Today, I thought I would write you my first eczema diet recipe.
If you read my previous blogs, you will know that I’ve recently found out I’m intolerant to dairy products, and since then I have decided to take action and change my eczema diet.
Guacamole Recipe
I wish that eczema and diet were not related at all, I love food and I find it very hard restricting myself to certain types of food and staying away from other types. I love sweet, carby yummies! I know they’re bad for me in general let alone for my eczema! But as long as I’m “good” most of the time then I feel it’s fine to treat myself 
Changing your eczema diet to suit your food intolerance is difficult at first I won’t even deny that! But once you get used to these changes, which may take some time, then it’s not too bad. I am still getting used to my changes but I’m also having fun finding new foods to try out!
Anyway, so back to the eczema diet, I want to talk to you about guacamole! Which is an avocado based dip.
My husband introduced me to guacamole last year when he made some for me. I never liked avocados before that and refused to eat them. It was something about the texture that I wasn’t fond of. Like my mum always says to me, if you don’t like something that’s healthy, just think of it as medicine! It’s a good theory but it never works on me (haha)! Ok so I’ll show you how I make guacamole then I’ll explain why it’s good for you to include it in your eczema diet. You will need:
Eczema Diet Recipe – Guacamole Ingredients:
2 avocados, ripe
Onions (amount depends on your taste!)
Olive oil to taste
1 lemon
1 tomato
Cucumber (as much as you want!)
And finally salt and pepper to taste
So basically what you do is, spoon out the avocado with a spoon and add to a bowl, this should be easy if the avocado is ripe. Cut the onion, tomato and cucumber and add to the avocado, sprinkle with salt and pepper then add the juice of one lemon, then mix…and that’s it! You’re done! Wasn’t that easy J
You can eat it with carrots, crisps, crackers, rice cakes, bread, or just on the side with your meal. What I like about it is that the avocado and lemon taste so cool and refreshing…oh and that it’s super healthy of course!
So why is guacamole good for an eczema diet?
Avocado is great for your health in general. It’s a fruit which is high in natural fats and oils. Now I don’t want you to freak out when I mention fats because it’s the good type of fats! The high percentage of fatty acid helps keep your skin “plump” and moisturized. The oil it contains prevents the skin from drying out which is something anyone with eczema could do with. It also contains vitamins C and E which are also good for the skin in general.
Onions help strengthen the immune system; a strong immune system should help reduce eczema flare-ups and minimise the chances of your eczema becoming infected.
And finally the lemons, tomato and cucumber are good for your health in general. They’re packed full of vitamins and minerals.
Are you now ready to introduce guacamole into your daily eczema diet?
Let me know if you have tried it, if you like it or you want to try it after reading this.
