Nutritional Therapy
ELEVATE WELLNESS & SKIN HEALTH
Overview
Nutritional Therapy is a science-based, personalised approach; considering all aspects of health to establish the root cause of health problems. Discovering how food impacts your body in order to support you back to optimal health. Nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin. Here are some reasons why proper nutrition is important for skin health.
Skin Barrier Function
The skin acts as a protective barrier against external factors such as pollutants, UV radiation, and bacteria. Nutrients like vitamins A, C, and E, as well as essential fatty acids, help maintain the integrity and function of the skin barrier, keeping it strong and resilient.
Collagen Production
Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin. Nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, and copper are essential for collagen synthesis. A well-balanced diet rich in these nutrients can promote collagen production, which helps maintain skin firmness and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
Antioxidant Protection
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Free radicals can damage skin cells and contribute to ageing and various skin issues. Consuming foods rich in antioxidants can help neutralise free radicals and support healthy skin.
Hydration
Adequate hydration is essential for maintaining skin health. Drinking enough water helps keep the skin hydrated and prevents dryness, which can lead to a dull complexion and increased sensitivity. Additionally, consuming water-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, can contribute to overall hydration.
Reduced Inflammation
Certain nutrients, like omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, have anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation in the body can contribute to skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can help reduce skin inflammation and promote a healthier complexion.
Key Info
It's important to maintain a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats to support optimal skin health. Consulting with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian can provide personalised guidance on nutrition for your specific skin needs.
