Eating Vegetables Helps Curb Acne

Another Reason to Eat Veggies: Less Acne

February 25, 2010

If you're looking for inspiration to improve your diet, I have yet another reason to eat veggies: clearer skin. A study published in BMC Public Health found that women who ate five servings of veggies daily had 30 percent fewer pimples. If that isn't incentive to chomp on a carrot, I don't know what is. If you're interested in other tips for eating to improve your complexion, check out these ways feed your skin.

actually it is not only acne that can be cured and stopped by veggies, it can also give you a beautiful skin, healthy hair all in all a very pleasant living.

I noticed an improvement in my skin when I became a vegetarian. 5 years later, my skin is still clear a majority of the time. :)

I very very sadly, have not found this to be the case, my diet has always revolved around loads fruit and veg as staples (and there was a time when it was practically the only stuff I ate) but my skin never improved

I've noticed this too. Ever since I started eating a ton of fruits and veggies, my skin has gotten amazingly clear. Must be all the phytonutrients that are in them.

This is true... plus they give you a healthy glow! TADOW.. when I went vegan 10 years ago I noticed the same thing... in addition to shinier hair that grows super fast.

This is very true. Since going vegetarian seven years ago the acne I used to have all over my forehead has gotten a lot better. It's not cured by any means, like I get a bump every once in a while (who doesn't) but it is a non issue now. I really do contribute that to a better lifestyle and consuming way more veggies.
