“Medical nutrition therapy for acne often focuses on a diet low in refined carbohydrates and high in foods rich in omega-3-fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, and zinc to control the effects of acne prone skin” This may look like a diet rich in moisture based foods like cucumbers and kale, carbs with additional benefits like sweet potatoes, and proteins that induce more fiber like lentils and chia seeds.
The realm of health is a constant cycle of renewal, redirection, and intentional education. When making collective decisions regarding health, it becomes vital to learn how to multiply and build upon these benefits.
For example: When using a topical Vitamin C to improve wrinkles, dark spots, and the effects of aging, increasing the ingestion of Vitamin C will multiply and build upon these benefits.
Here’s a list a few household favorites and how they affect your skin from the inside out:
- Parsley for puffy eyes
- Avocados for moisture rich skin
- Cucumbers to control oily skin
- Kale to reduce inflammation
- Honey for acne

- Kale contains antioxidants that combat oxidative stress directly decreasing inflammation
- Honey is high in antibacterial & antifungal properties which heals acne
