Hungry? How What You Eat Affects Your Skin

Abstract

Foods can affect the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of our lives and determine our overall health and productivity. Whether we eat chicken nuggets, apples, or watermelon, food is a vital source of energy that keeps the body’s tissues and organs going during our day-to-day activities. In this article, we examine how various nutrients from foods affect the skin and its ability to protect the body from infections and the elements of the environment. In addition, we briefly discuss a patient who had a wound that was taking a long time to heal, which required surgery to fix. Recommending the right nutrition led to complete healing and cancellation of the surgery.
