Strategies for Curing Acne

By Gail Jones

Most people with acne attempt to cure their broken skin with creams, face washes, expensive soaps, lotions and treatments. However, the best way to treat acne is by altering your diet and avoiding acne-causing things such as fried food. A healthy diet, rich in natural unprocessed foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains and beans is the first bit of advice for curing acne.

Foodstuffs containing trans-fatty acids, chocolate, milk, milk products, margarine, shortening and man-made hydrogenated vegetable oils, as well as fried foods, should consumed. It appears that the prevalence of acne in the USA is caused by the typical American diet. Americans typically eat fried food in great quantities and often cook it in the worst possible fats and oils.

However, not all fats are bad for you, but the fats and oils that the typical American uses make them more susceptible to get acne and other skin problems. Items that can irritate are ice cream, cheese, bacon, chocolate and milk. Furthermore, acne can't actually be cured using external skin creams and expensive soaps because the root cause of the condition is underneath the skin.

Pimples, spots and blemishes are caused by bacteria and other irritants embedded beneath the skin's oil glands and hair follicles, which are generally caused as a result of insufficient hygiene, squeezing and poor diet.

This poor diet could be a result of too high a proportion of such items as processed, fatty, fried and sugary foods in your diet. A diet that is good for your skin emphasizes raw and lightly cooked vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables that contain valuable trace minerals and are rich in fibre. Fresh green vegetables are essential. You should also include in your diet lean protein sources and complex carbohydrates, such as rice, whole-grain bread and potatoes.

These fibre-rich foods will help ensure a clean gastrointestinal tract, which is so vital to the control of acne. You should eat three healthy meals every day in order to provide you with sufficient vital nutrients and decrease your craving for sweet or/and oily, fried food.

You should consume lots more food that is rich in vitamin A, such as apricots, watermelons, and broccoli, along with lean beef, nuts, lentils and whole grains, because they are rich in zinc, which is also be useful in reducing acne breakouts. It's also vital to drink plenty of water to help flush the poisons out that cause acne. - 17269
