Diet for seborrheic dermatitis on the head, face: menu

Seborrheic dermatitis causes physical and psychological discomfort for the patient. In this regard, the fastest possible removal of negative manifestations is recommended.

Therefore, along with drug therapy, a diet for seborrheic dermatitis is actively used, on the strict implementation of which further recovery depends.

Diet features

At first, for many patients, the diet seems impracticable and tough, since the menu does not differ in particular variety, and it is quite difficult to get used to frequent (5-6 times) and fractional meals. However, as the acute symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis on the head disappear, the patient's diet is allowed adding one new product and then tracking which food reacts most sharply organism. In case of negative manifestations with increased itching, peeling, rash on the face and head, this product must be discarded.

In the event of the appearance of seborrheic dermatitis in a breastfeeding child, the effectiveness of recovery directly depends on nutrition of a young mother, since quite ordinary foods can cause an inadequate reaction in an infant with a characteristic seborrheic symptomatology.

Recommendations for proper nutrition for the development of seborrheic dermatitis

Quite often, at a doctor's appointment, patients with seborrheic dermatitis are interested in the question of what foods can be consumed with the development of the disease?

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS:

• Carbohydrates. This category includes confectionery, cakes, sweets and rolls. In addition, semolina, jam and carbonated drinks are high in carbohydrates. It is recommended to limit the diet of potatoes, pasta and baked goods, which are also carbohydrate foods. The consumption of these foods leads to the development of a fungal infection.
• Spices. It is necessary to limit the diet of spicy, pickled and smoked food with the addition of spices. These products negatively affect the functionality of the gastrointestinal tract, interfering with normal absorption and dramatically reducing the number of beneficial bacteria, whose deficiency manifests itself primarily on the hairy part heads.
• Fast food. Such food, in addition to a large amount of carbohydrates, contains a large amount of preservatives and salt, which negatively affects the body.

• Alcohol. Drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited. You can't even drink beer and low alcohol drinks. Alcoholic drinks negatively affect the liver, preventing the elimination of toxic substances from the body. In this case, the production of bile is disrupted, vascular spasms are observed, which adversely affects the nutrition of the skin and slows down its regeneration.
• Allergens. Allergic attacks on the body increase the tension of the immune system. Most often, this reaction can be caused by nuts, milk, eggs, bee products, citrus fruits, mushrooms, caviar, strawberries, etc. You should pay particular attention to vegetables and fruits of red and orange colors.

RECOMMENDED FOOD PRODUCTS:

Patients with seborrhea on the head need to eat the following foods:

• Milk products. As a rule, natural milk is tolerated by patients with this diagnosis rather hard, and those beneficial trace elements that are present in it are simply necessary for the body. Therefore, it is recommended for adults and children with an allergic predisposition to cook porridge, diluting milk by half with water, and also drink kefir, fermented baked milk and other fermented milk products.
• Liquid. Observing a diet, it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids (non-carbonated pure water, herbal infusions, natural fruit drinks, etc.).
• Meat products. Ideally add chicken, lean pork and beef to your meals. Rare eating of rabbit and turkey meat, as well as low-fat varieties of fish, is acceptable.
• Vegetables. It is recommended to use pumpkin with pale pulp, zucchini, squash, broccoli, asparagus. In addition, it is very useful to add seaweed to the diet, which contains a rich complex minerals and vitamins, which is necessary for nourishing the skin on the scalp heads.

• Berries (fruits). It is recommended to diversify the diet with pears, green apples, watermelons, white cherries and currants. Berries, as well as fruits, are allowed to be consumed both fresh and thermally processed, excluding jam.
• Oils. The human body, and especially during illness, needs vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids, which are abundant in olive and sunflower oil. The vitamin complex of oils improves vascular elasticity, while accelerating the production of collagen substances.
• Vitamins. If you follow a diet, vitamins enter the body in minimal amounts, so it is important to make up for their deficiency with the help of medicines. As a rule, patients are advised to drink ready-made vitamins and minerals, for example, the Vitrum vitamin complex.

Food processing methods

Boiled and steamed products retain the maximum amount of nutrients that are destroyed during the process of frying and stewing. These methods have a gentle effect on the digestive system and the condition of the skin. In addition, it is recommended to include jellied and jelly in food, since they contain agar-agar in their composition, which has a beneficial effect on the skin of the scalp.

Approximate one-day menu

Meals for seborrhea should be fractional and frequent (up to 5-6 times during the day). An example menu looks like this:

BREAKFAST: Recommended 150-200 gr. low-fat cottage cheese, diluted with kefir or natural unsweetened yogurt and 1 tbsp. tea infused with herbs (chamomile, lemon balm, etc.).

DINNER: For dinner, we recommend 280-200 grams of boiled meat or fish + steamed vegetables + cucumber salad with olive oil. Lightly brewed unsweetened tea is recommended as a drink.

It should be noted that the menu with the development of seborrheic dermatitis is quite acceptable for patients. It usually excludes only those foods that are capable of provoking a response from the immune system. After a certain time, this menu and the general hypoallergenic diet will take their place in the patient's life, providing him with vigor, the necessary vitality and activity.

It is necessary to first consult with your doctor, which will avoid undesirable consequences in the future.
