How to Treat Rosacea through Diet

One way to treat and cure Rosacea is through diet changes. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that affects many adults. Rosacea tends to worsen over time when left untreated. For many, Rosacea only shows up for weeks or months at a time only to disappear then reappear again at a later time. For many adults suffering Rosacea, some simple changes to their diet is all that is really necessary to prevent Rosacea breakouts.

Instructions

1. Increase your intake of Fiber, which helps to force toxins through the digestive tract, rather than having them affect the skin.

2. Increase your intake of B Vitamins with foods like wheat germ, brown rice, brewer's yeast and whole grain foods. B Vitamins are often found to be deficient in many patients with Rosacea.

3. Increase your intake of fatty acids with cold water fish and flaxseeds. Fatty acids help to reduce inflammation.

4. Avoids foods that will cause your skin to flush, this includes spicy food, caffeine and alcohol.

5. Avoid sugar and iodized salt. Sugar and iodized salt can dilate the blood vessels.

6. Avoid saturated fat, which has an inflammatory effect on the skin. Also try to cut back on fried foods, greasy foods and red meat which can weaken the immune system and worsen Rosacea.
