How Can I Help Acne By Altering My Diet?

Food Sensitivity & Acne

Acne can be aggravated by what you eat, this according to Dr. Elson Hass, author of Staying Healthy with Nutrition. Many people are sensitive to sugars, wheat and chocolate - all substances that can cause more acid irritation to the body. They can cause more mucus and pus in the hair follicles, which then can clog up the pores. Internal yeast can also add to the problem - yeasts that can be found in cheeses, baked goods, and sugar.

If acne problems seem to increase after you've consumed these foods, drop them from your diet and add the healthier choices of foods high in beta-carotene like carrots, pumpkin, cantaloupe and other colorful fruits and veggies.
