So a friend of mine who is in the health profession sent me an interesting article about some foods that might cause acne. This isn’t necessarily a home remedy that you can apply, but it might be a step that you can take that will help with your acne problems.
He started off telling me that people should avoid foods high in fat (no surprise there). However, he then started listing some types of meat that we should eat and some that we should not eat as frequently. I thought it was important that he didn’t say not to eat these meats at all, but to limit our intake of them.
The Omega 6 meats and foods (beef, chicken, pork, peanut butter, and nuts) are the meats that we should try to limit ourselves on. He didn’t say to avoid meats altogether—that would be nearly impossible for me (yes it’s something I need to work on)—he said that we should try to eat more of the Omega -3 meats and foods such as fish, walnuts, and avocados. I thought this was interesting because where I live most people eat a lot more chicken and beef than they do fish. How avoiding bad meat as one of the more popular natural remedies for acne?
What I find funny about most home remedies for acne is that they usually consist of common sense. The health profession has been telling us for years that we should reduce the amount of meat that we are ingesting and that we should turn to more healthy meats like fish.
I’m still thoroughly convinced that the best way to manage acne is to do all of the little things right and then combine that with a good home remedy for acne (or natural remedy for acne) that works for you. If you are regularly exercising, eating healthy, sleeping well, and applying acne home remedies then I’m convinced that your acne condition will improve. Yes I believe that there are advanced medicines out there that might help you get rid of your acne without having to live a healthy lifestyle. But do you really want that? Wouldn’t it be better to be healthy and not have acne? Just some Food for thought (literally).
