Dietary Changes May Improve Your Acne

Posted on January 4, 2008 in Latest News

It is true that all most all the dermatologists hesitate to make any sort of dietary recommendations to their acne patients due to lack of credible research on the association of acne and some food groups. It may possible that if you adopt little dietary changes in your life for some time, you may improve your acne.

Here are some guidelines regarding dietary changes that may improve your acne:

Avoid excess intake of dairy products:

If you are suffering from acne and taking more dairy products regularly, then it will make your situation worst. Avoid taking dairy products at least for one month and check the difference. If your acne is really improving then try to curve your excess intake of dairy products for some more time.

Avoid excess intake of sugar:

Consuming a lot of sugar can worsen your acne. If you can not avoid completely, try to cut it back. Try it at least for one month and check the difference.

Avoid excess and regular intake of saturated fats and trans fats:

Foods that contain saturated fats and trans fats make your skin oilier. These foods are mainly found in dairy products, meats and poultry.

Try green tea:

Green tea is a best natural and herbal remedy for treating your acne. Acne is associated with decreased immune function and green tea contains many antioxidants that help your immune system. Green tea aids detoxification, reduces hormonal activities, controls inflammation which ultimately treats acne.

    Meat, beans, tofu and other soy products, eggs, lots of veggies.
    Millions of folks eat no dairy. Lactose intolerance and dairy allergy are not that uncommon
    But be sure to get about 2000 IU of Vitamin D3 into your 15 year old so he can absorb the calcium he needs from the rest of his food. Low calcium diets are HARD to design.
