There has always been a saying, "illness enters through the mouth." Eating without care can not only lead to various internal organ diseases but can also cause skin problems. Which foods, when eaten incorrectly, can lead to skin problems? Everyone, take a good look!
Oily late-night snacks
Consequence: Triggering mites
Winter is here, the season when you can never feel full. Do you find yourself getting up for a late-night snack? Eating late-night snacks isn't wrong in itself, but you must avoid anything too spicy and stimulating. Otherwise, it's easy to increase facial oil production, allowing mites and fungi to take advantage and cause seborrheic dermatitis, and even seborrheic alopecia. It can also cause persistent congestion and dilation of facial capillaries, easily leading to redness, rosacea, and acne on the face.
Dry fruits
Consequence: "Internal heat" (上火)
What are "dry" fruits? In daily life, "dry" fruits include lychees and longans. Eating too many of them can cause a sore throat and facial blisters, which is commonly known as "internal heat" (上火). "Internal heat" not only leads to constipation but also causes acne and triggers folliculitis and other skin problems.
Careless diet for those with allergies
Consequence: Food allergies
People with allergies know which foods to avoid, but many might not pay close attention to this. Many people eat without considering their own condition, which can easily trigger food allergies, causing itching and hives all over the body. Medically, this is called urticaria. In severe cases, it can lead to anaphylactic shock, causing serious consequences.
Photosensitive vegetables
Consequence: Easy to get sunburned
Some allergies are triggered under specific conditions, such as exposure to sunlight. After consuming foods containing photosensitive substances like seaweed, green vegetables, radish leaves, and river snails, going out into the sun can cause severe dermatitis on the exposed areas. This is known as泥螺日光性皮炎 (泥螺日光性皮炎) or vegetable-induced solar dermatitis.
Seafood
Consequence: Easy to cause allergies
Most people know that fish, shrimp, crab, and other seafood can irritate the skin. Secondly, beef, mutton, and fatty meats are considered "trigger foods" (发物) that are extremely high in protein and often induce skin allergies.
