Hello, I am a 23 years old male. I am undergoing acne treatment. Doctors asked me to follow a diet for effective treatment. I don’t know what I should avoid. Can anyone suggest a diet or food that I should avoid if I have acne?

@sahil-sharma Hello, Acne occurs when the skin’s pores clog up with dead skin cells, excess oil, and sometimes bacteria. During puberty, hormones often cause oil glands to produce excess oil, which increases acne risks. One thing that can affect your skin is diet. Certain foods raise your blood sugar level. When your blood sugar rises quickly, it causes the body to release a hormone called insulin. Having excess insulin in your blood can cause your oil glands to produce more oil, increasing your risks of acne. Eating low-glycemic foods made of complex carbohydrates may reduce your risk of developing acne. Include the following food in your diet-
- Tomatoes
- Blueberries
- Brown rice
- Pumpkin seeds
- Beans, peas, and lentils
- Nuts
- Include drinks like green tea
The best diet advice in dealing with acne appears to be eating a wholesome, balanced diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy protein sources, and whole grains.
