Expanding Upon the Acne Diet Concept

Cultivating an acne diet takes some worthwhile work. Some dieticians
or physicians may simply prescribe an anti-inflammatory diet under
the assumption that removing inflammation-causing foods will reduce
the presence of acne.

This is a good working theory, but digestion is a
complicated process and unique to each individual. There are some
simple key points to remember about acne and digestion that include:

  • Eat too much and you will tax the liver, which can lead to acne.
  • Eat foods that your body can tolerate well (we’ll cover how to
    find these foods in a later chapter).
  • Make certain that you consume enough protein and that you are
    digesting it well, else, excess protein may cause an
    inflammatory reaction in the skin
  • If you each sugars or carbohydrates, balance them with proper
    amounts of protein. Otherwise you can cause a drop blood
    sugar that promotes a chain of hormonal reactions similar to
    those that trigger acne formations.
