Could Vitiligo Patients Eat Seafood?

Seafood has always been a popular food because of its richness in protein, low cholesterol, and various trace elements, which are better than meat in terms of nutrition and health. There are many kinds of seafood, including oysters, lobsters, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, fish eggs, shrimp eggs, and so on, rich in zinc, protein, and other nutrients, which all have the effect of strengthening the human body. But for vitiligo patients, seafood should be eaten selectively.

Vitiligo patients cannot eat fishy smell seafood like sea fish, sea shrimp, sea crab, seaweed, and laver. If you eat too much of this kind of seafood, it can cause skin allergies and prompt new white patches to appear. So as vitiligo patients, you must be careful with those seafood. But vitiligo patients could still eat some seafood including shellfish like conch and oyster, which contain trace elements such as copper, zinc Selenium, which are beneficial for the treatment of vitiligo, and other seafood like river prawns, river crabs, and river fish, are all eatable for vitiligo patients.

Besides, whether or not seafood could be eaten also varies by regional factors, vitiligo patients who live by the sea and mainly eat seafood in the past could still eat seafood, because their body has already adapted to this kind of intake of such seafood substances, a sudden stop of this eating those foods, could do nothing good to the treatment of vitiligo.

So whether or not vitiligo patients could eat seafood, varies from person to person and from region to region. Vitiligo patients should follow the medical advice of doctors, and pay strict attention to their daily diet.
