets, hot dogs, french fries, sodas, and milkshakes, are mainstays of a typical Western diet and may increase acne risk.
One study of over 5,000 Chinese teenagers and young adults found that high-fat diets were associated with a 43% increased risk of developing acne. Regularly eating fast food increased the risk by 17%.
A separate study of 2,300 Turkish men found that frequently eating burgers or sausages was linked to a 24% increased risk of developing acne
It is unclear why eating fast food may increase the risk of developing acne, but some researchers propose that it may affect gene expression and alter hormone levels in a way that promotes acne development.
However, it is important to note that most of the research on fast food and acne has used self-reported data. This type of research only shows patterns of dietary habits and acne risk and does not prove that fast food causes acne. Thus, more research is needed.
6. Alcohol
Wine, beer, and cocktails are all super companions at parties but they dehydrate the skin and can lead to a wrinkled appearance. Avocados are a perfect replacement. Avocados refresh the skin and enrich it with vitamin E.
