Sugar Spike and Acne 🍩➡️😣

Sugar Spike and Acne 🍩➡️😣

How does "sugar rush" hurt the skin?

By Nurse Short Note for Beauty

1️⃣ Sugar Spike?

Time to eat dough / dessert → body changes to "glucose"

Sugar rush → pancreas secretion, insulin, large amount

If often =

⚠️ Chronic high insulin (Hyperinsulinia)

⚠️ risk "insulin resistance."

⚠️ The beginning of inflammation in the body.

And "skin" is one of the first organs to show acne.

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

2️⃣ The mechanism from sugar → acne (very easy to understand!)

Sugar Spike Acne Sequence:

1.Eat high carb → fast sugar rush

2. Very insulin secretion

3. Insulin to stimulate

▪️ Increase fat formation.

▪️ Reduce fat breakdown.

4. Fat glands produce abnormally much oil.

5. Pore clog + inflammation

6.Acne clog → Acne inflammation

If there's insulin resistance,

Inflammation is even more chronic, not easily cured.

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

3️⃣ Little sleep = pimple 🍂

Sleep deprivation for one night

Glucose removal is reduced by up to 25%.

Little Sleep → High Cortisol

→ Insulin resistance

→ Hungry for more dessert

→ Sugar Spike, repeat.

Acne cycle that many people do not know at all

💡 Trick helps sleep:

• 2 Kiwi results before bed

• A little cherry juice is extracted before dinner.

Helps adjust sleep quality + reduce inflammation

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

4️⃣ How to choose food for acne to reduce? (See GI)

Bypass High GI (> 70)

❌ White rice

❌ White bread.

❌ Donut

❌ Nectar

Select Low GI (< 55)

✅ Brown rice

✅ Soba.

✅ Boiled soybeans

✅ Apple

✅ Natural yogurt

✨ Tip:

Start the meal with "vegetables" → followed by protein → the last carb.

Helps slow the absorption of sugar.

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

5️⃣ 3 Hack Lowering Simple Sugar Spike

✔ Drink Apple Cider Vinegar 1 Sht Mix Water 10-20 Minutes Before Meal

✔ Walk 15-20 minutes after the meal.

✔ eating order (vegetable → protein → carb)

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

6️⃣ Check yourself out immediately if there's this signal.

⚠️ Black Neck / Thick Black Armpit (Acanthosis Nigricans)

= There may be insulin resistance.

Health target values to know:

• After-meal sugar 2 hours < 140 mg / dL

• HbA1c < 5.7%

• FBS 70-90 mg / dL

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

🎯 Summary from Nurse Short Note

Acne is not just a skin problem.

But it's often a "metabolic alarm."

Insulin control = Inflammation control

Inflammation Control = Sustainable Acne Control

Always treat the cause skin better than at the end. 💙
