Low Glycemic Diet and Improvement of Acne Vulgaris Symptoms: Systemic Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Acne Vulgaris is a widespread condition that affects around 85% of young people. This spread of the disease among adolescent has allowed linking the disease with distinct factors one of which is diet. Our focus is to see the effect of low glycemic regimens in acne vulgaris. Method: Different databases were searched for related reviews, and these include PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane and Google Scholar from January 1, 2010, until December 31, 2016. We used a filter paper to exclude all unrelated titels then un related abstracts which left us with a total of 57 articles but only 39 articles were chosen, other articles were rejected because they were irrelevant to the study objectives. Each article was carefully read by the main author. Discussion: Many studies have found that dietary habits, fat, sugar, and fast food consumption were positively correlated with acne prevalence. These articles suggest that the increased dietary glycemic load may augment the biological activity of sex hormones and IGF-1that may aggravate potential factors involved in acne development, whereas a low glycemic load is associated with increased insulin sensitivity and higher levels of IGFBH-1 and IGFBH-3, which may reduce the factors involved in the pathogenesis of acne. In conclusion, these studies suggest high glycemic load diets and dairy products were positively associated with acne vulgaris development.
