Scaly lichen and obesity: how to lose weight

Doctors' opinions on fasting days and medical fasting

A large number of people with psoriasis consider fasting to be a good method of therapy for their disease, but what do experts say about this?

Their opinion is that such manipulation can harm the body.

Doctors do not exclude the possibility of using fasting days, but this should be done only under their control and taking into account the absence of negative effects on other concomitant diseases.

The mono diet, even if it only lasts one day a week, deprives the body of many beneficial and nutritious substances, which do not have the best effect on health in general, and on skin condition in particular.Accordingly, other diseases may arise that complicate the course of psoriasis. In addition, as a rule, when observing such a diet, a person experiences stress and emotional stress, and, as you know, this factor is one of the main provocations of the development of pathology, as well as its exacerbation.

Psoriasis is a disease that must be treated permanently. Without control and adherence to proper recommendations, a person exposes himself to frequent relapses and complex subsequent therapies. One of the most important moments in the life of a person with psoriasis is his diet. Many common foods may be prohibited, however, if the patient desires long -term remission, only permitted foods should be taken.
