You have heard many times of the foods that can give you glowing skin. But you may not be aware of the fact that some foods can harm your skin as well.
Here are the food habits you should avoid in order to have glowing skin.
CARBS
Diets that are full of refined carbohydrates and sweets such as bread, candy, pasta, soda and juice can cause acne. These type of foods have the tendency to increase blood sugar levels, unleashing hormones that stimulate oil production and make pore-clogging skin cells shed faster
TOO MUCH SALT
Worried about those puffy eyes and dark circles under your eyes? Blame your sodium intake. It is said that too much sodium can cause puffiness and facial bloating. Salt causes tissues to swell, making your face seem puffy and tired. Plus, iodized salt (in high doses) has been proved to increase acne breakouts.
GETTING RID OF HEALTHY FATS
If you’re trying to eat healthy, remember to keep good fats in your diet. There are certain healthy fats (like the omega-3 fatty acids) that our skin requires to maintain hydration, and since our body can’t produce them on its own, we have to get it from foods like walnuts, soybeans and fatty fish like salmon. These fats help prevent wrinkles, inflammation, dry skin and acne.
OVERDOSE OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
Dairy is one healthy diet we all swear by. But just like alcohol, too much of dairy can be unhealthy sometimes. Studies have suggested milk can cause pimples, whiteheads and blackheads in people prone to acne. A hormone found in milk is said to stimulate the production of pore-clogging skin cells. People prone to hormonal acne should avoid or limit their dairy intake.
COFFEE
It’s hard to avoid coffee, altogether. But one should be aware that 2-3 cups of caffeinated beverages can lead to increased cortisol in your body.
