Exploring Foods That Help to Cure Acne

December 30, 2007

Food to Help cure Acne

When it comes to exploring foods that can help cure acne,  I’ll explore more about what foods to avoid, or cut back on, that help curb the appearance of acne.  There are a few pieces of advice that can be given when it comes to what foods help cure acne and part of it is about what foods to avoid and the other part is actually about what foods help cure acne.
Pay attention to what you eat when it comes to acne!  Also it’s important to remember that acne affects different people in different ways.  What works for you when it comes to what foods help cure acne may not work for someone else.  But here are some generalizations that can be made to give you some guidance.

Dairy Foods and Acne

It is a fact that some females are affected by dairy products and the presence of dairy products in the diet of a woman that cannot handle it can result in acne.  If you notice acne in a female then try cutting out the dairy in their diet, with consultation from a doctor of course and see if that helps.

Refined Sugar Foods and Acne

There is a long standing debate about whether or not refined sugars and almost all of the processed foods Americans eat are causing acne.  For a long time the answer seemed to be that these foods did not directly cause acne and it was difficult to determine whether or not they actually added to existing acne problems.  However, in the absence of hard medical data you can take observational data and come to some conclusions. 

In parts of the world that did not eat processed food acne almost did not exist.  Then when those parts of the world started to get processed foods, either through development of their civilization or as aid from other countries, acne would start to flourish.  Now many doctors are agreeing that processed foods and foods with excess sugar are contributing to acne.

Fruits and Veggies and Acne

Just like your mother told you, eating your fruits and vegetables are what foods help acne.  They are not the only foods that can help cure it but in a discussion about what foods help cure acne fruits and vegetables top the list.  The vitamins and minerals that are found in fruits and vegetables make them great treatments for acne and if you can eat them raw then that will help a lot because raw vegetables retain those important vitamins and minerals. 

While changing your diet may not cure your acne, you can help reduce the effects of acne on your skin by eating healthy foods.

I highy recommend reading Dr. Perricone’s book, The Wrinkle Cure. Dr. Perricone’s books guide us through a healthy diet towards better skin for a variety of skin problems.
