To improve your skin health, stay away from high-glycemic, or sugary, foods. Sugary foods can cause acne breakouts and can lead to premature skin aging such as wrinkles as well. These high-glycemic foods include white bread, pasta, and potatoes. Try to stick to whole grains rather than processed ones for the health of your skin! Fast food can also cause acne because these foods are loaded with fats, calories, and refined carbohydrates.
Many fast food items are fried in oils that cause inflammation throughout your body and skin. Milk and dairy products can also damage your healthy skin. Cow’s milk can elevate your insulin levels and some brands even have growth hormones in their product that can cause harm to your skin. To obtain luminous skin: avoid high-glycemic foods, processed foods, and dairy products.
