No one likes to hear the word diet. The unpleasant truth is, sometimes our crappy eating habits are the reason for our health issues. While food alone can’t cause the itchy, flaky skin flares common to psoriasis, the wrong kinds of food can make breakouts worse. Yeah, we know. The truth sucks. Making small changes to your diet is a great way to start eating healthier. Adding Omega-3 rich foods is a great way to ease skin irritation. Fish, nuts, and seeds are great sources of this kind of fatty acid. Not into fishy flavors? You can get the same benefits from an Omega-3 supplement.
