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.

Avoid these:

  • pastries
  • candies / chocolate
  • soda / juices
  • white rice
  • potatoes
  • white bread
  • sugar

Favor these:

  • whole grain products
  • beans / lentils / peas
  • fruit plate
  • berries
  • vegetables
  • roots

Dairy products

Dairy products are not suitable for everyone’s body and omitting them may also calm the symptomatic skin. Eliminate all dairy products from your diet for eight weeks and watch if you notice a change in your skin. Unlike the glycemic load, simply reducing dairy products is often not a clear help for skin problems. So commit to complete dairy-free for a moment to see the potential benefits.

Thus, a diet for the well-being of the skin is ultimately very similar to nutritional recommendations for the benefit of health in general. What better way than to double the benefits of filing your diet according to these two factors; feeling good and glowing skin!
