Benefits for Eczema Fighters
This recipe is packed with nutrients that can benefit eczema fighters. Brown rice is a complex carbohydrate that is high in fiber and can help keep blood sugar levels stable, which can be beneficial for those with eczema. Roasted vegetables provide a variety of vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation in the body, which is often linked to eczema flare-ups. Tofu is a great source of protein, which is essential for skin health, and it is also rich in isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen that may help reduce inflammation and improve skin barrier function in eczema patients.
