One of the physical changes that occur in girls and boys during adolescence is acne.
With rapid growth during adolescence, the body increases the release of fat and accordingly, teenage acne increases on the face and other parts of the body.
>It is possible to protect skin health by consuming foods that cause acne in adolescence in limited amounts and drinking lots of water.
Here are the foods and drinks that cause acne
1 -Sugar: Foods containing sugar such as cakes, cakes, cookies, wafers and chocolate cause blood sugar to rise quickly and then drop again. In the face of rapidly falling blood sugar, the body becomes vulnerable to inflammation and inflammation increases. This situation causes an increase in the number of acne. Do not consume more than one of these foods per week.
2-White flour: Since bread, pastries, pasta and breakfast cereals made from white flour have high glycemic indexes (speed of raising blood sugar), the excess carbohydrates taken into the body turn into fat. This causes acne to increase. Consume whole wheat products instead of white flour.
3-Sugary drinks: Acidic drinks and fruit juices containing sugar also cause teenage acne. Too much sugar turns into fat in the body, which can cause an increase in acne on the face and other areas. Drinking water instead of sugary drinks increases the elasticity and brightness of the skin.
4-Fast food: Fast food foods containing trans fat, such as hamburgers, french fries, onion rings and fried chicken, which are commonly consumed among young people, cause inflammation in the body. It increases acne. At the same time, these foods, which cause excess fat in the body due to their high calorie content, also have high salt content. Instead, home-cooked restaurants and grills should be preferred. If you like fast food, you should consume it at most once a month.
5-Salty foods: Foods with high salt content, such as chips, canned food, and pickles, cause acne because they cause dehydration (water loss) on the skin. Instead of adding salt to your egg in the morning. Balance it with the salt of the cheese. If you have the habit of adding additional salt to the food without tasting it, give up. After eating something salty, increase your water consumption.
