Weight Loss And Psoriasis

Obesity complicates many skin conditions, and even in women who are just overweight, weight loss alone can help treating a number of skin conditions. The latest studies show that weight loss can help psoriasis treatments work better. Large amounts of weight loss aren't necessary, in some studies weight loss of even twenty pounds can be helpful. Other studies show that it is not just weight loss, but improvement in your whole metabolism: lower cholesterol, lower other blood fats, better sugar control and better metabolism all can help resolve skin and scalp conditions such as psoriasis. We think that the hormones of fat, which can be measured by blood studies, and the levels of inflammation that are calmed by weight loss will in turn decrease the production of the substances that cause psoriasis. Oddly some studies, sadly, completely contradict the information and have shown worsening of psoriasis. We use basic BMI categories of risk, those over 30, and waist circumferences of over 35, elevated blood pressures as well as the cholesterol issues to target women for weight loss aiming life style changes. And those changes can make their skin glisten and glow as well.
