Skin and joint inflammation

A June 2021 study by UC Davis Health said,

• "Earlier studies have shown that Western diet, characterized by its high sugar and fat content, can lead to significant skin inflammation and psoriasis flares," 

• "Despite having powerful anti-inflammatory drugs for the skin condition, our study indicates that simple changes in diet may also have significant effects on psoriasis."

• "There is a clear link between skin inflammation and changes in the gut microbiome due to food intake," 

• "The bacterial balance in the gut disrupted shortly after starting a Western diet, and worsened psoriatic skin and joint inflammation."

• "It was quite surprising that a simple diet modification of less sugar and fat may have significant effects on psoriasis,”

• "These findings reveal that patients with psoriatic skin and joint disease should consider changing to a healthier dietary pattern."
