The Role of Nutrition in the Development of Psoriasis

Dr. David Perry says nutrition does play a role in the development of psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. If people eat foods that have a high glycemic index, they're going to produce insulin which causes fat storage and inflammation. Certain foods like red meat or processed foods can damage your immune system by depleting antioxidants such as glutathione. There's also we call it omega 6 and omega 3. Those are different polyunsaturated fatty acids. So there's a ratio of them that's in the diet.
