Avoid skin inflammation

Skin inflammation is becoming a more and more common problem. Sometimes it has its origin in stress, food, lack of movement, the use of aggressive products for our skin... Today I would like to share with you how to avoid skin inflammation.

Inflammation is a response of the immune system to be alert. The problem occurs when this inflammation becomes chronic, as the stimulus that activates it is constant.

Anti-inflammatory foods

Fruits and vegetables: they are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. In particular, the flavonoids present in red fruits, fennel and cauliflower prevent the entry of toxins into the intestinal cells.
Whole grains: thanks to their fiber content, they prevent blood glucose peaks and help reduce inflammation and free radicals. Gluten-free cereals such as buckwheat, quinoa or rice are particularly recommended.
Nuts and seeds: they are especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids, essential to keep inflammation under control. Pistachios, flax and pumpkin seeds are the best option.
Herbs and spices: contain phytochemicals and antioxidants. Especially turmeric, pepper, curry, ginger, oregano, rosemary and thyme.
Tea: the polyphenols present in white and green teas are highly recommended.
Reduce consumption of dairy products, refined sugars and processed products.

Anti-inflammatory lifestyle habits

It is essential to enjoy a good rest, respecting the natural cycles. If you find it difficult to fall asleep, you can sprinkle your pillow with three drops of lavender essential oil to enhance relaxation. It is also important to manage stress correctly and include physical exercise in your routine.
