2006-10-03 10:09:03
If you suffer from itchy, irritated skin caused by eczema or psoriasis, eat an eight-ounce serving of salmon or other fatty fish two or three times a week, as well as flaxseed (you can grind four tablespoons into a dressing). Both foods provide essential fatty acids that hydrate the skin and keep dead cells from creating flakes and blocking pores. Another helper for rough skin patches - including wounds and scars - is a diet rich in brightly-colored fruits and vegetables, which are chock-full of vitamins A, C and E. Vitamin C in particular is critical in healing wounds since it helps form connective tissue. Aim for five servings a day. Tags: itch diet, eczema, vitamins diary
