Dietary Guidelines for Vitiligo Patients

                                     Dietary Guidelines for Vitiligo Patients

1.Regarding Vitamin C and Spicy Foods

At least 80% of patients ask more than once online that vitamin C cannot be taken? Oranges, tomatoes, etc. cannot be eaten? Can't you eat spicy food? Can't you eat seafood?

Although there is still controversy over the correlation between vitiligo and a high vitamin C diet.However, it is okay to supplement vitamin C appropriately in daily life, such as eating an orange or an apple every day.

2. Rich in tyrosine and mineral foods

Life is a science of balance, no matter how good things are, they should not be excessive. Everyone can add more lean meat and eggs to their daily diet appropriately.Animal organs, milk, fresh vegetables, beans, nuts such as walnuts, and shellfish such as snails and clams.Because such foods are rich in tyrosine and minerals, and melanin is produced by tyrosine under the action of tyrosinas.Tyrosinase requires the participation of minerals such as copper and zinc to enhance its activity. But there's no need to eat it every day or in large quantities, especially black sesame seeds.

3. About copper shortage

In theory, eating more copper rich foods can help with pigment deposition. There is indeed experimental data proving that the copper content in the serum and white spot tissue of vitiligo patients is often lower than that of normal individuals.So some people may say that using copper utensils such as copper spoons and bowls to eat can replenish copper, right? In fact, copper in vessels may not necessarily be absorbed.We can only rely on consuming copper containing foods in our daily lives, such as green vegetables, beans, black sesame seeds, oysters, animal liver, etc. Therefore, it is not like some people may say that we cannot eat seafood.

4. Regarding picky eating.

This mainly applies to children, who must have a comprehensive diet and absolutely avoid biased eating habits.In daily life, it is important to pay attention to scientific dietary adjustments and food combinations to ensure sufficient nutrition for the human body.Eating selectively can lead to food imbalance, nutritional deviation, lack of trace elements, weakened immune system, and unfavorable growth of pigment cells.
