Diet for Rosacea -- Do you know the foods to eat for rosacea?


If you suffer from rosacea like me, you probably wonder about the best foods to eat for rosacea.

Rosacea results from an overly acidic body and skin, which can be caused by a number of factors including physical activity, stress, environment, and perhaps most importantly, diet. Eating a special diet for rosacea is a fairly simple way to prevent flare-ups.

This section will outline a quick diet plan of food to eat for rosacea and also list foods that can cause rosacea flare-ups.



Diet for Rosacea

Your skin is an organ and requires adequate nutrition to function correctly. A diet for rosacea should consist of a variety of healthful foods and certain foods that are known to cause flare-ups should be avoided.

Many common foods and drinks can trigger a rosacea flare-up and it's important to find your own triggers and change your daily routine to prevent aggravating the condition.

Some types of food and drinks, such as meat, cheese, alcohol, and stimulants like coffee and cigarettes, form acids when processed by the body.

Other foods, primarily fruits and vegetables, are alkaline-forming, which helps to neutralize acids. By following a healthy diet rich in alkaline-forming foods, you can balance your body and reduce your rosacea symptoms while improving your overall health.

My recommendation for the best rosacea diet should be to avoid or limit the following foods:

diet for rosacea
  • Citrus fruits and juices, red plums, tomatoes, raisins and cholocate
  • Yogurt, cheese, sour cream, avacados,
  • Seasonings like soy sauce, MSG, vinegar, and yeast extract
  • Meats and seafood such as liver, lobster and pawns


  • Alcoholic drinks such as beer, bourbon, red wine, gin or vodka and hot drinks, including hot chocolate, coffee and tea can also aggravate rosacea.

    Following a rosacea diet rich in alkaline-forming foods will help prevent flare-ups . . . and improve your overall health.

    diet for rosacea
  • Eat plenty of vegetables, especially salad greens and sprouts
  • Whole grains, seeds and nuts
  • Chicken and fish
  • Seaweed is also good for the skin and helps eliminate dampness
  • Cherries, blackberries and blueberries are vascular constrictors, which actually assist in reducing redness
  • Drink 10-12 glasses of water a day between meals

    I have also found it beneficial to include in my diet three servings a week from the Omega-3 supplements. These are essential fatty supplements that will help in providing an overall balanced diet as well as easing the discomfort that comes with ocular rosacea.

    You owe it to yourself to use only the purest, and thus the safest omega-3 fish oil available, plus it also has to be the most effective in order for you to receive the maximum benefits. That's why I choose omega 3 fish oil supplements made by the Xtend-Life products company.

    Through all of my research and the many different health supplements I have taken, I have not come across too many products that have met my needs completely until I found Xtend life supplements.

    I have listed the reasons that I think they are the best and most reliable company.

    First and foremost, their products work. My energy level and immune system is increased, and I noted as others in my house were sick with colds and flu, I did not get sick.

    Xtend-life's products are GMP compliant (guaranteed to be pharmaceutical grade) and have been clinically proven to be safe for people of all ages.

    The formulas used to produce their products are signed off by Dr. Munem Daoud, PhD, who is also a qualified biochemist as well as a Naturopath and Herbalist.

    The dosages and number of individual nutrients used in each formula ensure that each product provides the body with the greatest choice of 'raw' ingredients to help achieve the objective of each supplement and minimize any waste.

    If you and your family want the best product possible there are certain 'rules' that you need to follow. They are:

    PURITY: The fish oil must be free from any contaminants. Xtend-Life’s Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil is the purest in the world. Proven! More info...

    FRESHNESS: This means low oxidation levels. Xtend-Life's Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil is the freshest available. Even though there are no additives or flavoring to mask rancidity you will not get 'repeats' or 'burping' because of the freshness. We guarantee this or we will give you a full refund! More info...

    ANTI-INFLAMMATORY: This function of fish oil is the reason why it provides so many health benefits. Xtend-Life's Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil has over two and a half times better anti-inflammatory properties that 'normal' fish oil and more than double high concentrated omega 3 fish oil. Proven! More info...

    BIO-AVAILABILITY: It must be in a 'natural' form. This means a natural triglyceride or ethyl ester form, NOT a synthetic triglyceride which many fish oils are. More info...

    HIGH DHA CONTENT: DHA is the most valuable 'known' component of fish oil. Xtend-Life's DHA Fish oil has high levels of DHA, plus an 'X' factor you can read about in the Anti-Inflammatory section.


    Treatment for Rosacea

    In addition to a rosacea diet, you might consider a natural treatment. Many people in the health care field believe rosacea is curable by using the right natural treatments, because treating rosacea from the inside as well as from the outside will relieve symptoms and provide temporary relief.

    Treatment from the inside will detoxify and rebuild the body and prevent the problems from coming back in the future.

    An extremely effective product that contains only safe and natural ingredients is the Rosacea Skin Support System. This is a doctor tested formula which includes all natural pure botanicals with the right combination and strength, making it gentle, yet very effective.

    ZenMed backs their confidence with a 60 day money back guarantee.

    While a proper rosacea diet can help improve rosacea skin conditions, using the effective natural topical treatments and taking the right supplements can provide you with long term relief from rosacea symptoms and stop it from spreading and causing further damage to your skin.
