Skin itching is a common skin symptom. Many people may have had symptoms of itchy skin in their lives, and there are also symptoms of itchy skin when general skin diseases occur. Therefore, if there are symptoms of itchy skin, it may indicate some kind of skin disease. Then, the general skin itching is unbearable. What diet can we do to relieve it?

1, what should I eat for itchy skin?

Don't scratch when the skin itches, so as not to lead to dermatitis and eczema, resulting in a vicious circle of scratching and itching, and take proper care.

1, increase the intake of various vitamins. Vitamins play an important role in preventing skin aging and protecting skin tender and moist. For example, vitamin A deficiency can cause skin elasticity to decrease and become rough; Without vitamin B2, the skin of the mouth and lips will dry and crack. Foods rich in vitamin A: such as animal liver, cod liver oil, lean meat, eggs and orange-red fruits and vegetables. Foods rich in vitamin B2, such as yeast, fish, eggs, beans, Monopterus albus, river crabs, etc. In addition, vitamin E has anti-cell membrane oxidation effect, so it has anti-aging effect on skin. Foods containing more vitamin E, such as sesame oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, Chinese cabbage, etc.

2, often eat foods containing collagen and elastin. Collagen can enrich cells, enrich skin and reduce wrinkles. Usually you can eat some food such as tendon, pigskin and chicken skin.

3. Increase the intake of trace elements. Need to replenish enough blood, iron is one of the main components of heme in blood, and eat more iron-rich foods, such as animal blood, egg yolk, meat and so on. Natural iron in food is a kind of high-priced iron with little solubility and cannot be directly absorbed. It can only be absorbed by gastrointestinal tract in acidic environment. Therefore, while supplementing iron, it is necessary to increase foods containing more vitamin C, such as tomatoes, green peppers and hawthorn. Zinc deficiency can make the skin dry and rough, easy to grow acne, and foods with more zinc such as oysters, malt, walnuts and melon seeds. In addition, pearls contain a variety of trace elements, amino acids and protein, which can improve the nutritional status of skin and slow down skin aging and wrinkling.

4. Pay attention to the intake of alkaline food. Reduce the intake of animal fat, meat and sweets in the diet. These physiological acidic foods will increase the contents of lactic acid and uric acid in body fluids and blood after oxidative decomposition in the body, making the skin rough and greasy. In order to neutralize the excess acidic substances in the body, we should eat more physiological alkaline foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, to improve the supporting power of the skin and make the skin smooth and moist.

5. Always pay attention to drinking water. The tender and moist degree of skin is closely related to its water content. When the water in the body is reduced, the skin will be dry and the secretion of sebaceous glands will be reduced, which will make the skin and liver lose elasticity and even wrinkle. Therefore, for the sake of skin fitness, we should insist on drinking proper amount of water every day.

2, skin itching should eat food.

1, carrot

Carrot is a crisp, delicious and nutritious vegetable. In the dry season, eating some carrots can also moisturize the skin. Carrots are rich in β-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the small intestine. Vitamin A can protect the epidermis of the skin and make people's skin soft, shiny and elastic, so it is also called "beauty vitamin". If vitamin A is lacking in the diet, it will cause dry skin, abnormal keratin metabolism and easy relaxation and aging. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, and it is best to stir-fry carrots.

2. Pomegranate juice

Whenever autumn is the ripe season of pomegranate, juicing with pomegranate is sweet and sour and refreshing, and it also has the function of "quenching thirst and hangover". Pomegranate juice not only has a good "moisturizing" effect on the body, but also is a more effective antioxidant juice than red wine and tomato juice, and the effect is lasting.

3. Black sesame

Black sesame is rich in vitamin E, and its "moisturizing" effect on the skin in autumn can not be ignored. It can "moisten" collagen fibers and elastic fibers in the skin, and black sesame can also promote the blood circulation of the skin, so that it can obtain sufficient nutrition and moisture, thus achieving the dual effects of softness and luster.

4. What food to eat for sun protection?

1. vegetables. Some vegetables have a good sunscreen effect, even more "lasting" than sunscreen, because they will not be washed off by water. For example, tomatoes are rich in the antioxidant lycopene. Indian nutritionists say that daily intake of 16 mg of lycopene can reduce the risk of sunburn by 40%. It is more effective to eat potatoes or carrots while eating tomatoes, because the beta carotene in them can effectively block ultraviolet rays.

2. fish. Scientific research has found that eating fish three times a week can protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. Eating fish for a long time can provide people with a natural protection similar to sunscreen and make their skin fair. Because fish contains animal protein and unsaturated fatty acids, eating fish often can not only strengthen the body, but also help reduce blood pressure and blood lipids and make people live longer.

3. fruit. In order to have healthy and moist skin that is not easy to get sunburned, almost every dermatologist will advise you to eat 2-3 servings of fruits with high-dimensional C content every day, such as guava, kiwi fruit, strawberry and citrus.

4. Foods containing collagen. German scholars conducted a study. Collagen polypeptide with average molecular weight of 2000 was mixed into 10% solution, and the skin was rubbed at regular intervals. After 48 hours, the skin pigmentation caused by ultraviolet rays can be reduced by about 25%. Eating foods rich in collagen such as bird's nest, pig's trotters, chicken feet and fish skin can effectively inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and reduce the production of melanin.

5. nuts. Lack of vitamin B can lead to pigmentation. Eating more foods containing vitamin B in summer can effectively prevent sun and remove spots. Among the B vitamins, vitamin B2 is also called riboflavin, which can keep the skin's metabolism normal, make the skin smooth and delicate, and eliminate spots. Its main food sources include soybeans, peanuts and walnuts.
