This scaly red skin condition results when skin cells reproduce too quickly. This awful skin condition generally shows up on the scalp, knees, legs, and elbows, although it can show up on other parts of the body. We don’t yet know what causes psoriasis, but researchers think that it tends to be inherited and is often linked to arthritis. There is no known cure for psoriasis, but studies have shown that a low-fat, nutrient-rich diet can help alleviate the condition.

You should definitely avoid saturated fats. Try adding more foods that contain omega-3 in them. Omega-3s appear to stop inflammation which can trigger psoriasis. It’s also important to get enough vitamin D, not just by consuming foods rich in the vitamin, but try spending some time out in the sun. Here are some foods that I recommend eating: oily fish, sardines, and salmon because they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. Hot peppers, ginger, and garlice will help improve your circulation.
