Acne Nutrition Tips
Acne Nutrition Tips - Studies show that
diet does not play a role in either
the cause or the treatment of acne.
However, what is recommended
for acne preventative care is this: what is best for your body is
best for your skin, especially since your skin is the largest organ
of your body. So here are healthy
vitamins, minerals and other
supplements that have been known and recommended to prevent and
help conquer acne breakouts:
Acne Nutrition 1: Vitamin A or Retinol is found not
only in some cosmetic creams but also in liver, fish oils and dairy
products. Produced by
plants, this
vitamin is also known as called
Beta-carotene, and is found in yellowish-orange fruits and
vegetable; yams, cantaloupe, carrots apricots, and in green
vegetables like spinach, kale and parsley. Beware that high
doses of Vitamin A are toxic.
Acne Nutrition 2: Vitamin B Complex. These vitamins are found in
leafy vegetables, fish, milk, eggs and whole grains and have many
functions. For example, although B-2 can irritate acne, it can help
alleviate stress. B-1, B-6 and B-12 are also known for proving
stress relief.
And B-3, in avocados, eggs, peanuts, lean meat and
liver, reportedly reduces cholesterol level, has an
anti-inflammatory effect on skin and improves your metabolism and
circulation, improving acne in some studies.
Acne Nutrition 3: Vitamin C - A form of this vitamin, the C
ester has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has
helped penetrate skin and prevent the return of acne. It is being
tested for repairing damage to scar tissue from teen years.
Acne Nutrition 4: Vitamin E, in almonds, broccoli, peanuts,
sunflower seeds, wheat germ and vegetable oils, has been said to
help with scar tissue healing, but this is considered a myth by
many healthcare professionals.
Instead, researchers are considering
that a form called tocotrienol (often referred to as high potency E
or HPE) may carry antioxidant properties that may be able to aid
the skin when ingested.
Acne Nutrition 5: L-Carnitine- this supplement is reported to
help repair skin damage from acne for young and old.
Acne Nutrition 6: Zinc (found in eggs, mushrooms, nuts and whole
grains) and selenium (a trace mineral in most soils and absorbed my
a variety of vegetables) are known to improve the overall health of
the body, including the skin.
In summary, a good quality brand name multivitamin will probably
have the recommended vitamins and minerals that you need to help
with acne prevention.
Combine this with drinking plenty of fluids
throughout the day and making good, healthy dietary food choices.
For example, if you have had ill effects from eating a certain food
before, be leery of it and make healthier food choices for
yourself.
