Eczema And Diet

If you know exactly which foods cause eczema to appear on your skin (you should take an allergy test to find that out), then start your diet by avoiding the foods that are bad for you. But at the same time, find appropriate substitutes!

So for example, if you're allergic to particular wheat product, like white bread or waffles or whatever, you should try a different kind of bread, or different waffles. It's not the end of the world, you know! And guess what, after a certain period of time you can try that white bread again, and it just might happen that the allergy reaction will not be there anymore. That's the way it goes with allergies - one minute they are alive and kicking, the other they are nowhere to be found!

When talking about diet and eczema, there is one thing that you should do, no matter if your eczema is mild or severe, or if it's periodic or permanent. You should start eating a lot of foods containing the following:
  • vitamin B complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12)
  • zinc
  • fish oil
  • grape juice
These four are absolutely essential for your skin. A lot can be said about what they exactly do, but suffice it to say that they maintain healthy skin.

Vitamine B Complex makes a perfect illustration. Take a look at the B complex deficiency effects to your body: dermatitis (skin inflammation), cheilosis (cracks in the lips), seborrheic dermatitis (scaly, flaky skin on face and sculp), pellagra, acne...

Zinc, possess anti-oxidant properties, which protect against premature aging of the skin. Zinc can be found in fish, oysters, liver (especially in veal liver), low fat roast beef, roasted pumpkin and squash seeds, dried watermelon seeds, blackberries, dates, etc...

Fish oil contains vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining normal skin health, and it also possess anti-inflammatory properties (eczematous skin is inflamed!). Fish oil is obtained from oily fish.

Grape juice, similar to zinc, contains anti-oxidants.

So, to summarize all that has been said, your eczema skin symptoms stands no chance against Nature. Not only you can kill eczema by starting eating properly, but there is a special aid the Nature offers, sort of a cavalry that can swipe that disease in a matter of weeks! Read on.
