💛🥚 Summer Beauty: How to Think About Vitamin B2? Tips for Managing the Mouth, Lips, and Sebum Balance [Part 36]
Hello☀️ It's as hot as midsummer here in Chiba today🥵
Please take care of your health!
Now, when it comes to summer beauty, we tend to focus on
UV rays
Pores
Sebum
Moisturizing
and other forms of "external care."
But in reality,
prone to mouth area irritation
lips that are always dry
skin feeling somewhat unstable
At times like these, it's also a good idea to review your diet🍽️
This time's theme is
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) ✨
B2 is a nutrient involved in cellular function and energy metabolism, and it's a vitamin that often comes up in discussions about the mouth, lips, and skin. Source
🌿 First, the conclusion
It is more natural to think of Vitamin B2 as a hint for balancing your diet rather than as the "star of beauty supplements." is.
If you are deficient,
skin problems
inflammation at the corners of the mouth
swelling or cracking of the lips
can occur.
However, conversely, it is not recommended to view supplements as a cure-all.
First and foremost, balancing your daily diet is the foundation. Source Source
🧪 What kind of vitamin is Vitamin B2?
Vitamin B2 is a nutrient involved in converting the food you eat into energy, as well as in body growth and cellular function.
The recommended daily intake for adults is,
Men 1.3mg
Women 1.1mg
is. Source
🍳 What kind of foods is it in?
Vitamin B2 is contained in the following foods👇
Eggs
Organ meats like liver
Lean meat
Dairy products like low-fat milk
Mushrooms
Spinach
Fortified cereals
Bread and grain products
Rather than “buying something special for beauty,” it is important to
check if it is missing from your daily diet ✨ Source
💋 Things that tend to be a concern when deficient
In general information materials, vitamin B2 deficiency is associated with
Skin problems
Soreness or cracks at the corners of the mouth
Swollen lips
Chapped lips
Throat discomfort
Hair loss
It is said that things like this can occur. Source
In medical information as well,
angular cheilitis
cheilitis
redness and swelling of the mouth and throat
and the like are organized. Source
Of course, these are not necessarily caused by B2 alone.
However, if you have persistent issues with your mouth or lips, it is a topic that can serve as a trigger to review your diet ✨
👩 To those in their 20s
Your 20s are a time when
you tend to skip breakfast
you eat a lot of convenience store food
you tend to just have bread or noodles
and your nutrition can easily become monotonous.
If your lips are prone to chapping or the corners of your mouth are prone to cracking,
first of all,
eggs
yogurt
mushrooms
leafy vegetables
just adding these somewhere will make a difference 🍳🥬 Source
💼 To those in their 30s
Your 30s are a busy time when
your meals tend to become "just whatever is convenient."
Just a rice ball
Just bread
Just noodles
When this kind of "single-item eating" continues, nutritional gaps easily occur. When you have persistent issues with your lips or mouth area, it is important not only to care for them from the outside but also to
add a little protein and side dishes to your diet.✨ Source
🌷 For those in their 40s and older
For those 40 and older,
a feeling of dryness
disrupted skin texture
mouth area issues
inconsistent meal portions
and other factors tend to overlap.
What is important here is
to "reduce imbalances" rather than "taking large amounts of something.".
Rather than thinking of Vitamin B2 as a dramatic beauty ingredient, it is more reasonable to think of it as
the foundation of a diet for protective beauty. Source
⚠️ Precautions when considering supplements
According to the NIH ODS, riboflavin itself has not been shown to be harmful. Source
However, reviews in the field of dermatology have also mentioned
reports linking Vitamin B2 supplementation to the worsening of existing acne. Source
Therefore,
deficiency is a problem
but large doses of supplements are not necessarily a cure-all
It is natural to think about it in terms of this balance🌿
First,balancing your overall diet comes first.
