What to eat for atopic dermatitis: A guide to combining dietary conditioning and popular topics
Recently, the hottest discussions on healthy diet and skin management across the Internet have continued to rise, especially dietary conditioning for patients with atopic dermatitis has become the focus. This article will combine popular topics in the past 10 days to organize a scientific and practical dietary advice for you to help relieve symptoms.
1. Dietary principles of atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Although diet cannot cure it, it can help improve symptoms through anti-inflammatory and barrier repair functions. The following are the core principles:
| Diet Type | Recommended food | Mechanism of action |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-inflammatory foods | Deep sea fish (salmon, mackerel), flax seeds, walnuts | Rich in Omega-3, inhibits inflammatory response |
| Probiotic food | Non-sweet yogurt, miso, kimchi (low salt) | Regulate intestinal flora and enhance immune balance |
| Highly antioxidant foods | Blueberries, spinach, carrots | Scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative damage to the skin |
2. Relevant analysis of recent hot topics
Combined with social platform data in the past 10 days, the following two types of topics are highly correlated with the diet of atopic dermatitis:
1. "Superfood" trend:Turmeric (containing curcumin) and fermented foods (such as kombucha) are frequently mentioned due to their anti-inflammatory properties, but it should be noted that some fermented products may contain high histamine. Use it with caution if you are allergic to treat it.
2. Gluten-free diet controversy:Some internet celebrities recommend gluten-free options, but studies have shown that it is only effective for eczema patients with gluten allergies. Blindly following the trend may cause nutritional imbalance.
| Hot search keywords | Relevance | Scientific advice |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D supplement | ★★★★☆ | Those with insufficient sun exposure can supplement in moderation, as the lack of symptoms may aggravate the symptoms. |
| Sugar-quitting therapy | ★★★☆☆ | Refined sugar does promote inflammation, but extreme sugar breaks need to be avoided |
3. List of foods to be eaten with caution
There are large differences in individual allergens, but the following foods are prone to trigger histamine release or cross-reaction:
| High-risk food | Alternatives |
|---|---|
| Processed food (including preservatives) | Choose fresh ingredients to make your own |
| Citrus fruits | Change to eating low-allergic fruits such as apples and pears |
| Peanuts/Wheat | After confirming allergy, use quinoa and buckwheat |
4. Sample practical diet plan
According to the latest recommendations of the American Association of Dermatology (AAD), design with Chinese dietary habits:
breakfast:Oatmeal (sugar-free) + steamed pumpkin + boiled eggs (non-allergic)
Lunch:Mixed Grain Rice + Steamed Sea Bass + Blanched Broccoli
Add meal:Papaya (rich in papain, aids in digestion)
dinner:Millet porridge + fried chicken breast with asparagus
5. Special reminder
1. Food logging method: record daily diet and symptoms changes, accurately identify personal trigger foods
2. Cooking method: choose steaming and cooking to avoid late glycosylation end products (AGEs) produced by barbecue
3. Balanced nutrition: Those who are ignorant of their diet for a long time should monitor the levels of micronutrients such as zinc and B vitamins.
