Diet For Rosacea - Foods To Eat For Rosacea

Rosacea symptoms are characterized by redness, flushing, or visible blood vessels on the face. While the exact causes of this skin disease is not known, researchers and doctors suspect it has something to do with certain foods or allergies -- that trigger symptoms.

Rosacea suffers need to avoid anything that causes inflammation, too much dilation of the blood vessel or increased circulation in the face and neck. So the best diet for rosacea should avoid or limit the following foods:

  • Alcohol and hot or spicy beverages and foods like hot peppers, spices, black pepper, marinades, and vinegar
  • Citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes, red plums, raisins, and chocolates
  • Flavoring and seasonings like soy sauce, yeast extract, MSG, aspartame, NutraSweet, and food colorings
  • Other foods include shellfish like lobster and pawns
  • Life sytle factors including saunas, hot tubs, exercise, stress, and anger
  • Environmental factors including cold weather, wind, temperature extremes, and certain skin care products with preservatives

Foods To Eat For Rosacea Suffers


Rosacea suffers should try to concentrate on a mostly alkaline diet. Studies have shown that a vegetarian alkaline diet can dramatically reduce rosacea symptoms within two months. While not all study participants were completely symptom free, an alkaline diet did to help reduce inflammation and did provide some relief to all participants.

So what are the best foods to eat for rosacea? To put it simply, avoid simple carbohydrates, pre-packaged processed foods, and red meat. These foods not only spike insulin levels causing inflammatory reactions throughout the whole body, but also create age-accelerating free radicals which breaks down skin collagen. These foods are your skin’s worst enemy – whether or not you suffer from rosacea.

A sample diet for rosacea should include the following foods:

  • Large amounts of vegetables especially salad greens, sprouts. Vegetables should your largest portion on your plate
  • Certain fruits like blackberries, blueberries, and cherries. These fruits are known to be vascular constrictors and could help in reducing redness
  • High quality proteins like fish, eggs, egg whites, skinless turkey and chicken
  • Healthy unsaturated fats like olive oil, avocados, flaxseeds
  • Whole grains including millet and quinoa
  • Fresh water – at least 8 to 10 glasses in daily

Finally, talk to your doctor about taking a baby aspirin once a day. Scientists have found that rosacea suffers who took 81 mg of aspirin had few and shorter outbreaks after 30 days. However, make sure your get your doctor’s approval before taking a baby aspirin daily.
