FATS AND ECZEMA

​FATS 👋 All this hand washing is really taking its toll on my small ones hands. Hopefully a lot less now we’re housebound (#silverlinings ?!) Dry, red, cracked skin which is pretty sore and obviously we don’t want any bacterial infections to take advantage of broken skin, so to try and combat the dryness I’ve made a high fat smoothie to help. Everyone knows about smoothies, but I’m a huge fan for giving them to kids to get a big dose of nutrients into diets which can sometimes be lacking. In this instance, I basically put in as many high fat ingredients as I could lay my hands on - flaxseed and chia seeds (sources of plant based omega 3 ALA) coconut milk (high in antibacterial lauric acid) tahini (high fat and full of antioxidants such as lignans) blueberries and kiwi (high vitamin C good for the immune system AND skin health) some maple syrup to sweeten slightly, oats (full of beta glucans which are used by many big skin brands to combat eczema) and my final secret ingredient...WATER. A major cause of dry skin can of course be dehydration. Now whilst I’m fairly sure in this case it’s over washing, a bit more hydration will not do any harm... Obviously not everyone has all of these ingredients, but good to include nuts and seeds in your child’s daily diet if you can - avocado’s, oily fish, eggs and olive oils are also all excellent fat sources too. If you’re interested in other tips to keep you or your family healthy during this time, I’m available for online health consultations, see my website for more details. Stay safe peeps and keep washing those 👋 #handwashing #eatrealfood #fats #goodfats #omega3 #eatrealfood #vitaminc #kidsnutrition #eczema #eczemarelief #healthyliving #eczemahealing #eatwellbewell #healthykids #healthyfamily #healthyfood #foodasmedicine #nutritionaltherapist #nutritionaltherapy #bristolfoodie #gingerandpicklesnutrition
