ACNE an inflammatory disease


One of the primary and most effective way to control this sub-clinical (invisible to the eye)

Inflammation on a cellular level is through diet. The key to anti-inflammatory diet is that it has been designed to prevent a rapid rise in blood sugar. Different foods are converted to sugar at varying rates. When our blood sugar and insulin level rise, whether from a poor diet or from stress, we experience a serious increase in inflammatory chemicals at a cellular level.

Be aware, stress also precipitates acne by elevating levels of cortisol, a stress hormone and other

adrenal steroids can act as androgens (male hormones) and stimulate the sebaceous (oil) glands resulting in a flare-up of acne.
