Acne Causing Foods To Avoid

Is it possible to cure acne by a mere diet? I’ll let you decide that for yourself after you have read the next few lines; what I can tell you right now is that most physicians believe that you couldn’t cause acne by what you eat, which I personally consider to be a farce. But then again, I’m merely a lowly writer, and your opinion is yours to draw from the facts that are presented below.

SEAFOOD – Interestingly, there aren’t a lot of people who realize that seafood often contains very high levels of iodine, which is known rather well to contribute significantly to the worsening of an acne condition. Again, the general consensus is that it does not cause you to have acnes, merely that by abstinence from foods containing the mineral/element, you can speed up your acne cure process. I would say that if you were at risk of acne, probably by genetic inheritance or by the fact that you are just reaching to your adolescence, you will do well to cut back on your seafood and iodine consumption.

MILK – Based on research, there is definitely a connection between the milk and acnes, and that connection is believed to be positively epidemiological. Facts prove that the consumption of various forms of treated milks, such as partially skimmed, instant breakfast drink, sherbet, cottage cheese, and cream cheese, all have ways of worsening a case of acne. Most researchers tend to put it down as an association between bovine in cow milk and the several sex hormones in the human body, but they sincerely have not been able to identify the exact factor or component in milk that causes the problems.

So dermatologists say you should perhaps experiment with the way you consume milk so that you can determine specifically which type of milk affects your acne adversely; I say you should generally avoid the above listed forms of milk once you realize that you are prone to acnes.

CARBOHYDRATES – High refined sugar content in your diet has always been believed to be one of the most glaring causes of acne for acne sufferers; and the same goes for a lot of other processed foods that are regularly consumed by the general American public. However a lot of questions are raised by the fact that even though most people consume these foods in their diet, not all of them respond with acnes.

Incidentally, most non-westernized countries and societies in the world today really don’t suffer as much from acnes as Americans do, which would suggest that the carbohydrate content in the foods we eat must indeed be a contributing factor to the incidence of acnes in the United States. As such, you may want to consider a low glycemic index in your diet to cure your acne, and do away with such foods as soft drinks, sweets, white bread if you desire to alleviate your acne. And of course, you know what to do with the junk food and the high fat and sugar content that it has.

OTHER SUGARS – I’ll leave this to you to decide, but studies suggest that other high sugar content foods like your regular chocolate, and your french fries, and the chips, and the sugar, are all parts of a long list to comprise high sugar foods that worsen acne. For a fact, abstinence from them will help you cure the condition; and so it is reasonable to believe that the same abstinence can help to prevent your acnes also. It is a given: acne treatment by diet is possible; therefore acne prevention by the same means has got to be a viable approach to dealing with acne. There simply isn’t anything else to it.

Acne Alternative Remedy – Using Chinese Medicine To Treat Acne

Sometimes your suffering from acne just cannot wait, and you wouldn’t be the first to walk down that road. There are indeed several anti-acne cures, treatments and medications that avail in several clinics across the country and you may just get your hands on any one of them over the Internet if you are persistent enough. The problem is just that not all acne treatments work for everybody, and certainly not in the same way. There are people who have extra sensitive skins who will react adversely to some acne cure cream that they just bought off of the counter in a cosmetic store, and there are people who will react even more violently.

Then, there are forms of acne that refuse to respond to any treatment or medication prescribed by a healthcare professional, which implies that the only solution to your acne is to sit it out and wait. Well, whereas that would have been cool if you aren’t so embarrassed by the inflammatory skin disease on your face, the syndrome is totally making a mess of your life! Plus, you have seen the scarring caused by the few acne lesions that appear to have healed, and they are hideous! If you sit it out, there is no telling what the scars will look like when they are done with you.

That leaves you with the option of seeking out alternative acne cures so that you can find relief. Interestingly and fortunately, there are a lot of acne treatment procedures by alternative medicine that you may pay particular attention to as you seek out the perfect remedy for your acnes. There are Native American cures for acne, and Japanese acne treatments, and herbal acne cures from India, and Ayuverdic acne solutions, and so on and so forth. The truth is that almost every culture under the sun has their own traditional treatment for acne, which they have every reason to believe in because they claim it works. It is therefore up to you to determine which medication is best suited for your condition.

Specifically, traditional Chinese treatment for acnes offers two different approaches for curing acnes. The philosophy of traditional Chinese Medicine is based very simply around the idea that any form of illness is a form of imbalance in your body that needs only to be corrected for health to be restored. For them, acne is no exception; and therefore your best acne cure would be to find a way to restore the balance in your body. Funny enough, this is not too farfetched from clinical philosophy, except that their approach to curing the syndrome takes a whole different angle.

For starters, you need to restore endocrine balance with a ‘cool’ diet that consists less of fried foods, chocolate, lychee, and durian, and take up more of herbal teas, fruits like melons, etc. This has to be further balanced out by ’soft’ exercise which promotes blood flow in your body and helps your hormone activity positively. The second Chinese approach to curing acne is through the use of acupuncture. Understandably, there is controversy concerning this acne treatment, but how do you argue with 5000 years of culture, tradition, and results?

Acne Naturally Treating – Using Oatmeal, Cucumber And Egg White

There are all kinds of names by which people refer to acnes. They call them pimples, zits, spots, and the very severe type that sometimes grows on your back is playfully referred to as bacne. But there is nothing funny about an inflammatory skin disease that damages your features and simply makes you look hideous. It is made worse by the fact that a lot of people do not know what to do to deal with the condition. They have tried all kinds of treatments and medications, and nothing seems to work.

Below you will find some simple remedies for acne that will get rid of your pimples overnight so that you can finally bid farewell to the disease. They are natural and they are easy to apply, and you may never have to see another dermatologist about the disease again if you use them the way they need to be used.

OATMEAL – You perhaps don’t know that oats are exceptionally high in protein contents, but they are. In addition to that they also have a fiber content that is good enough for your skin, and for the treatment of the disease. The primary plus is that fact that they have low carbohydrate content, and fat of only about 5%. A teaspoon of oatmeal, another one of yogurt, and a third of sour cream mixed together will do a lot of good for your skin. Add a little bit of lemon juice for extra effect, and you can be looking at the closest you will ever get to baby skin when you wash it off after ten minutes of topical application each night for a couple of days. They call it the oatmeal facemask.

CUCUMBER – Another type of facemask that works wonders on an acne infection is the type that you make from cucumber. You may have seen it in a few movies, where ladies line up at a health spa to have their faces covered with juice or paste made from the vegetable fruit. It is a natural effective way to treat the inflammation and never again have to see it every day when you wake up.

EGG WHITES – I know what you must be thinking. What have egg whites got to do with anything? The answer is everything! When you have just suffered an outbreak of acnes, you are perhaps left with scars from the lesions and inflammation. Get your raw eggs, be sure to remove the yolks, and then apply the clear water-soluble egg-white part of the eggs to the portion of your face where the scars are. By the next morning, you will notice significant improvement; in a couple of days, the scars will be gone altogether.

All you have to do is merge these remedies in your home as often as every day, and your pimples will practically disappear overnight. Sure, it means that you are going to have to spend a lot more time in your kitchen, but that is certainly not a problem you can’t live with, especially since it costs you less than visit after visit to the specialist clinic.
