Vitiligo is a common skin condition that almost 1 in every 100 people
develops. In this condition, the patient develops white patches on the body.
They can be scattered all over the body or target one specific body part.
Although it is painless, but it has a huge impact psychologically and thus,
needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
Foods that are excessively sour should be avoided. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is known to inhibit the production of the melanin, the color pigment. Patients with vitiligo are suggested to refrain from citrus fruits, sour yogurt, sour pickles, etc.Non-vegetarian food are better avoided, as much as possible, as they act as a foreign body to pigment cells.
It has been observed that industrial chemicals (such as mercury) could enter our body through sea food, especially fish; which better be avoided.
We have observed at Life Force certain fish leading to sudden aggravation of vitiligo in some patients.
Artificial colors used in various food preparations may better be reduced or avoided as far as possible.
