Endocrine disorders cause acne on the face

When it comes to endocrine disorders, I believe many people are familiar with it, because for ordinary people like us, we all encounter endocrine disorders in many cases. Endocrine disorders have a great impact on our normal life, and there are usually many symptoms caused by endocrine disorders, and acne on the face is one of the more common ones. So, what should you do if you have acne on your face due to endocrine disorders?

For most people, they will experience acne on their faces in their lifetime, and there may be many reasons for acne on the face, and endocrine disorders are one of them. It is quite common to get acne on the face due to endocrine disorders. So, let’s talk about the solution to acne on the face due to endocrine disorders.

Nutritional conditioning

There are many reasons for the occurrence of acne, but improper diet, excessive consumption of fatty, sweet, greasy, spicy and other irritating foods, which lead to abnormal secretion of sebaceous glands, are also the main causes of the disease. Therefore, dietary treatment of acne is very important. First of all, we need to change our bad eating habits, eat more vegetables and fruits that can promote the blood in the body to become alkaline, and eat less high-fat, high-sugar and irritating foods. The dietary principles are:

(1) Change your eating habits. As explained in detail before, the occurrence of acne is mainly related to sebum secretion, so you should eat less food that can stimulate sebum secretion, such as fried food, fatty meat, cream, sweets, etc. In addition, you should try to control the intake of irritating foods, such as wine, onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, pepper, coriander, etc.

(2) Adjust digestive tract function. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that poor digestive function, dampness and heat in the spleen and stomach can cause the skin to become more susceptible to acne. Therefore, keeping bowel movements smooth is beneficial to the excretion of dampness, heat and toxicity. You should develop the habit of daily bowel movements and eat more coarse grains and foods rich in fiber, such as celery, leeks, bamboo shoots, beans, loofah, cabbage, etc. If you suffer from long-term constipation, you can drink a small amount of senna leaves or cassia seeds in water every day.

(3) Eat more fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables can promote the blood in the body to become weakly alkaline, especially fruits and vegetables that help reduce sebum secretion and promote acne healing, such as apples, pears, tomatoes, watermelons, cucumbers, loofahs, winter melons, bitter melons, etc., but be careful to eat less high-sugar fruits such as lychees, oranges, durians, and hot fruits such as longans. Dietary conditioning is a basic method for preventing and treating acne. Specifically, you should pay attention to the following dietary taboos:

It is advisable to eat foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin B group. Vitamin A is beneficial to the proliferation of epithelial cells, can prevent keratinization of hair follicles, eliminate acne, regulate the function of skin sweat glands, and reduce the irritation of acidic metabolites to the epidermis. Foods rich in vitamin A include animal liver, day lily, carrots, broccoli, shepherd's purse, spinach, etc. Vitamin B2 can promote the biological oxidation process within cells and participate in the metabolism of sugar, protein and fat. Animal offal, lean meat, milk, eggs, mushrooms and green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamin B2. Vitamin B6 participates in the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids and helps prevent and treat acne. Foods rich in vitamin B6 include egg yolks, lean meat, fish, nuts, beans and potatoes. It is advisable to eat foods rich in zinc. Foods rich in zinc can also control the secretion of sebaceous glands and reduce cell shedding and keratinization, such as lean meat, oysters, sea cucumbers, eggs, eggplant, potatoes, walnut kernels, sunflower seeds, apples, etc.

Avoid eating fatty, sweet and greasy foods. According to traditional Chinese medicine, acne is caused by overeating of fatty and sweet foods, which aggravates internal heat, leading to damp heat in the lungs and stomach that stagnates in the skin. Therefore, it is best to eat less foods rich in fat, such as animal fat, fish oil, animal brains, egg yolks, animal offal, sesame seeds, peanuts, etc.

Avoid spicy or hot foods. Spicy and hot foods can irritate the body and often lead to recurrence of acne. Such foods as wine, strong tea, coffee, chili pepper, garlic, leek, dog meat, bird meat, shrimp, etc. are not suitable for consumption. In addition, sweet and warm foods, such as mutton, chicken, pumpkin, longan, chestnut, carp, silver carp, etc. should also be eaten less.

Avoid eating fishy or hairy foods. Fishy things can often cause allergies and worsen the disease, and often expand the chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands and make it difficult to eliminate. Therefore, fishy and smelly things must be avoided, especially seafood, such as marine fish, shrimp, crab, hairtail, etc. Meat with hot properties, such as mutton and dog meat, can also cause

Heat accumulation aggravates the condition.

Avoid high-sugar foods. When the human body consumes high-sugar foods, the body's metabolism will become vigorous and the secretion of sebaceous glands will increase, causing acne to appear continuously. Therefore, patients should avoid high-sugar foods, such as white sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar, glucose, chocolate, ice cream, etc.

In short, food supplements are worse than medicine supplements. Traditional Chinese medicine places special emphasis on increasing skin nutrition through diet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "sour and sweet can transform yin", that is, acidic and sweet things combined can promote the growth of yin fluid, so people with dry skin can eat more sweet and sour vegetables and fruits. Most acne patients have internal heat, so they should choose more foods that have the effects of cooling, removing heat, promoting body fluid and moistening dryness. Avoid eating fatty, sweet and greasy foods.

In fact, there are many ways to solve acne on the face caused by endocrine disorders, and the most common ones are medication and diet. Of course, the healthiest method is dietary adjustment. The specific dietary methods and principles have been introduced in detail in the above article. I believe most people should have already understood it. So when we all face acne due to endocrine disorders in the future, we might as well try the above dietary therapy to solve it.
