One day, you wake up and you notice a flare-up. It’s unseemly and totally unwanted! It could be eczema, scleroderma, psoriasis, vasculitis, hives, heck, even a good old-fashioned acne breakout. 

 

Unfortunately today you have a momentous event. It could be a wedding, a date, a job interview or something equally important and you don’t  look your best and you feel even worse. It’s upsetting and disappointing. You could even feel angry about why this is happening at this moment. But you can’t help it. Or can you?

 

To treat this, you’ve been using skin creams and ointments. You take the recommended medication from your doctors. Creams and ointments can be so difficult to apply but you still do it. When you’re faced with a skin care product that just isn’t solving your problem — or is actually making your skin worse — it can be not only frustrating but confusing. You’re not seeing the results you want. Your flare-ups are still frequent and often severe. Are there any other ways to prevent this?

 

 

Fortunately, there is. A healthy and nutritious diet.

 

Healthy food can relieve flare ups. It even removes the pain of your own skin condition and helps clear up your skin in the long-run. What you eat and drink may make a difference.

 

Food is the source of our energy and nutrition affects the health of our nervous system, metabolism, organs, muscles, skin, and hair. They’re also essential for cell growth, development, and overall functioning. As such, they offer serious benefits to skin health, since our skin is constantly regenerating. The healthier your skin, the faster it renews. 

 

A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body doesn’t absorb or get from food the necessary amount of a nutrient. Deficiencies can lead to a variety of health problems. These can include digestion problems, skin disorders, even the collapse of your immune system.

 

But sometimes your body is unable to absorb certain nutrients even if you’re consuming them. It’s possible to be deficient in any of the nutrients your body needs. 

 

To help get you started, here are a few tips:
