- Living on alkaline diet is recommended in Psoriasis patients. According to Ayurveda, it is an imbalance of fire energy. Consuming food rich in acids or consuming acidic diet is not at all recommended. All fruits ( except citrus fruits) , are recommended. Fresh salads of broccoli, cucumber, carrots, cabbage, radish, onions, turnips are recommended.
- Try to avoid acidic foods like frozen food, packaged food, refined flour food, sour fruits like lemons. Also avoid yogurt, non-vegetarian diet, alcohol as there are considered hot or acidic in nature. Avoid soft drinks as they contain carbon dioxide, which is another toxin for the body. The lungs in the body are working all the time to throw away carbon dioxide away from the body and by drinking soft drinks we put in more of it inside. So avoid carbonated drinks. Co2 is acidic in nature.
