Do Roasted Peanuts Cause Acne? |
by:
Tim Gorman |
Many people wonder what the
active cause for acne to occur on an individual really is a result
from and some folks even attribute it to roasted peanuts. The
truth is acne, zits and blackheads can be caused from a variety
of reasons. Your diet is really just one small piece of the acne
causing problems. Other factors include exercise, cosmetics, diet,
hormones, hygiene, medications, shaving and stress. For the subject
of this article I’ll stick with the diet portion and how it can
influence your resistance or encouragement of acne.
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 a healthy diet along with a vitamin regiment
that should prevent any sort of zit or blackhead outbreak. Here
is a small list of healthy vitamins, minerals and other supplements
that have been known and recommended to prevent and help conquer
acne breakouts:
Vitamin A,
Vitamin B Complex,
Vitamin C,
Vitamin E,
L-Carnitine and
Zinc
In terms of diet the following measures can be taken with the
hope of preventing an acne outbreak or at the very least minimizing
further outbreaks of zits and blackheads. It’s recommended that
you add more fruits, veggies, seeds and nuts to your regular diet.
This can be accomplished by eating more salads, dried fruit and
nut snacks and by drinking more juices.
It is recommended that you decrease your daily intake of caffeine,
sugar and refined carbohydrates. There have been some clinical
studies showing that caffeine can increase the levels of stress
hormones inside your body, provoking or worsening acne conditions.
This means you should cut back on your consumption of tea, coffee,
chocolate and other beverages containing caffeine. The same advice
goes for sugar and refined carbs. For instance white bread, rice,
flour, and pasta can result in an insulin surge, resulting further
in an excess of male hormones that stimulate skin to discharge
lots of sebum, which in turn leads to clogged pores allowing bacteria
to grow and acne to appear.
Finally it is also recommended that you decrease your dietary
intake of red meat and dairy products. Since both are more difficult
for our bodies to digest and some researchers say that when the
body puts forth an increased effort in the digestion of high levels
of animal protein, waste products are not completely processed
as usual, instead they can shed slowly, blocking pores, causing
acne.
Hopefully these few diet tips will help in your quest to stop
the appearance of acne, zits and blackheads. And remember it hasn’t
really been proven that roasted peanuts cause acne.
