Association between plant-based diet and health/diseases of the skin. Skin health is influenced by the immune system, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors such as UV radiation, smoking, pollution, humidity, and diet. A Western diet has been shown to negatively impact skin health by disrupting the microbiome and leading to skin diseases. Conversely, a plant-based diet has been associated with healthier skin due to its ability to enrich and modulate the microbiome through various plant-based dietary patterns.
