Shrimp

Imagine relaxing at the seaside with a plate full of cocktail shrimp or shrimp on BBQ, yum! But more than just pleasing the palette, shrimp offer so much more, especially for people prone to acne, eczema, or psoriasis.

Highlighted Benefits

This seafood is incredibly rich in vital nutrients zinc and selenium. Both zinc and selenium are involved in assisting wound healing. Zinc helps to regulate white blood cell activity, and selenium helps reduce inflammation.

If your skin is either too oily or too dry, zinc can help to balance things out since it helps to regulate oil production in the skin gland.

There is a fat-soluble antioxidant found in shrimp called astaxanthin that accumulates in the fatty layers of the skin, which offers anti-inflammatory activities and protection against premature aging.
