Diet and Your Skin
If you want a healthy skin, it is important for you to take a healthy food diet which contains adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals and proteins. Balance is the keyword. No single diet is responsible for building up or maintaining the skin - so fad diets, which over emphasize one food in preference to others can actually deprive you of essential nutrients and so may even harm your body and skin.
Moreover, there are a lot of misconceptions about the effect of certain foods on your skin. It is not true, for instance, that eating chocolates, sweets or rich cakes will give you spots. Neither is it true that eating greasy, fried foods will give you a oily skin or make your hair oily. Nor can it be guaranteed, that if you fill yourself up with cucumbers, grapes, carrot juice or leafy vegetables you will acquire a beautiful, flawless complexion. Some people have even come out with extraordinary claims, suggesting, for example, that salads will dramatically change your appearance and to develop a perfect skin you must take vitamin and mineal supplements. Although there is no harm in denying the fact that you must take a varied and a balanced diet, but it is equally important to remember, that the single most important factor in determining the beauty of your complexion is heredity and your eating habits play only a very small part in it.
However, if your diet is rudely deficient in certain main elements, then the skin can develop problems. In people taking normal balanced diets this does not happen. But after severe illness, surgery and in people who are on crash diets, problems might occur. With complete nutritional deficiehcies, as occurs in severe illness of any type, the skin becomes dry and dark. The lips become sore, the hair falls, and the nails develop ridges and may even get discoloured. The feet become edematous.
