Control your psoriasis
Psoriasis is a condition that affects your skin. It may affect only parts of your skin or, if it spreads, it may cover your entire body. If you suffer from psoriasis, it is important to eat a healthy and balanced diet as this will help get rid of it, although psoriasis is difficult to eliminate and you need to constantly monitor it. Changing your diet is one way to relieve symptoms, and once you have a new eating plan, it will be easier to stick to it.
People who suffer from psoriasis are at higher risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke, and eating a healthy, balanced diet will reduce the risk of these too. If you want to be sure which foods affect you personally, have your alternative practitioner carry out an inflammation test. This is completely different than the allergy tests your doctor may perform.
However, as a general rule, foods that can cause your psoriasis symptoms to worsen include dairy products, tomatoes, potatoes, fried foods, processed foods, sugar, gluten, and alcohol. In short, denatured foods or foods that are mostly genetically modified or packaged in some way. However, some vegetables can also affect some people. Always start cutting out foods slowly and instead of cutting them out, replace them with other unpackaged organic foods.
Foods that can help keep psoriasis at bay include things like fish and seafood, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These help inflammation and your immune system: lean meats like chicken and turkey; blueberries, which have anti-inflammatory properties as well as vitamin C, manganese and fiber; Carrots and pumpkin, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, and broccoli all have anti-inflammatory properties; Nuts and avocados, which are full of good fats, and grains, which have anti-inflammatory antioxidants and are also high in fiber.
Eating these foods can help relieve your psoriasis symptoms and reduce your risk of developing other health problems such as the aforementioned heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Every person is different and that is why it is not only important to eat a healthy and balanced diet, but also to find out which foods affect your symptoms the most by slowly eliminating one food at a time to see if it has an effect, and if so, stop eating them.
