A healthy diet does play a large role in healthy skin, just as it does for muscle, bones and overall health. This is a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables that are full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and omega fatty acids.
Antioxidants help the skin to maintain firmness, omega fatty acids help to diminish blotches, and inflammation on the skin. Antioxidants help to protect the skin and while food is being metabolized in the body it can cause certain chemical releases that are able to worsen existing acne.
Acne is caused by clogged hair follicles on the skin and this takes place when there is over production of sebum that accumulates in the pore. Food that is hard to digest can play a part in acne, because the digestive system while working harder and slower can cause skin disorders including acne outbreaks. |
