This video details some nutritional steps that a person might consider taking in order to help reduce his or her chances of developing acne; the condition of acne is also briefly discussed.
If you want to be acne-free, the best thing to be acne-free is prevention. Therefore, a healthy nutrition is very, very important. So, try and not to have- to offer sweets and chocolates and cakes and biscuits because they're very high in sugar and fats and they could actually exacerbate, a little bit, the problem by increasing the fatty tissue in your skin and produce some spots.
So, do not eat them too often. In terms of meats and fish, I would suggest that you actually stick more to white fish such as cod and haddock and sea brine and sea bass or do, for example, white meat such as chicken and turkey and veal. You can have portions of oily fish a week but I wouldn't actually overdo it.
You get enough omega threes from one portion of oily fish a week. So, that is actually quite a good preventative method in terms of preventing acne. The other thing you can do is you can work with some supplements if that is necessary.
Zinc and selenium are generally speaking quite good for your skin, so is vitamin B5 and B6. You can have some fish oils if you're not eating actually oily fish. All of that is actually quite a good thing.
So, your skin is actually a healthy and living organ, and acne occurs when something goes wrong. And acne - most underlying condition for acne is an excess sebum production and that is caused by excess androgen production, meaning, testosterone in most cases. Now, both us women and men, we have testosterone.
It's actually a hormone which is produced in the adrenal glands and in women, it is produced in the ovaries and men use it in the testes. Now, if you overproduce it, testosterone actually gives rise to excess fat tissue in your body so that can cause acne. Now, if you have suspicions that you may actually breakout or have more breakouts of acne, it would be a good idea to go, for example, for a hormone test and actually have a look at what is happening to your hormones because if there is a slight imbalance, that can be easily corrected. And that is how to be acne-free! .
