Our body is a unique entity where everything affects everything as the body seeks its balance. Understanding the whole will help you make better choices about your diet and your whole lifestyle. There is little need to differentiate between the nutrition of the skin and the body, as a colorful and unprocessed diet and a balanced lifestyle take care of the skin as well as the body and mind.
Glycemic load
The glycemic load indicates the quality and quantity of carbohydrates. Foods with a high glycemic index, ie fasting carbons that are quickly absorbed by the body, easily increase the daily glycemic load. A high glycemic load is believed to have by far the most significant nutritional detrimental effect on the skin.
