E-mail Print PDF
Just like a limited intake of certain foods do well to your body and are integral to maintaining a healthy body, the skin also needs skin nutrition to maintain its health. The skin acquires nutrients from the metabolic process of the body and a deficiency in essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, anti-oxidants or vital fatty acids will show on the health of the skin.

Hasn’t a rash or allergy almost always been tracked to a certain food item we relished?

Skin care cannot be complete without a right diet because creams alone cannot treat the needs of the skin. None of the skin nutrition products can come handy if what the skin needs is nourishment from within. A healthy skin undoubtedly represents a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle. Genetics, hormones and your environment also contribute to the glow. So, what are the essentials that make a healthy skin? We list a couple of essentials to keep that glow in check:

Important ingredients for Skin Nutrition:

Sodium:

Deficiency of sodium can make skin sticky. Wrinkles may also appear sooner.
Suggested Intake: Cucumber helps keep body cool in summer and fight sodium deficiency

Iodine:

Skin rash and acne are common skin disorders if iodine is consumed excessively. Iodine deficiency leads to dry and scaly skin.
Suggested Intake: To combat iodine deficiency you should eat foods that contain high iodine content like carrots, beetroot and leafy vegetables.

Fluorine:

If you have scaly skin it is due to the deficiency of fluorine. It can give rise to problems relating to the spleen and blood.  This fluorine is destroyed if we cook the food. Therefore, it is better to eat raw food.
Suggested Intake: Eat a fruit daily.  Also drink goat's milk and eat cheese, cabbage, cottage cheese and cream whey.

Silicon:

Deficiency of silicon can lead to rashes on skin, skin eruptions and pus.
Suggested Intake: Sprouts, tomatoes, spinach, strawberries and figs, green leafy vegetables. Adding at least one green leafy vegetable to your meal everyday will help you combat silicon deficiency.

Water:

Drinking 10 to 12 glasses of water in a day will keep most problems at bay because it helps improve your digestion and also flushes out toxins from your body.
