What foods are good to eat if you have allergic skin?

If you have allergic skin, the first priority is to eat foods that you know will not trigger allergies. On this basis, you should give priority to foods with low inflammation, high antioxidants, and few additives. There is no "anti-allergic magic food" that is suitable for everyone.

A while ago, my best friend suffered from hay fever in the spring and allergic dermatitis on her face. She was as red as a cooked peach and was so itchy that she couldn't sleep. I heard someone said she needed to take vitamin C supplements and ate oranges for three days, but the redness became worse. Later, she asked me to help her adjust her diet: she replaced fresh oranges with Blanched dark vegetables such as spinach and rapeseed, steamed pangasius twice a week to supplement Omega-3, and drank a small cup of unsweetened plain yogurt in the morning and evening. After eating for five or six days, she said that her face was no longer itchy in the morning, and most of the red marks were gone.

Having said this, someone must want to ask, isn’t it said that high-vitamin C foods are anti-allergic? Why can't I eat oranges? In fact, this is the point where there is a lot of controversy: some people think that all high-vitamin C foods can reduce allergic reactions, while others say that all tropical fruits should be banned during the allergy period. In fact, both opinions are too absolute - fruits such as mango, pineapple, orange, and kiwi are indeed high in vitamin C. However, the content of free histamine itself is not low. If you are in an acute allergic attack, your blood vessels are already in a state of expansion. Eating these may indeed aggravate redness and swelling. However, if you are completely tolerant to these fruits, you will never have any problems when eating them. Even if you eat less during the allergy period, it will be fine.

It is also true that everyone always says "avoid allergy-causing foods". The so-called "causing foods" are essentially foods that you are intolerant to. If you have never been allergic to chicken, beef, or seafood before, it is perfectly fine to eat stewed food without spicy seasonings during the allergy period. I have seen many people who are afraid of "alerting" during the allergy period and only dare to drink white porridge and eat vegetables. As a result, their immunity is severely weakened. The allergy has been delayed for half a month, but it is not worth the gain.

In fact, the body during the allergy period is like a kitten with fried hair. Don't feed it too many weird supplements or heavy-flavored foods. Just give it something mild and familiar to it. The skin condition will naturally stabilize gradually. If you really want to make targeted adjustments, you might as well do it. A food IgE or IgG test is much more reliable than trying to figure out what to eat. My distant cousin was allergic to it for more than half a year and didn't dare to eat anything. In the end, it was found that she was only allergic to peanuts. All other foods were normal. She was starved for half a year and was anemic.

By the way, don’t expect that you can quickly cure allergies by eating any food. Food can at most help you reduce the inflammatory reaction. If the allergy is serious, you should take medicine and apply ointment. Don’t force it.
