Eczema, this nasty inflammation that causes redness, itching and "flaking" of the skin, can be soothed by consuming certain foods. And since they are not only good for beautiful skin, there is no risk in trying to integrate these foods into our diet.
- Oolong tea
Stuffed with antioxidants, useful for regenerating skin and astringent tannins, perfect for their anti-inflammatory action, oolong tea is recommended for all those who suffer from eczema. Japanese researchers have observed that after one week at two cups a day, patients with eczema saw their itching decrease. Oolong tea is therefore urgently added to our shopping list.
- Salmon and other oily fish
We can never say enough about the good that we want fatty fish. Salmon, herring, sardines, tuna ... All overflow with omega 3, these essential fatty acids for the regeneration of the skin. With two to three servings of oily fish a week, inflammations and conditions like eczema are prevented.
- Yogurt with live culture
Yes, the bacteria contained in these fermented products are excellent for our health! They not only stimulate the immune cells of the intestinal tract, but they also protect against diseases.
- Nuts and dried fruits
Rich in omega 3, nuts and other nuts make an excellent snack. They help renew the cells of the skin and reduce the risk of affection.
- Crustaceans and molluscs
They are eaten mostly because they contain selenium. Crustaceans and molluscs, or in an extensive way, all seafood, are full of these anti-eczema antioxidants, which protect the cell membrane (especially skin) through an anti-radical action. Perfect also for protecting the skin from pollution.
- Liver
Liver and offal as well as kidneys also contain selenium. They are our allies to avoid skin irritation. They are preferably cooked with garlic or onions rich in antioxidants.
- Starchy foods
Zinc in starchy foods makes them a formidable ally against eczema. He also comes to protect cells with an action against free radicals.
- Eggs
