Not just medications

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects millions of people around the world. Although psoriasis cannot be completely cured, proper nutrition can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Here are the basic principles to follow if you have psoriasis.

Avoid foods that increase inflammation

Psoriasis often activates inflammatory processes in the body, which can complicate its course. Fast food, trans fats, sugar, refined foods, red meat, and alcohol contribute to this process, which means you should avoid them.

Eat more foods with antioxidants

Antioxidants help fight free radicals that aggravate inflammation and damage the skin. Include more antioxidant-rich foods in your diet. For example, berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries), kiwi, citrus fruits, vegetables (spinach, broccoli, kale), and green tea are all great sources.

Take care of your intestines

There is a theory that psoriasis is a manifestation of "leaky gut" syndrome, where toxins leak out and the body tries to get rid of them through the skin. To heal the gut, it is recommended to "alkalize" the body, that is, to consume "alkaline" foods such as fruits and vegetables more than "acidic" foods like meat and cereals.

Monitor your vitamin D levels

Vitamin D is important for skin and immune system health, so people with psoriasis need to constantly monitor their levels and, if deficient, see a doctor to prescribe supplements.

Drink enough water

Hydrated skin is better able to maintain its protective function, which can reduce psoriasis symptoms. Drink enough water throughout the day to keep your skin and your entire body optimally hydrated.

Try the Mediterranean diet

The world's most popular Mediterranean diet is beneficial for psoriasis. It is based on fish, seafood, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and olive oil. All of these foods are rich in antioxidants and can reduce inflammation.
