Do not take the medicine randomly
Some drugs can interfere with the normal metabolism of melanin, influence the synthesis of melanin, such as penicillamine, optimal acid, thiourea, epinephrine, thyroxine. People should avoid drugs to induce vitiligo.
Avoid taking vitamin C disorderly
Vitamin C is often used to cure various diseases, but Vitamin C is harmful for vitiligo patients. Vitamin C can make formed DOPA quinone the already reduce to DOPA, which interrupt the biological synthesis of melanin. On the other hand, vitamin C can affect the body to absorb copper ions, and reduce the blood serum copper oxidase activity, which affect the tyrosinase activity. Some people speculated that vitamin C could make some patients, especially the people with low serum copper oxidase activity, induce vitiligo.
So vitiligo patients is unfavorable to take vitamin C, but also eat less or don't eat vegetables and fruit which are rich in vitamin C as far as possible,such as balsam pear, strawberry, hawthorn, grapefruit, orange, orange, tomato, wild jujube, sweet pepper, kiwi fruit.
Pay attention to the choice of the diet
For diet therapy of vitiligo patients, physicians suggest that patients eat more food rich in tyrosine material, such as fresh vegetables, sesame seed, black agaric, black rice , black food. Eating more food rich in tyrosine to prevent this disease is also effective.Eating more food rich in copper and being not picky about food (being picky about food can cause disorders of food collocation, nutrition deviation, may cause a relative lack of necessary material that synthetize melanin, which may lead to vitiligo).
As is known to all, the synthesis of melanin can't do without tyrosine and tyrosinase. Melanin can not be synthetized if either one is short, Then the skin color of people will become white. Among them tyrosine is from food intake, digestion and absorption;activity of synthetized tyrosinase in the body is related to some metal elements,such as copper, zinc, iron and so on.When the body is lack of these elements, the activity of tyrosinase will be reduced; the synthesis of melanin will be inflenced, and lesions produce.
In order to cooperate with treatment and enhance the curative effect,patients should eat more food rich in tyrosine and minerals,such as fresh vegetables, beans and bean products, peanut, sesame seed, scale of fruit, etc.
