A Diet For Psoriasis Can Help Stop Itching

By Charlie Breckenford


I'm confident you've heard the saying "you are what you eat" and how changing the foods you eat can boost your health and well-being. That said, changing to a psoriasis diet is no exception to this particular idea. Our bodies absorb toxins from the air as well as from the food that we eat, and even though some of the toxic compounds are removed via the urine, some are released via the outer skin, which isn't good news for skin psoriasis.

Attempting to eliminate processed foods from our diet is definitely a good thing and will also help any diet for psoriasis. Reducing the toxins within your body can also be aided by switching to foods that are free from organic pesticides where possible. If you can't acquire organic produce or the extra cost is a problem, make sure you wash all of your vegetables and fruit carefully. If you can't reach a market and have to shop at the superstore, disregard the pre-packed produce and go with the unwrapped items. This is also true with regard to pre-packed lettuce which can be washed in chemicals to keep it 'fresh'!

Don't cook your vegetables and where possible, eat them raw, as this will retain the nutrients that the body needs. Raw vegetables are much higher in fiber and more easily digested within your body. Probably the most easily digested products for your body to process are beans, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seafood, and fresh fruits. The more vegetables and fruits which you consume, the less likely you are to develop any allergies.

There has been quite a lot of poor press regarding the amount of fat we consume, however, some fat is essential for your body to work properly and you should not really cut it out of your new eating plan for psoriasis. Even so, the essential fatty acids you need which can help eliminate or lower inflammation, include flax seeds, green leafy vegetables and cold water fish.

Foods which are high in sodium may dehydrate your body and therefore the skin. You don't have to cut salt from your diet for psoriasis entirely, but stop using refined salt and make use of sea salt that is more natural. Ensure you always taste your food before including salt to it. Again, salt has had a bad press, but natural sea salt will not only help improve energy levels and relieve allergies and rashes, replace lost electrolytes and assist the body in being able to resist infections, it will also give you a few of the important minerals your body requires.

Making these few basic changes to your diet for psoriasis may also help the body heal naturally from the inside out therefore making you look and feel healthier.
