People with vitiligo can eat bananas. Bananas have the properties of clearing heat and detoxification, moisturizing the intestines to relieve constipation, and moistening the lungs to stop coughing. They also contain vitamin C. Long-term excessive intake of vitamin C is one of the inducers of vitiligo, but vitamin C is also an antioxidant. It can help to eliminate oxygen free radicals in the body, and excessive oxygen free radicals can damage our melanocytes. Therefore, eating a moderate amount of fruits containing vitamin C, such as bananas, has little impact on vitiligo. Thus, there is no need to avoid eating fresh fruits altogether.
