The Keratosis Pilaris Diet Plan
1. One of the first recommendations many doctors make
about managing a disease is to support a healthy diet.
And it is no exaggeration to say that diet plays a crucial
role to many of those afflicted with keratosis pilaris (KP).
While the proper keratosis pilaris diet may not
completely
eradicate the skin
disorder, it can
greatly reduce the
unsightly bumps.
The trick is to find
the right diet for
you and this can
only be achieved
through some experimentation on your part. At the bare
minimum, the keratosis pilaris diet should be rich in
foods proven to have a healing and soothing effect on
your skin, while processed foods and dairy should best be
avoided. Below are three diet plans to try.
Keratosis Pilaris Diet Ideas
Gluten-Free Diet
A gluten-free diet is an excellent choice for those with
keratosis pilaris especially since many sufferers have
identified gluten as a major source of their KP flare-ups.
In addition to foods known to contain gluten such as
wheat-based products, gluten is also commonly found in
many unexpected foods such as processed meats.
Avoiding gluten as much as possible may help make
your KP more manageable and possibly help your skin's
appearance dramatically.
Juicing Diet
Juicing is another popular dieting choice that can
improve the appearance of skin. In place of a meal, a
mixture of fresh fruit and/or vegetable juice is drunk
instead.
When done regularly, juicing can be a great source of
vitamins to help aid the skin. For example, the
combination of lemon juice and carrot juice is a powerful
concoction because of its copious amounts of vitamin A
and vitamin C, both of which are vital to improving the
appearance of keratosis pilaris.
Paleo Diet
The Paleo diet is also one of the best choices for
managing keratosis pilaris. It helps cut down on fatty and
processed foods while encouraging the consumption of
lean proteins, nuts, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Certain
staples of the Paleo diet like liver have tremendous
benefits on KP due to its rich natural source of vitamin
A.
As part of a keratosis diet plan, these foods can help
provide your body with a sufficient boost of vitamins and
minerals to enable your skin to heal.
