Acne is a very common skin condition associated with pimples, pustules and comedones (blackheads). Young people are particularly affected. After a few years the acne usually disappears by itself again. A proper diet can help control acne. Because everything eaten can have an effect on health and, consequently, on the skin. Unfortunately, however, there is a lack of studies that can prove a clear link between nutrition and acne. However, most experts agree on one thing: a balanced, healthy diet can be effective against pimples and blemished skin by supplying the body with important vitamins and micronutrients, thus providing resources for the formation of healthy (skin) cells, as de.eucerin.ch writes.
More high fiber foods
Dietary fiber is a component of plant foods that the body cannot digest on its own. Researchers are discovering more and more positive effects on health, including the fact that dietary fiber reduces the energy density of food, causing the pancreas to release less insulin – with positive consequences. Foods high in fiber include whole grains, legumes such as beans, chickpeas, lentils and soybeans, vegetables, especially cabbage, but also carrots, fennel, broccoli or dried fruits such as dates, figs, prunes and raisins.
