Nmami Agarwal often shares different health-related tips through videos on Instagram. She discusses the connection between the glycemic index of food and acne. Speaking about it, she says there are certain food items that increase blood sugar levels more quickly than others. She states when blood sugar rises, it causes blood to release insulin-like growth factor-1 hormone. Now, if this is released in abundance, it causes oil glands to produce more sebum, further increasing the risk of developing acne and inflammation. She also suggests that food items with low GI, can improve and prevent acne. While food items like white rice, white bread, pasta, and sugar have a high GI, whole grains, unprocessed fruits and vegetables, and legumes are low GI foods.
