Your skin is one of the most important organs of your body. In fact, it is the largest organ, and one that is visible to everyone in front of you. The internal state of your body is clearly reflected on your skin. So when you are eating bad food or haven’t slept well, your skin shows it instantly by appearing dull. On the other hand, when you eat good food, exercise well and get enough rest, then your skin automatically glows and shows that you are internally fit and healthy.
Here is a list of the worst possible foods for your skin that make it appear bad and cause problems.
1. Processed Foods
Yes, canned and tinned foods do make our life easy and help us to cook our meals faster. However, it’s high time you realize that most of these processed foods contain high amounts of additives and preservatives that increase the sugar content in the body and cause the hormones to produce more oil, thereby leading to acne. In fact, such preserved foods also make your skin appear duller and lifeless because of lack of fresh nutrients in them.
2. Caffeine
Even though they say that having coffee in the morning helps to reduce puffiness under your eyes and makes you look and feel fresh for that early meeting, consuming caffeine everyday is not exactly very good for your skin. It dehydrates your skin and causes dryness. More than that, it makes your skin appear extremely dull and lifeless.
3. Sugar
Too much sugar causes body balances to go haywire and leads to acne breakouts. You must cut down on your sugar intake if you want a good skin. If you are fond of sweet things, then consume natural substitutes instead, such as fruits, dates, fresh juices, coconut water etc.
4. Chips and packaged snacks
Too much of salt and preservatives in chips and other similar packaged snacks lead to water retention in the body, which not only makes you look bloated and swollen, but causes problems of wrinkles and acne. Avoid consuming such food items as much as possible, especially because too much of salt is unhealthy for consumption and doesn’t support good body balances.
5. Fast Foods
Fast foods such as pastas, pizzas, French Fries etc. pile up the carbs in your body and slow down the metabolism. They not only add to your weight, but cause problems in the blood stream and increase the cholesterol levels. Your skin obviously doesn’t get a healthy blood supply and therefore becomes oily, leading to various skin problems.
A lot of people have a misconception that they can repair their damaged skin with the help of toners, creams, face washes and other kinds of beauty products. However, it is vital for them to realize that the skin needs its nutrition in a natural form, and not by external application of cosmetics. The more you improve your diet and the quality of the food you consume, the better will be the state of your skin. You will look younger and more beautiful, effortlessly.
