In winter, there are many persons suffered from eczema. When getting the illness, there would be dry patches present on one’s skin and they are going to burn after only a few minutes of scratching. They would be around one’s skin of arms, shoulders, elbows, even thighs and buttocks. As a matter of fact, I am the one of sufferers and it is a painful experience when winter comes.
Generally speaking, eczema is the one of the most common skin killers afflicting people. And it is characterized by itchy skin, redness, swelling, cracking, crusting, and scaling.
As a matter of fact, the eczema is mainly due to body’s lack of essential fatty acids (EFA's), which are polyunsaturated fats only can be ingested from food. And, it is suggested that one must ingest EFA’s at a ratio of 2:1 (omega 3: omega 6) for gaining the greatest benefit from EFA’s.
And, how to get EFA’s from diet? The answer is fish. If you like to eat fish, the illness would be away from you. Because eat fish can greatly supplement omega 6 fatty acids which could prevent one from the eczema; certainly, the omega 3 fatty acids must be supplemented synchronously. And, the fish oil can offer a lot of omega 3 fatty acids. If one wants to buy products of fish oil, the liquid and capsule form could be chose.
Additionally, flax seeds can offer omega 3 fatty acids, although its amount is less than fish oil. And, borage or primrose oil are also prove to contain omega 6 fatty acids.
Keep eating with these healthy foods which can ward off the burning and inflammation of eczema, and you will be fit during the whole winter.
