Foods to keep in mind when dealing with skin acne ! 🖤💜
🌱 Opt Low Glycemic Index (GI) foods. GI of a food describes how sharply it raises blood sugar levels after consumption. 🍃Swap white bread with whole wheat bread. 🍃Swap refined flour with wheat flour and explore other flours ( bajra/ jowar/ ragi etc.). 🍃Consume white rice with whole pulses/ dals in equal proportions. 🌱Opt for foods high in Omega- 3 🍃 Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel etc.), flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds and walnuts. 🌱Be mindful of chocolates and dairy products. Note- Enough research hasn't been done to establish a direct connection on the impact of dairy and chocolate consumption on acne. Since results are inconclusive make sure to consume them in moderation. Note- Be regular with consumption of curd as the healthy bacteria will help in improving the microbiota of skin 😉 🚩🚩 Limit intake of fried foods and sweets 🥲🥲 Complete elimination will never help, balancing will ❤️
