Do Roasted Peanuts Cause Acne?

Many people wonder what the active cause for acne to occur on an
individual really is a result from and some folks even attribute it to
roasted peanuts. The truth is acne, zits and blackheads can be caused from
a variety of reasons. Your diet is really just one small piece of the acne
causing problems. Other factors include exercise, cosmetics, diet,
hormones, hygiene, medications, shaving and stress. For the subject of
this article I’ll stick with the diet portion and how it can influence
your resistance or encouragement of acne.
Studies show that diet does not play a role in either the cause or the
treatment of acne. However, what is recommended for acne preventative care
is a healthy diet along with a vitamin regimen that should prevent any
sort of zit or blackhead outbreak. Here is a small list of healthy
vitamins, minerals and other supplements that have been known and
recommended to prevent and help conquer acne breakouts:
Vitamin A,
Vitamin B Complex,
Vitamin C,
Vitamin
E,
L-Carnitine and
Zinc
In terms of diet the following measures can be taken with the hope of
preventing an acne outbreak or at the very least minimizing further
outbreaks of zits and blackheads. It’s recommended that you add more
fruits, veggies, seeds and nuts to your regular diet. This can be
accomplished by eating more salads, dried fruit and nut snacks and by
drinking more juices.
It is recommended that you decrease your daily intake of caffeine,
sugar and refined carbohydrates. There have been some clinical studies
showing that caffeine can increase the levels of stress hormones inside
your body, provoking or worsening acne conditions. This means you should
cut back on your consumption of tea, coffee, chocolate and other beverages
containing caffeine. The same advice goes for sugar and refined carbs. For
instance white bread, rice, flour, and pasta can result in an insulin
surge, resulting further in an excess of male hormones that stimulate skin
to discharge lots of sebum, which in turn leads to clogged pores allowing
bacteria to grow and acne to appear.
Finally it is also recommended that you decrease your dietary intake of
red meat and dairy products. Since both are more difficult for our bodies
to digest and some researchers say that when the body puts forth an
increased effort in the digestion of high levels of animal protein, waste
products are not completely processed as usual, instead they can shed
slowly, blocking pores, causing acne.
Hopefully these few diet tips will help in your quest to stop the
appearance of acne, zits and blackheads. And remember it hasn’t really
been proven that roasted peanuts cause acne.
