Recommended Nutrition
Fatty Acids
Essential fatty acids - reduce inflammation in the body and maintain the health of the skin.
Sources: Nuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds - these are good sources of vitamin E and essential fatty acids.
Dietary Fiber
For those suffering from acne, it is recommended to increase the intake of dietary fiber that improves the function of the digestive system.
Proper functioning of this system prevents constipation that inhibits the removal of waste from the body and causes the release of toxins from the intestine into the blood and thence into the skin.
Sources: Legumes, fruits, vegetables, oats, psyllium, okra, flaxseed, oat bran, and pectin (found in the white part of the orange and apple peels).
Pumpkin and Sunflower Seeds
These are rich in zinc, this is a mineral that helps strengthen the immune system and accelerates wound healing processes.
Reduction in Carbohydrate Consumption
Refined carbohydrates (white sugar is a good example) are found to be associated with acne and therefore it is recommended to lower the foods with high glycemic values and above all the products with white sugar.
It is highly recommended to read the ingredients for example - if you look at the ingredient lists you will see that even in salty snacks sugar is among the main ingredients.
Reduction in Milk Consumption
Studies find a clear link between drinking more than 2 glasses of milk a week and a significant increase in acne.
It is recommended to reduce the number of dairy products in the diet.
