In Chinese medicine, there is a saying that “medicine and food have the same origin”. According to the effect of these herbs on the balance of yin and yang in the human body, Chinese medicine classifies them into different odor properties of warm, hot, cold and cool. When treating diseases, hot diseases are toned down with cold medicines and foods, while cold diseases are toned down with warm medicines and foods. On the contrary, people with hot diseases should not use warm medicines and foods anymore, and people with cold diseases should not use cold medicines and foods anymore, which is what Chinese medicine often tells patients to “avoid eating”. Whether psoriasis needs to be avoided is always one of the most confusing issues for psoriasis patients. Some doctors also require patients to abstain from eating, and even say that all hair products should be abstained from, causing a certain amount of psychological pressure on patients and bringing a lot of inconvenience in their lives. Imagine if the fragrance disappears from your table, your life will not also lose the taste of freshness. So, how to solve this contradiction? The right attitude is to treat it dialectically and selectively avoid eating it. First of all, rich protein is not included in the list of contraindications. The large amount of scales shed by psoriasis patients makes the body lose a large amount of keratin, which will cause hypoproteinemia if not supplemented in time. Eggs are therefore a nutritious food, unless your intestines are unable to digest and absorb it. Eggs are complete organisms, containing all the substances necessary for the formation of chicks, and are of high biological value. Another special recommendation is fish, which is low in fat and is a “storehouse” of proteins, nucleic acids and many biological elements. Its fish oil, rich in polyene fatty acids, can also be used as an alternative therapy for psoriasis. In addition, don’t forget that good quality and inexpensive soy products and fresh and tasty dairy products are good choices for patients. Now, let’s take a look at the foods that patients should be warned about. Patients are most often told about strong alcohol, strong tea, coffee and spicy and acidic foods. Many reports also confirm that they do have a negative effect on the onset and progression of psoriasis. For most patients, it is better to eat them sparingly. Of course, in some patients who habitually use this type of diet, the taboo causes them great psychological pressure, which is instead detrimental to the disease, and in this case, it is necessary to avoid the heavy and handle it as appropriate. Secondly, avoid high-fat and high-sugar diets. The existence of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia in patients with psoriasis is an undisputed fact. The deficiency of multiple biological elements can put your nerves in a high state of tension and reduce your resistance to the outside world. Finally, patients can also reject foods that have had much adverse effects on their disease in the past, depending on their experience. Therefore, we suggest patients, put some healthful foods on the table. First of all, low fat and high protein, use chicken and fish to replace beef and mutton; then, to ensure sufficient vitamins and various biological elements, use fruit juice to replace alcoholic beverages, use herbal tea to replace strong tea and coffee; finally, you should also pay attention to the method of food processing and cooking, as fresh as possible, fruits and vegetables are best cooked less, learn to eat coarse grains and avoid over-refining cereals.
