Vitiligo is a pigmentation dementia disease, when the melanocyte activity in our body is reduced, growth is slow, and synthesis is reduced, white spots are formed on the skin.
It is precisely because of the presence of melanin that there is a healthy skin tone. Chinese medicine believes that the dietary therapy of "color supplementation" has a significant effect on the treatment of vitiligo, so patients can usually eat more foods that can supplement melanin.
1, dark food: black rice, black beans, black dates, etc
People often say: "what to eat to supplement what", for vitiligo this skin disease, eat more food containing melanin, can achieve the effect of direct supplementation of melanin, is conducive to alleviating the disease, so as to achieve the therapeutic effect of adjuvant treatment.
In dark foods, in order to avoid affecting the disease of white spots and the treatment effect, foods rich in vitamin C, too acidic, and too irritating foods should be eaten as little as possible.
2, animal liver: chicken heart, duck gizzard, pork liver, etc
Animal liver food is rich in minerals, proteins and vitamins, proper consumption can maintain the damaged cell function in the body, timely replenish the missing tyrosine in the body, enhance the activity of tyrosinase, and accelerate the growth and synthesis of melanocytes.
When choosing ingredients, use healthy animal liver, clean it before eating, be sure to cook and fry thoroughly, unclean or half-cooked animal liver, easy to increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other problems, affecting the treatment of patients.
3, meat food: chicken, duck, lean meat, etc
In meat food, containing a variety of essential nutrients, reasonable combination of consumption can enhance the activity of tyrosinase at the patient's skin lesions, to prevent and assist in the treatment of vitiligo has an important role, such as common chicken, duck, rabbit, pig lean meat these can be reasonably eaten.
Do not eat too much meat to avoid increasing the burden on the liver and kidneys. Be sure to cook before eating to prevent all kinds of germs and parasites from multiplying in the human body. At the same time, we must be cautious in the choice of meat, and try to eat as little or no food as possible such as mutton.
4, bean food: tofu, soy milk, dried beans, etc
According to the research of nutritionists, reasonable consumption of legume foods can increase the absorption of fiber, and the plant protein it contains can enhance immunity, and this protein also contains eight kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body, which play a vital role in the growth and synthesis of melanin.
Although legumes are rich in nutrients, patients can not eat too much or single, and they must pay attention to balanced nutrition in their daily diet.
5, shellfish food: snails, oysters, scallops, etc
According to the clinical data of vitiligo, most patients with vitiligo have the copper element in the body is missing. In most shellfish foods, they are rich in copper, which can supplement the nutritional needs of patients in time.
Warm reminder: dietary therapy for leukoplakia rehabilitation effect is obvious, but this role needs to be based on the patient's formal scientific treatment, relying on a single diet alone is not only ineffective, but also delays the treatment time of the disease, only in professional hospitals will be combined with treatment and nursing work, in order to give full play to the efficacy and accelerate the rehabilitation of leukoplakia.
