Skin Integumentary System
The Integumentary System, which consists of the skin, hair, and nails, serves as the body's first line of defense. It protects against environmental stress, regulates temperature, and reflects overall internal health and nutrition. Skin issues often indicate deeper imbalances, such as inflammation, poor digestion, hormonal fluctuations, or toxin buildup. Taking care of the skin from the inside through balanced nutrition and proper care can help restore its natural glow and resilience.
Diseases Associated with the Skin

Role of Diet
Diet plays a central role in maintaining healthy, radiant skin. The right nutrition helps to:
- Promote collagen production and skin elasticity
- Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress
- Support hydration and natural detoxification
- Balance oil secretion and prevent breakouts
- Strengthen hair and nail structure
A nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory diet is key to glowing skin and a balanced complexion.
