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 regiment 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.
