Perfectly Clear Skin - What To Eat To Banish Nasty Breakouts
According to the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology, intaking carbohydrates with a high glycemic index may hinder your ability to heal from breakouts. This is in part due to the fact that these types of foods cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly. The optimal diet for preventing or improving breakouts is Divide Your Plate In Four. Eat 1/4 protein, 1/4 whole grain complex carbohydrates, and 1/4 each of fruits and vegetables.
The Journal of American Academy of Dermatology also reported in a study that a diet of low glycemic foods (brown rice, vegetables, and whole grain breads) with high protein (chicken and fish) showed an almost 50% overall decrease in pimples after 3 months.
Cherries, oranges, tomatoes, whole grain pastas, peanuts, artichoke, grapefruits, grapes, and squash are examples of foods that help you keep clear skin because of their low glycemic index. For a longer list you can check out glycemicindex.com .
This diet is not a 100% guarantee for pimple breakouts prevention or elimination, but it is definitely worth trying and following. If you intake too many high glycemic foods, you will greatly be increasing your chances of getting pimples and blemishes. This type of diet also leads to being overweight and increases the chance of the development of diabetes and heart disease.
Increase your chances of clear skin by following the Divide Your Plate in Four diet. Your waistline and your face will surely show the results by helping you look and feel your best.
