Inflammation is a contributing factor to rosacea and flare-ups, and we believe that what you consume can really affect your day-to-day symptoms.
You can help manage inflammation through diet. Here are our five of our favorite (and researched) anti-inflammatory foods:
1. VegetablesOmega 3 fatty acids.
One way that inflammation can occur in the body is an imbalance and deficiency of omega 3 fatty acids. These are essential fatty acids that are found in nuts, salmon, avocados, sardines and flaxseed.
2. Non-citrus fruits and vegetables.
The more colors you eat, the better! Blueberries, raspberries, kale, apricots and cauliflower are so rich in antioxidants, which help combat inflammation.
