The improvement of chicken skin (i.e. keratosis) can be achieved through dietary regulation. Here are some recommended foods:
1. Foods rich in vitamin A: Vitamin A is crucial for maintaining normal epithelial tissue function and regulating the process of human epidermal keratinization. It is possible to increase the intake of foods rich in vitamin A appropriately, such as animal liver (pig liver, chicken liver, etc.), fish liver oil, dairy products (milk, sheep milk, etc.), eggs (eggs, quail eggs, etc.). Foods rich in carotenoids can also be converted into vitamin A in the body, such as carrots, pumpkins, broccoli, oranges, etc.
2. Foods rich in vitamin C: Although vitamin C does not directly improve chicken skin, it helps reduce melanin deposition, alleviate pigmentation in chicken skin areas, and thus contribute to overall skin whitening. Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits (such as oranges and lemons), tomatoes, hawthorns, strawberries, kiwis, etc.
3. Balanced diet and avoidance of stimulating foods: In addition to the specific nutrients mentioned above, maintaining a balanced diet is also important. One should consume more light and nutritious foods, avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods to reduce skin irritation. Meanwhile, maintaining sufficient water intake helps to moisturize and metabolize the skin.
Although dietary adjustments can help improve chicken skin to some extent, the effect varies from person to person. For patients with severe symptoms, it is recommended to undergo comprehensive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Maintaining good lifestyle and skincare habits is also an important factor in improving chicken skin.
