If goldfish could fulfill at least one of our wishes – to eat fast food, sweet and spicy, not to gain weight or spoil the skin – we would be the happiest people in the world. But unfortunately we live in reality, not in a fairy tale, so we continue to investigate which eating habits cause acne, puffiness and wrinkles. We talked about this with an expert.

How do you know if your skin responds to nutrition?
Many factors affect the condition of our skin, but the connection with nutrition is difficult to overestimate. Disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract appear on the skin in the form of inflammatory elements, pigmentation, dryness and peeling areas. Changes occur differently for everyone – from several days to a month, depending on the general state of health, metabolism and the presence of certain deficiencies. The cumulative effect will occur sooner or later.
You can see if your skin is responding to your diet by trying the elimination method. Of course, if other factors in skin care have not changed (cosmetics, procedures, climate).
3 eating habits that cause acne
The condition of the skin is affected by the food we eat at night and the amount of meals, rather than a late dinner.
fast food
It is manifested primarily by increased sebum production, the appearance of inflammatory elements and exacerbation of acne. In the short term, salty and fatty foods cause bloating, but over time, the tone deteriorates and wrinkles appear.
excessively sweet
Snacking on sweets and sugary drinks will sooner or later lead to a “tired” face. Sugars destroy collagen and other biologically active substances, causing premature aging. Recently, even the term “sugar face” has emerged. This is a series of changes in the skin caused by high blood sugar levels. Gradually, due to general dullness (puffiness), the skin tone becomes dull, tone and elasticity decrease, swelling under the eyes, “bags”, rashes appear on the chin and temples.
strict diet
It is often restrictive, unbalanced, and leads to nutrient, vitamin, and mineral deficiencies. Therefore, over time, the skin may lose its resources – become dehydrated, flaking, acne and pigmentation may appear.
The conclusion is simple: skin health is inextricably linked with the health of the whole body. Therefore, a rational and varied diet (animal and vegetable proteins, unsaturated fats, fiber, adequate intake of salt and sugar) will help our microbiota and the skin will look beautiful and healthy.
