Surprisingly there is no actual real evidence to say that certain types of food causes spots.
If you’re anything like me though, you don’t really believe that though do you?
Personally I have found that eating certain types of food causes spots.
If I eat lots of chocolate for example, I’ll get spots, if I eat junk food I’ll get spots. It’s always been the same for me and I’m sure other people have similar experiences with their spots.
A Healthy Diet is a great way to start
You might not want to hear this and it’s pretty boring but if you’re desperate to get rid of your spots you should start to eat healthier.
There may not be a strong scientific link between certain foods and acne but just about everyone knows that a healthy diet helps reduce your spots.
Nutrients
You need to have a diet that is balanced in nutrients and minerals. I don’t believe in getting specific and telling you what nutrients you should have because the danger is that if you read that a certain nutrient is good for your skin you will focus on that.
The best thing to do is eat a wide variety of food, including fruit and vegetables and you will get a balanced level of nutrients which will be beneficial for your skin.
Everything in Moderation
Too much saturated fat, too much refined sugar, and too much of anything is going to make your skin worse. Even too much fruit isn’t good for you.
Treat yourself to a fatty or sugary snack every now and then, but just make sure that most of the time you are balancing that with fruit, vegetables, nuts and as much variety as you can.
Life would be really boring if we couldn’t treat ourselves to food we really like every now and again so you probably don’t have to cut out bad fats altogether.
Fibre
Make sure there’s enough fibre in your diet. Fibre will help your digestion and may help clear out any toxins in your system that clog up and lead to more spots.
Water
Drink a good amount of water and try to avoid fizzy drinks. If you drink water your skin will start to look better because toxins will start to be cleansed from your system. Just don’t go overboard and drink massive quantities of water.
Try to avoid caffeine as much as possible as well.
Processed food
Eating processed food might cause and worsen your acne so if you can, try to eat unprocessed whole food as much as possible.
All the above tips are ways that might help you beat acne by improving your diet.
The other benefits of having a diet like that are that you might get healthier, lose weight and be fitter too.
