Do you suffer from psoriasis? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young America medical minute. A new study out of Paracelsus Medical University suggests that a ketogenic, or keto diet, may not be a good idea for people suffering from psoriasis. Most people follow a keto diet for weight loss, but research has that it can also help in protecting against cognitive decline and improving type 2 diabetes symptoms. However, in the study, they found that a keto diet with high amounts of coconut oil can increase skin inflammation. But this only happens when it’s combined with other healthy fats like avocados, olive oil, fish, and nuts. So, if you have psoriasis and are planning on jumping on the keto bandwagon, be sure to limit your coconut intake.
