As Psoriasis is a lifelong condition caused by an autoimmune response, it’s highly essential to identify that diet may play a bigger role than we think in how our body handles inflammation.
Autoimmune response means , when the body mistakenly attacks its own tissues , and sometimes psoriasis is accompanied by psoriasis arthritis , an inflammatory joint condition
Next Steps
Avoid the food triggers that fires up the inflammation in the body like
1. Fatty foods like red meat, cheese, fried foods, margarine or any cheap quality fat especially found in commercial foods /fast foods, that increase inflammation in the adipose tissue
2. Dairy & by-products of dairy which also leads to inflammation, for lactose intolerant people
3. Refined carbs like breakfast cereals, sugary sweets/drinks/sodas
4. Foods high in added sugar or baked goods like cakes, cookies, biscuits & ready to eat snacks as the body stores these excess sugar & inflame the body tissues later
5. Foods containing gluten like breads/bakeries/ cereals/wheat or it’s by-products like sooji/dalia etc also must be completely avoided
