Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes an overproduction of skin cells. This leads to red, scaly patches on the skin which is very unsightly. Whilst Psoriasis is not contagious, the unsightly skin can cause Psoriasis sufferers to become unsociable or even frowned upon by family, friends, colleagues and society. It can also lead to anxiety, bullying and depression.

Supplements are important in managing Psoriasis symptoms. This is because we are unlikely to obtain all our daily requirements for vitamins and minerals from foods alone, even if it is organic. This is due to soil quality depletion, oxidation by the time the food is sourced and used for our consumption and also how the meals are prepared. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements such as Usana’s Biomega and Biomega Junior have anti-inflammatory properties.

Turmeric is a spice commonly used in traditional Indian medicine. It contains a compound called curcumin which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric can be consumed as supplements, tea or even added to meals.

Exposure To Sunlight can also help to manage Psoriasis Symptoms. Sunlight slows the growth of skin cells and reduces inflammation. However, you need to be cautious of over exposure to sunlight that can lead to skin damage and sunburn.
