[About Info: Some Foods That Can Trigger Acne]
Hello Nutrilicious!
Meet again with Giziklopedia in May.
Approximately on this occasion, what are we going to discuss?
Well, this time Giziklopedia will discuss some foods that cause acne.
Wow, what kind of food? Curious, right?
Let’s just look at the explanation!
Acne is often associated with dirty and oily skin conditions and often occurs in adolescents. However, did you know that many factors can cause acne? Well, one of them is the food factor that we will discuss in Nutritionchloropedia this time.
Acne or commonly also called acne vulgaris is a skin disorder in the form of chronic inflammation of the pilosebased follicles, and usually arises due to hormonal changes. The hormone that affects acne is insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) which acts on the sebaceous glands and affects the increase in lipid production in sebocytes and can increase acexone through induction of keratinocyte proliferation and epidermal hyperplasia.1
Skin disorders caused by acne do not have a fatal effect, but their negative effects can create permanent scarring on the face, chest, or back, as well as create feelings of poor self-image, anxiety, and depression.2
Many factors cause acne, including skin hygiene, weather, hormones, physical and mental, bacteria, cosmetics, and heredity. In addition, foods that have certain ingredients are also one of the factors causing acne.3,4
Some foods have ingredients that can cause acne, among others.
- Dairy Products
The first food that can trigger the onset of acne is consumed in excess, that is milk or other processed products made from milk.
Milk is mainly skimmed milk or dairy products such as cheese, cream, ice cream, yogurt, and others that contain complete dietary substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. In addition, milk or other dairy products also contain sixty growth factors, one of which can increase IGF-1 directly through an imbalance of increased serum insulin levels and blood sugar. As already explained that IGF-1 can increase acne through induction of keratinocyte proliferation and hyperplasia of the epidermis. Additionally, IGF-1 is a stimulus for acnegenesis mediated by hyperinsulinemia’s response to liquid milk.5
2, High-Fat Foods
Foods that are high in fat, for example, such as nuts, fried foods, cheese, milk, and the like, are one of the external factors that trigger the onset of acne if consumed in excess6. Fats found in food can increase levels of sebum composition.2 Increased levels of sebum (oil glands) have a function to help prevent the skin from drying out. However, environmental factors such as dust and dirt will stick to oily skin more easily than dry skin types, so oily skin is likely to develop acne more easily.6
- High-Sugar Foods
The next foods that can cause acne are foods with high sugar content.
Foods are high in sugar such as sweets, cream, sweet bread, soda, and others. Excessive sugar consumption can have an impact on increasing body weight. The occurrence of an increase in body weight is at risk of obesity, namely the occurrence of excess energy in the body which is then stored in the form of fatty tissue. High-fat buildup in the body can lead to insulin resistance.7
Insulin levels are one of the factors that can affect IGF-1 levels in the blood. Imbalances in insulin and blood sugar levels can increase IGF-1.5 levels As already explained, IGF-1 levels affect the growth of the sebaceous glands and increase lipid production, and can increase acexion through induction of keratinocyte proliferation and epidermal hyperplasia.1
Well, those are some foods that can trigger acne on the skin. However, the consumption of one food or limiting one another food may not have a direct impact on acne. This is because, in addition to dietary factors, many other factors can affect a person prone to acne.
Nevertheless, we can do several ways to prevent acne, such as carrying out a healthy lifestyle, limiting foods that contain high sugar and milk, consuming enough fruit and water, and so on.
