Facts About Lupus

7. A Healthy Diet

Experts have found that healthy changes to the diet can help relieve some lupus symptoms. Some foods that have an anti-inflammatory effect, such as fruits, vegetables, and those rich in omega-three fatty acids, may reduce lupus flares. Foods rich in calcium and vitamin D are also essential as they improve bone and muscle health, and lupus can compromise the absorption of these minerals. Finally, maintaining a balanced diet with the correct proportions of all macro-nutrients is critical.
