Every year during the pre-Easter fasting period between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday is the ideal opportunity to change your diet. Not only is excess body fat reduced, but the skin also benefits.
Losing weight is the number one topic when you think of fasting, but changing your diet can significantly improve the appearance of your skin. Even if you only fast for a few weeks. Reducing your intake of certain carbohydrates such as white bread and sweets and also avoiding alcohol and nicotine can quickly have a positive effect on the appearance of your skin.
Dr. Anne Hundgeburth from the Professional Association of German Dermatologists explains that a change in diet is about keeping blood sugar levels low. This is because the blood sugar corresponds to a high insulin level, which in turn leads to an increase in growth hormones. This in turn stimulates the production of androgens, which leads to increased sebum production in the skin. Blackheads are the result.

A few years ago, it was believed that the basis of the diet should consist of carbohydrate-containing foods, but this view is now outdated. Today, fruit, vegetables and animal protein from poultry and fish form the basis of modern nutrition. Slow carbohydrates” such as potatoes, pasta, rice and wholemeal bread serve as a supplement. However, these should not form the basis.
“Slow carbohydrates” in combination with fresh fruit are the ideal foods to satisfy sweet cravings and the right choice to promote healthy skin.
Not only people with healthy skin, but especially patients with acne, neurodermatitis and rosacea. Not so long ago, it was disputed that there was an acne diet that would improve the appearance of the skin. The above recommendations are particularly beneficial for acne patients.
To avoid new blackheads and keep sebum production low, “fast carbohydrates” should be avoided. An excessively high glycemic index in foods made from sugar or white flour is one of the causes of the late form of acne, acne tarda.
The intake of fast carbohydrates also causes the bacteria that colonize the skin to multiply more quickly, which is particularly dangerous for neurodermatitis patients. A large number of germs can trigger new flare-ups of atopic dermatitis if the skin barrier is impaired. All in all, a change in diet has a positive effect on everyone.
