Dermatologists have long pawned the theory that food has absolutely nothing to do with acne.
They have a vested interested in maintaining the validity of this claim.
How are they to make money if their patients, a good chunk of them acne sufferers, no longer require their services? Lip pimples are but one type of acne that can be caused by a poor diet.
They tend to show up on your skin unexplained, which means they are caused by some internal disruption.
This usually means hormonal fluctuations.
In many parts of the world, the Western diet has become the status quo.
Breads, dairy products, and sweets and more prevalent around the globe than over.
Although we may be living longer lifetimes as a whole, rates of disease have skyrocketed.
One big concern with the Western diet is the amount of sugary foods we consume.
Acne is but one of the byproducts to be had from consuming such large quantities of sugar.
Things like bread and candy cause an immense spike in our insulin levels, which in turn causes a hormonal imbalance.
This can lead to conditions like diabetes, which is a far cry from acne.
So what is one to do to keep their skin clean and prevent any future onset of disease? The best approach is substitute simple carbohydrates in your diet, with things like complex carbs and vegetables.
Dairy is also a good choice, just be sure not to overdo it.
Dairy products like milk often contain hormones that can also trigger outbreaks, so any consumption is best limited.
