According to a study published in the International Journal of Chemical Research, here are some reasons why eating palm sugar every day helps treat acne.
Contains many antioxidants and selenium
Palm sugar contains many antioxidants and selenium, which help fight free radicals in the body that can cause oxidative stress on the skin and make the skin more sensitive to damage, infections and even acne.
A rich source of magnesium
Palm sugar is a rich source of magnesium, which helps boost skin immune function and prevent acne. In addition, magnesium also has a positive impact on the endocrine system and restores hormonal balance in the body. Therefore, it has the effect of fighting acne, helping to control the skin's sebum gland that does not produce too much oil due to hormonal imbalance.
Rich in iron content
Iron deficiency can lead to lower hemoglobin levels and slow down the healing process. Therefore, if you have anemia, the extra iron from palm sugar can help reduce acne.
So if you don't have diabetes or don't have to stay away from sweets for any health reason, eat a small 25 to 50 gram bar of palm sugar after lunch every day for a non-acne and smooth skin.
