Vitiligo food therapy should pay attention to what food

First of all, vitiligo patients should pay attention to diet, try to avoid eating foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, green peppers, oranges, kiwi fruit, strawberries and so on. Vitiligo patients should be alcohol free, do not eat spicy food, do not eat "hair" such as mutton, dog meat, shrimp, crab and so on.

Secondly, due to the lack of some trace metal elements in the blood and leukoplakia of vitiligo patients, the activity of tyrosinase in the body is reduced, which affects the anabolism of melanin and produces lesions. Therefore, patients should eat more food containing copper, zinc, iron and other metal elements to enhance the activity of tyrosinase and accelerate the synthesis of melanin.

Finally, usually eat more foods containing tyrosine and minerals, meat (beef, rabbit, pig lean meat), animal liver, eggs (eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs), milk (milk, yogurt), vegetables (fresh vegetables, radish, eggplant, winter bamboo shoots, fungus, kelp, etc.), beans (soybeans, peas, mung beans, bean products), peanuts, black sesame, walnuts, raisins, snails, clams and other shell foods . Meanwhile, avoid chili, wine, beer or Baijiu, and tomatoes, because tomatoes contain lots of vitamin C. Vitamin C can interrupt the synthesis of melanin and prevent the regeneration of melanin. Other foods containing more vitamin C, such as orange, grapefruit, apricot, hawthorn, cherry, kiwi, strawberry, Bayberry and so on, should be eaten less or not.
