The benefits of alkaline diets for people with eczema

Many eczema sufferers only seem to seek salvation in remedies to treat the skin itself. But the condition of our skin is largely determined by our diet. It is not that strange, our skin, like all other organs and tissues, depends for its building blocks on what the body can make itself and the nutrients we provide it. [! 181253 => 1140 = 1!] The theory behind the so-called alkaline diet is as follows: a large part of the food in our Western diet leaves behind acidic residues in the body. Research seems to indicate that one of the main causes of allergic reactions is the result of these acidic residues.

Now our body is by nature not an acidic environment, on the contrary, it is even slightly 'alkaline', that is to say with a pH value between 7 and 8. In fact, our diet should also average value.
Now our body is by nature not an acidic environment, on the contrary, it is even slightly 'alkaline', that is to say with a pH value between 7 and 8. In fact, our diet should therefore also average that value.

Fortunately, our body does have a number of defense mechanisms against a diet with too high an acidity. In the first place, it will store all the excess acids in the adipose tissue. However, this system has its limits. When the fat cells become supersaturated, our body will try to lower the acidity, for instance by removing calcium from other parts of the body. However, this can cause numerous health problems.

When even this finally stops working, the excess acid will begin to damage vital organs and leave the body through the skin. And that is when people start to suffer from eczema or severe itching.

To get you started on an alkaline diet, I have created a recipe for you to start right away with this healthy diet.

A stir-fry mix of broccoli with garlic and sunflower seeds is super healthy. Not just because it is alkaline. Broccoli, for example, is a Dutch super vegetable that is full of vitamin C. Vitamin C is also important for your immune system and the amount of energy you have. Garlic is a good flavor enhancer and has an anti-inflammatory effect. This can also reduce inflammation in eczema.

The olive oil is a good oil for frying and has omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 is very useful for lowering your cholesterol and good for your brain.

The chicken breast is a lean piece of meat, so it doesn't mess up your alkaline diet like fatty meat would. The chicken also contains important minerals and vitamins, such as vitamin B12. This is important for a good memory.

Cut the florets off the broccoli and cook for five minutes. During cooking you can squeeze the garlic and prepare the sunflower seeds. Then put the broccoli in a wok or frying pan with olive oil and add the crushed garlic and sunflower seeds. Stir fry until crispy and cooked through.

Fry the chicken fillet in a frying pan until there is no pink meat at all. You can also season the chicken breast with parsley, garlic and a little lemon juice.

An alkaline diet ensures that the food you eat more closely matches the acidity of your body. As a result, your body has to regulate the acidity less, which reduces the risk of eczema due to overload. With an alkaline diet you mainly eat vegetables, fruits and herbs. If you want more protein, it is best to go for lean meat, eggs and goat's milk or cheese.

In addition to this alkaline diet, skin care remains important to reduce eczema. This increases the chance that you will suffer from eczema much less or even never again.
