It has been detected in recent studies that the deposition process of melanin will be affected by excess Vitamin C. Nevertheless, Vitiligo is not caused by melanin deficiency or impossible melanin deposition in the body. Indeed, the local qi and blood disorder, meridian obstruction, non-nutritive blood for skin, qi stagnancy and pore obstruction resulted from the wind and dampness invaded in skin of patients with blood fever or body fever. Therefore, it is unnecessarily for Vitiligo sufferers to diet food containing Vitamin C. On the contrary, the patients should not take the medicine or health-care food containing Vitamin C.
To briefly summarize these dietary and lifestyle measures, they are:
Eat a plant-centered diet - the bulk of your food choices should be vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains that your body doesn't have trouble digesting.
Ensure adequate intake of vitamin B12 and DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid that strict vegans tend to be deficient in).
Ensure adequate vitamin D status through diet and sunlight exposure and supplementation if necessary.
Avoid intake of dairy products and flesh meats.
If you choose to eat some animal products, stick with small amounts of organic eggs and wild fish. Closer to raw is best. Lightly cooked is acceptable.
Strive to be emotionally balanced. Work at being a master of managing emotional stressors.
Get high quality sleep as often as possible. For most humans, nine to ten hours of restful sleep every day is an optimal amount.
