Diet for psoriasis by Pegano

The diet for psoriasis according to Pegano is based on the principle of acid-base balance - 70-80% of the products consumed per day, should be alkaline, and only 20-30% - acid-forming.

The products that form alkali include fruits and berries except plums, prunes, cranberries, blueberries and currants, vegetables( except legumes, pumpkin, Brussels sprouts and rhubarb).The formation of acids is promoted by foods high in proteins, starch, fats, sugar - potatoes, meat, legumes, seafood, butter. Especially harmful is their use in combination.
