Acne and Foods That Cause You Acne


There is a common problem between teenagers that everyone suffers from it, it is called ACNE.
Acne is a pimple outbreak at some point in live which is a normal and physiologic cycle but, HOW TO PREVENT IT?


INTRODUCTION:
Acne generally starts when secretions from the skin's sebaceous glands (oil glands) plug the tiny openings for hair follicles (plugged pores). If the openings are large, the clogs take the form of blackheads: small, flat spots with dark centers. If the openings stay small, the clogs take the form of whiteheads: small, flesh-colored bumps. Both types of plugged pores can develop into swollen, tender inflammations or pimples or deeper lumps or nodules. Nodules associated with severe cases of acne(cystic acne) are firm swellings below the skin's surface that become inflamed, tender, and sometimes infected.


Most Common Age for Acne

Acne can occur in any age group. But it is fairly common in teenagers.
Starting from the stages of puberty till the moment one is of age, there is a high risk that they can develop acne.

Other causes of acne:

  • Pressure: In some patients, pressure from helmets, chin straps, collars, suspenders, and the like can aggravate acne.
  • Drugs: Some medications may cause or worsen acne, such as those containing iodides, bromides, or oral or injected steroids.
  • Occupations: In some jobs, exposure to industrial products like cutting oils may produce acne.
  • Cosmetics: Some cosmetics and skin-care products are pore clogging ("comedogenic").
Acne's treatment
"The best doctor give the least medicine to the patient" says Benjamin Franklin.
Many doctors today says that, Prevention is Better than the Treatment, and so it is. But if you have pimple on your face first determine which foods cause it and stop using them for example your reaction might be with dry-fruits or maybe with hot-pepper, when you found the cause of your food and stopped eating it; try to keep your face dry for some day or maybe one week (if your face is oily). If you noticed the changes know that by continuing this method you won't have more pimples after a month BUT, if it is not worked you need to get some ointment medicine for it but NEVER EVER TRY TO TAKE MEDICINES WITHOUT YOUR DOCTOR'S PERMIT. 

One Important thing that you should never ever do it is squeezing your pimples.

What To Eat Instead
 While the foods discussed above may contribute to the development of acne, there are other foods and nutrients that may help keep your skin clear. These include:
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory, and regular consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of developing acne.
  • Probiotics: Probiotics promote a healthy gut and balanced microbiome, which is linked to reduced inflammation and a lower risk of acne development.
  • Green tea: Green tea contains polyphenols that are associated with reduced inflammation and lowered sebum production. Green tea extracts have been found to reduce acne severity when applied to the skin.
  • Turmeric: Turmeric contains the anti-inflammatory polyphenol curcumin, which can help regulate blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity and inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria, which may reduce acne.
  • Vitamins A, D, E and zinc: These nutrients play crucial roles in skin and immune health and have been found to prevent acne.
  • Paleolithic-style diets: Paleo diets are rich in lean meats, fruits, vegetables and nuts and low in grains, dairy and legumes. They have been associated with lower blood sugar and insulin levels.

Look After Your Teeth More (Tips For Healthy Teeth)

Here are some tips to help you look after your teeth. Brush at least twice a day.  The best time to brush teeth is after meals. Choose a toothbrush with a small head for better access to back teeth. Soft bristles are kinder on your gums.  How To Brush Your Teeth Correctly Use fluoridated toothpaste.  Fluoride helps to harden tooth enamel and reduces your risk of decay.  How To Floss Your Teeth Correctly Brush thoroughly.  Tooth brushing should take between two and three minutes. Floss your teeth daily.  Use a slow and gentle sawing motion. Limit acidic drinks like soft drinks, cordials and fruit juices.  Food acids soften tooth material and dissolve the minerals in tooth enamel, causing holes (cavities or caries).

Protect your teeth from injury.  Wear a mouthguard or full-face helmet when playing sports. Try to save a knocked out tooth.  If poss

Yanny or Laurel? Why This Happen?

First of all watch this video: While some people claim to hear the word "Laurel" in the clip, others say they hear "Yanny." The Clip has been shared thousands of times, and people around the world – including celebrities Chrissy Teigen, Mindy Kaling and, of course, Yanni – have weighed in on what they hear.  The internet erupted in disagreement on Tuesday over an audio clip in which the name being said depends on the listener. Some hear “Laurel.” Others hear “Yanny.” The clip and original “Yanny or Laurel” poll were posted on Instagram, Reddit and other sites by high school students who said that it had been recorded from a vocabulary website playing through the speakers on a computer. One detail may frustrate some and vindicate others: The original clip came from the  vocabulary.com  page for “laurel,” the word for a wreath worn on the head, “usually a symbol of victory.” One way to understand the dynamics at work is to look at a type of chart called a
