Diet and Acne, Truth And Myths About Foods

Scientists have not found a connection between specific foods and acne. The common train of thought "chocolate causes acne" is a myth. There is no scientific link between sugary and greasy foods and pimples, however, it is very important to maintain a healthy diet. The Journal of the American Medical Association recognized, "Diet plays no role in acne treatment in most patients…even large amounts of certain foods have not clinically exacerbated acne."

There are several nutrients found in foods that promote an overall healthy body. When the body is obtaining these nutrients, it will reflect in the person's overall well being and appearance. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, "A healthy diet is important for improving raw materials for healthy skin." The skin is the largest organ of the body and just like all the other organs, the proper nutrients should be provided for optimal health.

Vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin, that helps maintain the integrity of skin and mucous membrane that function as a barrier to bacteria and viruses. The Vitamin A produced by plants is known as beta-carotene usually found in yellow/orange fruits and dark green vegetables. Keep in mind high doses of Vitamin A can be toxic, so control your consumption.

Water helps flush toxins out of your system, so 6-8 glasses must be consumed on a daily basis.
