Healthy food habits go a long way in maintaining the inner balance of health. A healthy state reflects a glowing skin because the skin is just a reflection of our internal body. So what can we do maintain this inner balance so as to have a perfect skin? Here are some diet tips which help in good skin care.
Acne
One must make sure they consume a well-balanced diet with the right amount of calories and nutrients.
Vitamin A - Helps regulate the skin cycle. Good food sources of vitamin A include, carrots, spinach, and broccoli.
Vitamin E and C - They act as natural antioxidants and provide a calming effect on the skin. Common sources of vitamin c include orange, lemons, sweet lime, grapefruit and tomatoes. Sources of vitamin E include olive oil, sunflower seeds, nuts, avocados, broccoli and green leafy vegetables.
Omega-3 fatty acids - they help inhibit certain molecules that lead to inflammation of skin. Common sources include flaxseed oil, walnut and almonds.
And not forgetting the main element – Water make sure to consume lots of water. It helps keep the skin well hydrated and even helps flush out the various harmful toxins. Water acts as a natural cleanser for the body. Tip to make water interesting- one can add slices of fruits like apples, oranges, sweet lime, pineapple etc. along with ice cubes and then consume this delicious recipe.
Skin Tips:
It is very essential to keep the skin clean irrespective of whether one is suffering from acne or not. One must wash their face twice daily which helps remove impurities, dead skin cells and excess of oil from theskin surface. Make use of a mild soap and avoid harsh soaps which contain chemicals that can lead to skin irritation and worsen the existing complaints if any. Avoid rubbing the skin against harsh substances.
If a person is suffering from dandruff, it should be treated in time to avoid it from spreading on the facial skin. Avoid touching the acne lesions frequently since it adds to the irritation of affected skin and even causes the spread of eruptions to the nearby healthy skin. Avoid use of heavy make-ups and longtime exposure to sun. Sleeping well too helps in alleviating the acne lesions.
Exercise well - Physical activity also helps your skin by increasing the blood circulation, which sends more oxygen to your skin cells and carries cell waste away.
Urticaria
Urticaria is commonly caused by various allergens present either in the surrounding environment, in the food intake, certain medicines etc. If the cause is identified, one must avoid it or take suitable treatment for the same. Viral or bacterial infections can also trigger acute urticaria attacks. It can also be caused by physical factors such as cold, heat, exercise, pressure and exposure to sunlight.
Herpes
Consume foods that are healthy and beneficial to your skin. For individuals suffering from herpes make sure to consume good amount of zinc, vitamin C and bioflavonoids which help protect, nourish and strengthen the skin. It also helps in healing the affected areas quickly during breakouts like cold sores. Common sources of bioflavonoids include citrus fruits (like orange, lemons, berries, grapes), green leafy vegetables, black tea, broccoli and berry juices. Common sources of zinc include pumpkin seeds, dairy products, whole grain cereals, beans and lentils and legumes.
Make healthy eating a lifestyle, not a duty. Eat well
and remain healthy…
