The Recipe for Calm Skin: Reducetarian Diet and Anti-Inflammatory Skincare

You’ve probably seen articles online and in magazines before about the benefits of Reducetarian diet. Not only does it have benefits for the planet, but this change can make a big difference to your skin. But what is Reducetarian Diet exactly?

In a plant-based nutshell, a Reducetarian diet means reducing the amount of animal products such as red meat, processed meat, seafood, dairy, and eggs that you eat. You’re not removing them altogether from your diet, instead, you are consciously deciding to have less.

Animal-based foods have been found to cause inflammation in the body. This inflammation can sometimes manifest as visible skin issues like acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and eczema. Fruits and veggies are not only packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients that nourish our bodies, they also help reduce inflammation.

SMALL CHANGE, BIG DIFFERENCE.

Ready to take control of your health but don’t know how to start? Here are some simple meal switches you can make on your road to becoming a Reducetarian!

When you’re trying to eat meat-free, it can often feel like options are limited. Next time you’re at a restaurant, try something new! Head to Da Filippo Tratorria for their flavourful onion soup, traditional spaghetti Aglio olio, or pizza marinara. All delicious, all meat-free!
