Eat right to keep your complexion clear

Face it: A bad diet can have ugly consequences. Scientists at New York University report that high-glycemic foods, such as rice, potatoes, bread, and sugary snacks and drinks, may contribute to acne.

A diet loaded with sugars and starches causes a rise in insulin and blood glucose, which may influence hormones and other proteins that make break­outs worse, the researchers say. For a healthy face (and body), limit your carb intake to no more than 40 percent of your total daily calories and eliminate high-glycemic foods, says Valerie Berkowitz, M.S., R.D., director of nutrition at the Center for Bal­anced Health in New York City.
