1. Our first food today are vegetables that are high in something known as flavonoids. Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds in vegetables and fruits that have a high antioxidant activity and can help reduce down the inflammation that is associated with skin conditions like dermatitis and other rashes. They do this by helping to neutralize toxins and allergens which can be the cause of this inflammation. There are 6 different flavonoids known as flavonols, flavan-3-ols, flavones, flavanones, isoflavones and anthocyanins.
