Diet Chart for Scleroderma
Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease in which there is tightening and hardening of the connective tissue and skin. In this disease immune system triggers cells to produce too much collagen which results in thickening of the skin. It is commonly seen in men as compared to women between the age group of 30 & 50. In most, cases scleroderma affects the skin but sometimes it can reach beyond the skin and affects blood vessels, digestive tract, and internal organs (such as lungs and kidneys). The blood vessels become thickened and do not work in the way they should be. This leads to high blood pressure and damaged to the tissues. This diet chart helps to maintain the ideal weight and avoid the risk of heart, lung and kidney problems.
