Can you get psoriasis on your legs?
If one member of your family had psoriasis or still has then it is very probably to "get" psoriasis some day too. Actually, a person doesn't get psoriasis because it is written in the genetic information so you can have it since the day you are born...it is not contagious so if your question was meant to mean if a person can get psoriasis just by touching a person with this condition then i can assure you that's impossible...if your question refers to triggers for psoriasis then i can tell you that stress is the most important in the list..then it comes streptococcus infections..in my case, i inherited the disease from my grandma and the triggers were stress and streptococcus infection.
Why has obesity become an issue in the past ten years?
Rising numbers of children are obese new figures published today by The Information Centre for health and social care suggest. New statistics from the annual Health Survey for England 2004 show levels of obesity among children have risen over the past ten years. Around one in four 11 to 15 year olds are considered obese. Obesity prevalence for the period 1995 to 2004 increased from 14% to 24% for boys and from 15% to 26% for girls. Obesity prevalence in boys aged 2 to 10 increased from 10% in 1995 to 16% in 2004 and for girls from 10% in 1995 to 11% in 2004. Around 2000 children between the ages of 2 and 15 took part in the survey, which involved interviews and assessments of height and weight. Professor Denise Lievesley, Chief Executive of The Information Centre, said: "Whilst a relatively small sample, the survey supports the view that there is a longer term trend towards more obesity among children in England and provides additional evidence to support concerns around children's weight problems." The Health Survey provides detailed, annual insights into health related factors including smoking, drinking, physical activity and the consumption of fruit and vegetables. Key findings were first published as trend tables in December 2005. Key findings include: * One in four adults are now obese. For men this figure has nearly doubled since 1993 (13% rising to 24% in 2004). For women the increase is slightly lower (16% rising to 24% from 1993 to 2004). * Fewer people are smoking, although there are now slightly more female than male smokers. Between 1993 and 2004, the number of men who smoke dropped from 28% to 22%, while the numbers of women smokers moved from 26% to 23%. * Fruit and vegetables play a greater part in the nation's diet. Those eating a minimum of five portions of fruit and vegetables a day increased from 22% to 24% for men and 25% to 27% for women between 2001 and 2004. * The proportion of men taking part in 30 minutes moderate exercise 5 or more times a week increased from 32% to 35% between 1997 and 2004 and from 21% to 24% for women during the same period. 10% to 14% for boys in 5 years overweight 10% to 17% for girls 5 years overweight. * 19 per cent of boys are obese. * 18 per cent of girls are obese.

What can I do to get the best diet for my psoriasis?
There is a plethora of contradicting information with regards to a diet that will help psoriasis. There have been very few food studies done to suggest any one answer will fit every person. A recent study shows that, similar to sufferers of Celiac Disease, an increased sensitivity to the gliadin in gluten can cause outbreaks. A gluten free diet can give symptom relief to some sufferers. There is no known dietetic cure for psoriasis. If you make a change in your diet, it will need to be a lifetime one or you can expect a return of the symptoms. Doctors and dietitians recommend a process of elimination. Eliminate suspect foods for a period of two weeks or more. Keep an accurate journal. Talk to your physician before starting any diet.
