Rosacea is not a sign of heavy alcohol use. However, because consuming alcohol causes blood vessels to dilate, it may temporarily intensify existing symptoms.
Certain medications can also cause rosacea-like symptoms. Vasodilators and topical steroids have been known to cause rosacea outbreaks. | | Usual causes: Indigestion, often from eating fatty or spicy foods.
Warning: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common cause of heartburn. Mild cases can be treated with antacids, but GERD that occurs more than once a week can cause serious damage to the esophagus. There also is an association between chronic GERD and esophagus cancer.
Patients usually require acid-blocking medications, such as omeprazole (Prilosec) or ranitidine (Zantac).
Helpful: If you need antacids more than once or twice a week, see your doctor.

TIP: TAKE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
Take 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice when you are experiencing indigestion. If this eliminates your symptoms you may be deficient in stomach acid.
Supplements: If using antacids, avoid brands that include peppermint, as this can relax the low esophageal sphincter. This muscle, at the base of the esophagus, keeps food and digestive acids in the stomach. | | Avoid eating meat, spicy foods, and known food allergens such as milk. These foods exacerbate heat symptoms and promote inflammation. Instead, eat plenty of lightly steamed vegetables and salads, which are cooling and nourishing for the skin.
Supplements: Vitamin C with bioflavonoids promotes skin healing and raises immunity. Take 1,000 mg three times a day. The gamma linoleic oil (GLA) found in evening primrose oil is an essential anti-inflammatory for the skin. Adults should take 3,000 mg of the oil and children should take 1,000 mg. | | The most common triggers include alcohol, tea, coffee, and spicy foods.
Belladonna: Use Belladonna if affected areas of skin feel hot and dry, and look bright red. Belladonna has a reputation for reducing inflammation and should be used at first sign of an outbreak of spots. Belladonna will either disperse the inflammation, or move it on to 148 the next stage of pus production. At this point, a different remedy will need to be selected. | | Hot and spicy foods should be eaten only in small amounts.
NATUROPATHY
Diet: To help control Candida, eat chicken, eggs, fish, yogurt, vegetables, nuts, seeds, oils, and plenty of raw garlic. Increase your fiber intake to 1 tsp —1 tbsp of soluble fiber, containing guar gum, psyllium husks, flaxseeds, or pectin, mixed with 8 oz of water, drunk twice a day on an empty stomach. Eliminate refined and simple sugars, including white or brown sugar, raw sugar, honey, molasses, or grain sweeteners. The sugar substitute stevia is allowed. Avoid milk, alcohol, fruit or dried fruit, and mushrooms. |

Over-the-counter medications can also play a role. Electromagnetic fields, both natural and artificial, may play a role in diminishing the function of the pineal gland, resulting in decreased melatonin production and an imbalanced body clock.
One of the most prevalent consequences of a disrupted circadian rhythm is an illness called seasonal affective disorder (SAD). | | Poor Diet and Food Allergies
Stimulants such as caffeine, sugar, and spicy foods are major contributors to sleep disorders. Caffeine, found in coffee, nonherbal teas, soft drinks, and many over-the-counter drugs, can remain in the body from 12 to 20 hours, thwarting sleep.42 Sugar and refined carbohydrates create uneven blood sugar levels that can disrupt your sleep in the middle of the night. Another side effect of excessive sugar consumption is insulin rebound, in which the body is overwhelmed with an influx of simple sugars and as a result cannot digest food properly. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Diet: Eat foods that are juicy and mild such as lettuce, bok choy, Chinese broccoli (found in Chinese groceries), daikon radish, strawberries, pears, mango, grapes, cantaloupe melon, and watermelon. Hot, spicy foods, such as chilies, red and green peppers, and pepper, should be avoided.
NATUROPATHY
Diet: Eat light foods consisting of steamed vegetables, freshly made soups, and broths. Add garlic, ginger, and onions to soup for their tonifying, ^ #?A antimicrobial, and warming properties. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Avoid spicy foods. Foods containing cayenne or other peppers have a thermogenic effect, meaning that they raise body temperature.
•Cook using garlic, onion, thyme, oreg-ano and sage. These seasonings contain very small amounts of phytoestrogens (plant-based estrogens, such as lignans and isoflavones, that occur naturally in certain foods) and can help restore hormone balance.
•Cut down on caffeine. Caffeine stimulates the adrenal glands, leading to a spike in blood sugar levels followed by a plunge in blood sugar to levels even lower than before. |

Physical comforting: Feeding techniques that involve frequent, gentle burping, are encouraged as is rocking, cradling, and comforting the baby. Avoid overstimulating irritable babies when they are crying by reducing visual and auditory inputs. However, serene music and lullabies may be soothing and quieting. Massaging the baby may also be effective. |
Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts | | Other foods that also relax or weaken the LES are tomatoes, spicy foods, onions, citrus fruits and juices, alcohol, and tobacco.
And then there are foods that slow down digestion, keeping the food in your stomach longer. This can result in increased pressure in the stomach, which in turn puts more pressure on a weakened LES, allowing reflux of stomach contents. These include fried or fatty foods and large meals.
Many people try drinking milk to ease heartburn before sleep, but milk may end up causing more heartburn distress. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Although people with active peptic ulcer may be bothered by "spicy" foods containing cayenne pepper, spicy foods do not cause ulcers in normal individuals. Furthermore, there is some evidence that supports the idea that spicy foods containing cayenne and turmeric may actually help heal peptic ulcers. Specifically, double-blind studies have shown that red pepper consumption protects against aspirin-induced stomach damage and improves abdominal pain, fullness, and nausea scores in people with nonulcer dyspepsia. |

