Some Food Must be Avoided if You Have Vitiligo? It is More Healthy to Eat This Way Instead!

"Doctor, I have vitiligo, every day I pay attention to avoid some food, I don't eat any fruit that contains Vitamin C, I search online and find some food that can't be eaten, so I also don't eat them, but why is my white patches still there?"

Are you also like this patient above, paying extraordinary attention to the every day diet, afraid that if one meal is right, the white patches will spread?

I. Is It Really Right for People with Vitiligo to Have Strict Food Restrictions?

The formal Chief Physician of Dermatology from a very famous General Hospital in Asia wants to tell you: this is NOT right.

(1) The Relationship between Diet and Physical Health:

With strict food restrictions, the structure of the diet will have more carbohydrates, with an unbalanced diet and insufficient nutrient intake, which is detrimental to overall health, and will only result in the deficiencies of trace elements.

Trace elements will indirectly affect the metabolism of melanocytes, if vitiligo patients lack them in the body, the number of melanocytes on the skin will be reduced, thus causing the spread of white patches, aggravating the condition.

(2) Diet is Related to the Mood:

Scientific studies have confirmed that nutritional interventions can play an important role in the mental health of people with vitiligo.

Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamins B, Vitamin D3, and other nutrients in food can effectively improve the mood of vitiligo patients and relieve depression or anxiety, which will also support the treatment of vitiligo.

If vitiligo patients have limited diet structure, it is difficult to take sufficient nutrients, which will also have an impact on the mood, as well as on the treatment.

II. What is the Better Way of Eating with Vitiligo?

In Brief, the Daily Dietary Requirements for People with Vitiligo are as Follows:

(1) Vitiligo patients should have a safe and healthy diet:

Do not consume products that have no production date, no shelf life, and no specific labeling. Such irregular food can easily cause food poisoning and indigestion in some countries, which is very harmful to your health.

(2) Vitiligo patients should ensure to have a regular diet:

Eat fewer snacks to avoid the additives contained in snacks, such as coloring agents, preservatives, and sweeteners, which can cause direct harm to your health.

(3) Vitiligo Patients Should Ensure a Balanced Nutrition

Do not be anorexic (don't like to eat) or only eat partial kinds of food, so as to avoid insufficient intake of nutrients, which will lead to a decline in immunity, affect the normal development of the body and lead to the occurrence of many diseases.

If you want to take good care of your vitiligo through diet, the core is not to remember what foods you can't eat but to compare a balanced diet to find out what can be improved with your daily diet.

After the appearance of white patches on the body, vitiligo patients should not start to avoid food, they just need to pay more attention to it.
