How Food Could Affect Your Dry Skin
February 28th, 2010 by heart_health
Those that have to deal with psoriasis and eczema will know how tough it can be, but did you know that your diet is playing a large part in your poor skin? Now is the time to do something about it.
Tip 1- Try Taking Supplements
If you start taking some supplements every now and then, these could help your psoriasis and eczema skin conditions. The two you want to try to get are omega 3 fish oils, and blueberry leaves supplements. The fish oils contain what’s known as essential fatty acids, and these will aid your skin in repairing and regenerating itself, and also will help reduce irritation and swelling. In the sweet tasting blueberry leaves, there is a powerful acid that is considered to be a bit of well-kept secret. The blueberry antioxidant is known for helping psoriasis and eczema.
If you’re looking for more supplements that might do some good, consider Kelp. The benefit of Kelp is that it has a high alkali content and this has been known to neutralise the bad skin that psoriasis and eczema cause.
Tip 2-Love Salad
If you love salad then you won’t have a problem with this tip. It might look like rabbit food, but salad is so very good for you and it contains many natural vitamins that can aid in the skin healing process for your psoriasis and eczema. People with soft fingernails can benefit from a high salad intake too. In short, as long as you keep eating salads then you will help your body to repair itself. The body feeds off what you put into it, and your psoriasis and eczema won’t heal if you don’t feed yourself key nutrients you find in natural foods.
Perhaps you have never heard of them, but Alfalfa sprouts are great for adding to a salad to boost your well-being and skin’s appearance. Some people have called this amazing food a natural steroid! They are very high in protein, which helps the body regenerate, but contain many natural detoxification and anti oxidant agents, which can be a quick ticket away from the itchy red skin often associated with psoriasis and eczema. Also, scientists have found links between Alfalfa sprouts and preventing DNA degeneration-this means you will look younger for longer, as the aging effect is what happens as your DNA gets broken down over the years!
