Acne Formation
Acne Formation-Fact About Food.
By Antin. Millions people are afflicted with acne. About ninety percent of male teenagers and eighty percent of female teenagers get acne and more than forty percent of them have severe acne which needs medical treatment from doctor. Although the acne formations mostly happen among teenagers, people in older age also can get acne.
Many studies have shown that heredity, rapid dead skin cells shedding, bacteria, and hormonal changes are the causes of acne formation. How about diet? Do roasted peanuts, greasy foods or chocolate can cause acne? It is a popular question about acne for years. Some people believe that roasted peanuts, greasy foods or chocolate can cause acne and try to avoid them. But until now diet has been found to have no direct link to the acne.
However, an individual acne sufferer may find that outbreaks of acne are caused by eating certain foods. Some people have different reactions to various foods. Too much caffeine, carbonated beverages, fatty foods, sweets, processed foods and pasta may flare up their acne symptoms. It is actually up to you to take notice if you experience acne breakouts with some foods. If this is the case, the best advice is to limit or avoid these foods.
Some studies have shown that stress play role in acne formation by causing hormonal changes. Although there are no specific findings that would really relate diet to acne, there have been some clinical studies showing that tea, coffee, chocolate and other beverages containing caffeine can increase the levels of stress hormones inside your body, provoking or worsening acne conditions.
White bread, pasta, flour, and rice can result in an insulin surge, resulting further in an excess of male hormones that stimulate skin to discharge lots of sebum. This condition leads to clogged pores allowing bacteria to grow and acne to appear. If you have acne problem, you suggest cutting back caffeine, sugar and refined carbohydrates on your diet.