See book keywords and concepts |  If your tongue looks more like a rare steak than ham steak and eating spicy foods makes it burn, you may have the classic signs of a condition called bald tongue—medically known as atrophic glossitis. As the name implies, the tongue has lost its protective hair-like papillae, leaving it red and irritated. Like a balding head, a balding tongue tends to occur in older people. It may be a sign that their dentures don't fit well and are rubbing against their tongues. But it may also signal a vitamin B deficiency or thrush. (See Burning, Tingling Lips or Mouth, above. | | Noxious fumes, smoking, and spicy foods or drinks can set off a bout. So can having a cold drink while eating a hot meal. In fact, hiccups may be your body's way of saying you're eating or drinking too much or too fast. One theory is that hiccups are reflexes that keep you from choking on food and beverages.
Most bouts of hiccupping are brief, lasting only a few minutes; but sometimes they can continue considerably longer. An attack that goes on for more than 2 or 3 hours is referred to as persistent or protracted hiccups. |
Tori Hudson, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Stress, hot or spicy foods, hot drinks, warm environments, alcohol, and caffeine are the most common triggers. Hot flashes are sudden, transient episodes ranging from just feeling warm or overheated to intense heat and perspiration. Women tend to describe a wavelike sensation over the body, particularly of the upper torso, face, and head. If the hot flashes occur at night and are associated with what can be drenching perspiration, they are called night sweats.
The number of women in the United States who are affected by hot flashes is remarkable. |
Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan
See book keywords and concepts | | Hyperhidrosis can be triggered by high outdoor temperatures, overheated rooms, spicy foods, hot drinks, caffeine, and alcohol, as well as several medications. (See Night Sweats, below.)
WARNING SIGN
You may think it's good to sweat a lot, especially in the gym, but excessive sweating can cause you to lose calcium. (Yet another reason to take calcium supplements.) Sweating also stresses the heart. So if you have cardiac problems or are elderly, don't overdo it. nipples, and on hairy places, such as the scalp and genital region. | | Wind, sun, strenuous exercise, stress, spicy foods, and caffeine can all trigger or exacerbate rosacea. And it's especially common among people who abuse alcohol. In fact, alcohol-related rosacea is responsible for the bulbous noses often seen on rash OF ROSACEA heavy drinkers. (See Chapter 4.)
Facial flushing can also be the earliest sign of a very rare but very serious condition called carcinoid syndrome, which is caused by an uncommon type of cancer called carcinoid tumor. |
Michael Pollan
See book keywords and concepts |  Eating spicy foods help people keep cool; many spices also have antimicrobial properties, which is important in warm climates where food is apt to spoil rapidly. And indeed researchers have found that the hotter a climate is, the more spices will be found in the local cuisine.
Of course cuisines are not only concerned with health or even biology; many culinary practices are arbitrary and possibly even maladaptive, like the polishing of rice. |
Hyla Cass, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  This forty-three-year-old mother of four tried chewing aluminum-containing antacids and cutting down on spicy foods and coffee, but nothing seemed to help.
She turned to the OTC acid-reducer Zantac, and felt some relief from the heartburn—but her stomach became bloated and full for hours after each meal, and the constipation that started while she was popping several antacids a day grew worse. Her husband informed her that her breath was "stinky," which didn't surprise her. When she swallowed, she felt like something was caught in her throat. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In addition, foods that contain the dominant tastes of sweet, sour and salty pacify Vata, whereas those that are pungent as in spicy foods, bitter as in bitter greens, and astringent as in regular black tea or beans, greatly upset it. A meal consisting of a lettuce salad, hot vegetable curry with steamed potatoes, kidney beans and ice cream can derange Vata for many days, whereas a meal consisting of an avocado with lemon and salt, stir fried asparagus, and Basmati rice with butter and almonds can keep the Vata type balanced and strong. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Simple as it sounds, opening windows and using fans or air conditioners, even in the winter and especially at night when you are sleeping, helps keep you cool. Hot, spicy foods, caffeinated beverages, and alcohol can trigger hot flashes in some women. Avoid these or any other foods or drinks that raise body temperature.
Relaxation techniques help some women fight off hot flashes. Meditation, deep-breathing exercises, and yoga are all worth trying. Even if they don't end up preventing hot flashes, you will get other benefits from these activities, such as improved sleep and general calmness. | | Contrary to myth, spicy foods do not make dyspepsia worse.) Although alcohol, smoking, and caffeine can exacerbate ulcers or GERD, they don't have a specific relationship to functional dyspepsia. Proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs (see page 159), have not been shown to be effective treatments for functional dyspepsia.
Cisapride (Propulsid), used in the treatment of functional dyspepsia, is a medication that stimulates release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Spicy foods and hot drinks have been reported anecdo-tally by rosacea sufferers to cause flare-ups,2 but no controlled research has evaluated these claims. One small, preliminary report suggested that fasting followed by a vegan diet (allowing no animal flesh foods, dairy products, or eggs) had only small and inconsistent effects on rosacea.3
Lifestyle changes that may be helpful
Sun exposure, stress, excessive exercise, and extreme temperatures (hot or cold) of weather or bathing water may trigger flare-ups of rosacea, so avoiding these conditions is recommended. |
