Especially for those with acne-prone skin, breakouts can appear in an instant. So, what are the causes of acne on the face? How to quickly get rid of acne? How to treat acne? Next, the editor will answer these questions one by one, telling acne-prone individuals about the daily dietary do's and don'ts and methods for treating acne.
Acne is a great enemy to our skin's beauty. While carefully selecting natural and effective acne-fighting products, it is especially important to pay attention to dietary adjustments. When it comes to diet, you should pay attention to the following two general principles:
Principle One: Stop eating any food that makes your acne worse when you normally eat it, and stop eating any food that is likely to cause allergic reactions in your skin.
Principle Two: Eat more vegetables and fruits high in Vitamin C, and eat less spicy food and high-calorie food.
Now, let's elaborate on the foods that are suitable for acne-prone skin and the foods to avoid. Those who love beauty should remember this well.
1. Foods to Eat
1. Eat more foods containing zinc and calcium, such as corn, soybeans, radishes, mushrooms, nuts, liver, scallops, milk, etc.
2. Eat more vegetables rich in vitamins: such as bitter melon, cucumber, lentils, soybeans, eggplant, cabbage, radish, spinach, green onions, carrots, pumpkin, tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, apricots, mangoes, animal liver, cod liver oil, roe, soybean oil, nuts, wood ear mushrooms, monkey head mushrooms, green leafy vegetables, fish, etc.
3. Eat more high-fiber foods, such as whole wheat bread, coarse grains, soybeans, bamboo shoots, etc., which can promote intestinal peristalsis, speed up metabolism, and help excess oil be expelled from the body as soon as possible.
4. Drink more plain water.
5. Eat more fresh fruits, especially seasonal fresh fruits: tomatoes, apples, bananas, grapes, kiwis, mangoes, pineapples, watermelons, lemons, cantaloupes, strawberries, etc., all help to fight acne.
II. Foods to Avoid
1. Avoid high-fat foods, such as lard, cream, fatty meat, pork brain, pork liver, pork kidneys, etc.
2. Avoid "heating" and "fishy" foods. These foods often expand the chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands and make it difficult to eliminate. Especially seafood, followed by "heating" meats like lamb and dog meat.
3. Avoid high-sugar foods. After consuming high-sugar foods, the body's metabolism becomes more vigorous, sebaceous glands secrete more oil, which causes acne to appear continuously.
4. Avoid spicy foods. These foods are "heating" in nature and can easily cause internal heat after consumption.
Eat less spicy, fried, and high-calorie foods. Overeating spicy, stimulating, fried, and greasy foods, or having a sweet tooth can all promote dampness and generate heat, which can cause acne to appear or become more severe. Drink less cola, juice, and strong coffee, and also eat less chocolate, candy, cream cakes, fried foods, and raw green onions, raw garlic, and chili. This can reduce the intake of sugar, oil, and irritating foods.
5. Avoid taking supplements, as most supplements are "heating" in nature and can increase internal heat, making it more likely to trigger acne.
6. Try not to eat or eat less of the following fruits that can easily trigger acne. Generally, fruits that are easy to cause "internal heat" are likely to trigger acne, such as: lychee, peach, longan, cherry, coconut, durian, apricot, jujube, hawthorn, pomegranate, green olive, tangerine, ginkgo nuts, etc., are all considered "warm-heat" fruits. Most people who eat too many "warm-heat" fruits are prone to "internal heat".
