Why stop Acute and Chronic Skin inflammation using Dietary Nutrition and not Skincare products?
In order to protect itself from injury, infection or diseases the natural resistant response of the body is called inflammation. It is the body’s smart way of keeping us safe by trying to heal itself. On the other hand, sometimes due to factors like diet, exercise and stress, our body can be more prone to inflammation.
Pain, redness and swelling are the symptoms of Acute inflammation that will generally cave in a matter of hours or days while long term symptoms can vary from ongoing pain to digestive problems, weight issues, and weakness. Chronic inflammation has been associated with serious health conditions comprising heart diseases, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's, so plummeting inflammation is important for longevity and vital health.
“Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments.” So it was very well said by Bethenny Frankel
Nutrition plays an extremely important role in the management of inflammation. Some foods are pro-inflammatory, while others help to reduce it.
It has been shown that following a Mediterranean-style diet reduces inflammation in the body. This diet focuses on eating a variety of healthy plant foods and reducing your intake of animal products but eating fish and seafood in moderate amounts. Small amounts of dairy, eggs, as well as very small amounts of some red meat, can also be incorporated into the diet.
Oily fish, turmeric, berries, broccoli and dark chocolate are particularly anti-inflammatory foods. There are some pro-inflammatory foods, which should be limited in the diet. These consist of ultra-processed foods, refined carbohydrates and sugars, deep-fried foods, processed meats, sugar-sweetened soft drinks and trans or hydrogenated fats.
Along with this, physical workouts or exercises are also pros and anti-inflammatory depending on strength, time, and recovery time. 20 minutes of daily physical activity at moderate intensity is recommended to reduce inflammation. Heart rate in moderate exercise should be within 100-120 beats per minute depending on fitness levels.
Inflammation can also be decreased by reducing stress. As well as stress again can be reduced by sufficient sleep and working on mindfulness together.
Food is medicine as it contains other nutrients that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Motivating your client to believe in a nutritious diet, exercise and reducing stress in their lifestyles is the most excellent way to help them diminish inflammation and lead a healthy lifestyle.
