Doctors recommend that healthy diet plan for psoriasis treatment

Psoriasis is a serious skin condition, with several forms but with almost always a family history and is known to be linked to an abnormal immune system. What happens is that the epidermis (outer skin layer) goes wild and the skin cells replace themselves in a few days instead of the normal 48 days. The result is a build-up of dead skin cells and thick scales forming together with some itching. It mostly attacks the knees, elbows, buttocks and scalp although half of sufferers find their fingernails affected also.

People who have psoriasis have to take care of their diet, so that this disease does not pose any further problems for them. Maintaining a good diet, or developing a better lifestyle is a good way of treating any disease and it also applies for psoriasis patients as well.

Firstly remove all wheat, dairy and sugar from temptation. Replace this with rice noodles, vegetable soups (or make your own), cereals, oatbran and rye breads. Drink two litres of fluid each day but not tea, coffee or sugary (incl.diet) drinks. Herbal teas such as camomile, fennel and peppermint will all help digestion.

Breakfast – Fruit, oatmeal or a cereal that does not contain wheat or sugar.

Lunch – Soup and/or salad with rice or oat cake, or a stir fry of vegetables and grain.

Dinner/Supper – Have the opposite of what you had for lunch.

Snacks – Vegetable and fruit juice with sunflower and pumpkin seeds, 
almonds and unsalted cashew nuts. Soya yoghurts boost the detox and banana and raisin bread made with soya flour.

Before breakfast and lunch make a cleansing drink from 1 cup quality water, juice of half organic, unwaxed lemon, pinch cayenne pepper and 2 teaspoons of quality honey Manuka or organic maple syrup or molasses. Heat and drink warm. For the lunch drink use the same recipe but add one or two teaspoons of finely grated ginger to stimulate the gastric juices and aid digestion.During the second week add 1000mg Vitamin C and a good quality multivitamin.

A serious detox programme such as this will have side effects ranging from migraine like headaches to almost flu symptoms. You will experience mood swings, diarrhoea, bad breath, trouble sleeping and problems regulating your temperature. These are all good signs that the body is ridding itself of damaging toxins.
