Get ready to revolutionize your diet and unlock the secret to skin that's as flawless as it deserves to be. Let's dive in. Skin tags are an interesting topic. Many people believe that because they appear in skin folds, they are caused by friction around the neck, armpits, groin, and beneath the breasts. However, despite their prevalence in skin folds, they are not caused by rubbing. Many cases of skin tags occur when the affected area is not subjected to friction. For example, many people develop skin tags on their eyelids. The cause of skin tags is actually our diet and the foods we consume. When we make the right changes to our diet and lifestyle, many people notice that their skin tags shrink and often disappear entirely, eliminating the need for topical removal. And as we progress through the video, we'll explain why the foods we'll be discussing today cause skin tags. And make sure to stick around until the end because number 5 is something that most people have in their pantry and use on a regular basis without realizing it could be So let's get started with the list. Number 1. Dried Fruit. We're going to start with a food that many people believe is a healthy snack, but it's anything but. Dried fruit is fruit that has had its moisture removed, resulting in a concentrated source of sugar with virtually no nutrients. But, how does this relate to skin tags? Skin tags are strongly associated with People who have frequent blood sugar spikes are more likely to have skin tags, which is why diabetics frequently have skin tags, often multiples of them. It all boils down to frequent blood sugar spikes, which require a lot of insulin. And when insulin is constantly pumped out, insulin levels remain elevated, which is what causes skin tags. Insulin is a growth hormone. When insulin levels are high, things in our bodies grow, including skin tags. So anything we can do to reduce our blood sugar spikes and lower our insulin will help our skin tags disappear and prevent new ones from forming. But wait, I'm sure many of you are thinking, but my fasting blood sugar is normal, and I have skin tags, how can they be related? Even if your blood sugar is normal right now, you may still experience frequent blood sugar spikes throughout the day. According to a 2018 study, 80% of healthy people, including those without prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, experience blood sugar spikes in the prediabetic range. And with blood sugar spiking so frequently, insulin levels will also be high. However, because fasting insulin is not routinely tested, many people are unaware that even if their fasting blood sugar is considered normal, their fasting insulin may be elevated. Now, back to dry fruit. Many people believe that because fruit contains natural sugars, it is healthy. But the truth is that the body cannot tell the difference. Yes, there are different types of sugar, but your body processes them in the same way, whether they come from fruit or candy. And, especially if you eat dried fruit on its own, this will cause a significant spike in blood sugar, insulin, and contribute to the development of skin tags. Number 2. Oatmeal. This is another food that many people believe is healthy. They believe they are making a wise decision when they choose oatmeal for breakfast. Unfortunately, it can cause skin tags, which is especially problematic because many people eat it in the morning on an empty stomach. If you were wondering whether oatmeal was low in sugar, the answer is yes. But allow me to explain. A cup of oatmeal has only 1 gram of sugar, but it also contains 27 grams of carbohydrates. And when we eat carbohydrates, they are broken down into sugar, which enters the bloodstream and raises our blood sugar levels. When this occurs, our pancreas secretes insulin, which removes excess sugar from our bloodstream and transports it to our cells, bringing our blood sugar back into a normal range. The point is that high-carbohydrate foods require a lot of insulin to process, which is amplified when consumed on an empty stomach. Now, there are ways to eat oatmeal that are slightly better when combined with protein and fat, such as adding Greek yogurt or eating it with eggs. The protein and fat will help to slow digestion, reducing blood sugar spikes and the need for insulin. However, you should aim to begin your day with a meal that is low in carbohydrates and high in protein and fat. Eggs, bacon, avocado, and Greek yogurt are all high in protein and fat and make excellent breakfast options. Starting your day with these foods will help keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day. It will help you keep your insulin levels low and reduce your skin tags. Number 3. Juice. Next, we have fruit juice, which, whether store-bought or homemade, may be contributing to your skin tags. We've already discussed why dried fruit isn't ideal, and the same goes for juice, only juice is worse. At the very least, dried fruit contains some fiber, which helps to slow the spike down slightly. Juice lacks this, so the blood sugar and insulin spike is even more significant. When you combine that with the fact that 1 cup of orange juice contains approximately 3 oranges and 25 grams of sugar, it becomes a blood sugar, insulin, and skin tag nightmare. If you want to include fruit in your diet, I always recommend eating it whole, and when possible, choose lower sugar options like strawberries, blueberries, and avocado. Making these decisions will help your skin tags to disappear. Number 4. Whole Wheat Bread. Now this is an intriguing one. People have the misconception that whole wheat bread is healthier than white bread. Yes, it contains slightly more nutrients and is slightly better for blood sugar, but not by much. You're better off skipping or reducing the bread. Modern Western diets are based on bread and grain products such as cereal, sandwiches, and pizza. We consume these grain-based foods on a regular basis, and reducing them wherever possible is beneficial. Or, as previously mentioned, pair whole wheat bread with fat and protein. This will slow down digestion and reduce the blood sugar and insulin spike. Less insulin means fewer skin tags, and those you do have will begin to shrink. Number 5. Canola Oil. This is the last food, if you can call it that, on our list. Canola oil has been sold to us as a heart-healthy cooking oil, but it is anything but. While the exact mechanism is unknown, vegetable oils, including canola oil, have been linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, which causes skin tags. Because of the type of fat they contain, oils like canola are extremely fragile. When they are exposed to heat, light, or oxygen, they become rancid, and consuming rancid oils causes severe inflammation in the body. Manufacturers now know that they go rancid. They go rancid during processing because they require high heat to extract from the plant, which is why they taste and smell like nothing, as they have been completely stripped of their flavor and odor to conceal the fact that they are rancid. Coconut oil, tallow, and ghee are healthier cooking options. Olive oil and avocado oil are also suitable for low temperatures. They are still fragile, falling somewhere between canola oil and coconut oil. Oils that are solid at room temperature have the highest heat stability. They are the least likely to oxidize and become rancid. All vegetable oils, including canola oil, soybean oil, and rice bran oil, are the most fragile. Avocado oil and olive oil are good choices because they fall in the middle, but they should be used at room temperature or for low-temperature cooking. I have a full video explaining why canola oil and vegetable oils are bad for our health and cause skin tags and other diseases, which I'll link to above if you want to learn more. However, as we discussed today, they can also cause insulin resistance and skin tags. Anyway, that's all I've got for you today. I hope you enjoyed the video.
