The Nutritional Facts Concerning Acne
Acne vulgaris is commonly known as acne and is common among
teenagers due to hormonal changes at this stage in life. Too
much sebum produce by the sebaceous glands at this time in life
blocks up skin pores which makes them get infected. The
condition consists of red raised areas of the skin which can
develop into pustules (white heads) and even cysts. Common areas
of the body that are affected are the back, chest, groin and
face. The arms, buttocks, lower trunk and upper legs can also be
affected in severe cases.
There is no conclusive evidence that acne is caused by poor
nutrition, but poor nutrition could make the symptoms worst. A
diet high in fried food and saturated fats can make it easier
for pores to be blocked. It would be wise to keep to a whole
food diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables and drink plenty
of mineral water, at least a litre a day. Eggs, onions and
garlic
can be beneficial due to the high content of sulphur. It
is best to avoid stimulants like sugar and cigarettes. Foods
high in essential fatty acids (EFAs) such as oily fish, seeds,
nuts and whole-grain cereals are good as they have
anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin A (should be avoid by
pregnant women and those planning pregnancy), E, C and Zinc can
be beneficial taken in supplements form. Topical application of
diluted tea tree oil can also help with acne.
The following supplements may help if you are suffering from
Acne.
Antioxidant complex Multivitamin and multiminerals Vitamin A
