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.
