Psoriasis is a skin disease whose cause and cure remains unknown. The cause is linked to a genetic predisposition, and till now psoriasis can only be controlled with medicines and topical creams and cannot be cured. Thus it is important to find alternative way to be able to deal with this frustrating disease, which severely affects the patient's appearance.

 One thing that can be done is a change in diet to alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis and control its effects. Some diet plans suggest that people suffering from psoriasis should have 1400 calories a day and it should be broken down as:
Breakfast ~ 250 calories
Midmorning Snack ~ 60 calories
Lunch ~ 450 calories
Mid Afternoon Snack ~125 calories
Dinner ~450 calories

 Nutrition provided to the body with eating right can be the basis of healing. The body is equipped to cope better with the disease and nourishes the intestinal system, the origin of your immune system.
Also consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids, healthy fats found in fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, halibut and sardines, may help alleviate inflammation associated with psoriasis, according to the Mayo Clinic. Added healthy fat sources include nuts, seeds, olive oil, canola oil and avocados. Whole grains give valuable carbohydrate sources, which support healthy energy levels, digestion and, since they enhance satiation, weight management. Eating lots of fruits would help as well as it will enhance your immune system and lessen the threat for infections and diseases that may worsen your symptoms.

 There are certain foods that should also be avoided by people suffering from psoriasis. If patient is overweight, low calorie food should be taken and intake of high calorie things should be brought down dramatically. Exercising regularly is also a very important aspect, both for maintaining a healthy weight and strengthening the immune system.

 Dr. Pagano who has made a diet especially for psoriasis patients recommends that the patients keep toxins out of their body and also stop adding toxins to their body. He suggests internal cleansing, herbal teas, etc.
It has also been suggested to avoid food products made out of dough, such as cakes, cookies, bagels, etc. as a distinct correlation between dough and flare ups of psoriasis has been seen in some cases.

 It is also important to note that each case of psoriasis is different, and patients should work closely with their doctors and dermatologists to come up with a diet plan that suits them best.
