What is an Alkaline Diet

Well, it’s mostly a vegetarian based diet. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to become a vegetarian or give up meat. Just try to make small changes here and there to reduce acid forming foods.

The biggest change you can make to switch to a more alkaline diet is avoid simple carbohydrates. This means try to reduce or eliminate all pre-packaged processed white flour including:

• breads
• cakes
• pastas
• rice
• crackers

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. If must have carbohydrates try to limit them and make sure they are whole grain wheat based.

Also, consider reducing your meat consumption – if you normally eat a lot of meat. Your best bet is to fill your plate with more veggies and less carbs and meat.

A sample diet for rosacea should include the following foods:

• Large amounts of vegetables especially salad greens, sprouts. Vegetables should be the 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
• Healthy unsaturated fats like olive oil, avocados, flaxseeds
• Whole grains including millet and quinoa
• High quality proteins like fish, eggs, egg whites, skinless turkey and chicken
• 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.
