In addition to receiving normal treatment, patients with vitiligo should also pay attention to a reasonable diet in their daily lives. The excess or deficiency of trace elements in the body is also one of the important reasons for the onset of vitiligo. Therefore, the diet for vitiligo should ensure adequate nutrient intake. Below, please allow the vitiligo experts from the Third Hospital of Shanxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to explain the importance of ensuring nutritional intake in the diet for vitiligo.
**The Diet for Vitiligo Must Ensure Nutritional Intake**
On one hand, patients with vitiligo need to ensure the intake of essential nutrients and consume foods that help prevent and treat vitiligo. The general principle is that patients with vitiligo should eat more foods rich in copper, zinc, iron, and other metallic elements, which can enhance the activity of tyrosinase and accelerate melanin synthesis. It's advisable to regularly eat foods containing tyrosine and minerals, such as lean pork, animal livers, eggs (chicken, duck, quail eggs), vegetables (fresh vegetables like radishes, eggplants, bamboo shoots), beans (soybeans, peas, mung beans, bean products), peanuts, black sesame seeds, walnuts, etc.
On the other hand, patients with vitiligo should avoid smoking, as it harms the immune function and threatens overall health; therefore, smoking should be quit. Excessive alcohol consumption causes repeated damaging stimulation to the skin, destroying the skin's detoxification and metabolic functions. Drinking should be moderate to avoid poisoning. A small amount of alcohol can promote blood circulation, and red wine even has anti-cancer and blood vessel softening effects. However, drinking should still be controlled, with no more than 100 grams per day. Stay away from unclean and contaminated food, pesticide residues, which after bioaccumulation, enter the body and harm health. Fruits should have their skins removed, and vegetables should be soaked and rinsed with detergent before eating. Green food is the best choice.
The above is an introduction by the vitiligo experts from the Third Hospital of Shanxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine on ensuring nutritional intake in the diet for vitiligo. The disease of vitiligo has a significant impact on the physical and mental health of patients. For patients with vitiligo, timely treatment is the guarantee for recovery.
