Effect of diet on skin healthRecommendations for future research Dietary modifications have generally received little attention in dermatological therapy. However, recent studies have discovered a strong link between various dermatological conditions and food.
A dietary pattern that prioritizes the consumption of whole foods over highly processed foods may be able to treat some skin disorders and will undoubtedly be able to prevent the co-morbidities that go along with them. Several deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids produce observable cutaneous symptoms. Skin conditions may result in metabolic disturbances and dietary deficits.
Aging skin Changes in the collagen and elastic fibers of the skin, which are themselves affected by food, are associated with sagging skin and loss of elasticity. Specifically, consuming sugar can hasten these indications of aging because it stimulates the cross-linking of collagen fibers. Many research studies have also focused on foods that may limit the generation of AGEs. These include herbs and spices like oregano, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and garlic, as well as chemicals that occur naturally in some fruits and vegetables, such as lipoic acid.
