aintain a healthy weight. Carrying extra weight on your body can increase your risk of flare-ups. You can limit that risk by managing your weight and staying within a healthy weight for your height.  You can determine your healthy weight based on your height or body fat percentage.  Eating a balanced diet and exercising can help you manage your weight. If you want to minimize your psoriasis flare-ups, a great way is to eat a healthy balanced diet. Eat plenty of fruits and green, leafy vegetables, especially those that reduce inflammation. These types of food will assist with weight loss (another way to reduce psoriasis flare-ups) and help you feel more healthy in general.  Since psoriasis is an anti-inflammatory disease, it’s helpful to indulge in foods that have been proven to help reduce inflammation like carrots, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes, broccoli, strawberries, mangoes, and blueberries. Avoid foods that increase inflammation, such as processed foods, greasy foods, refined carbohydrates, sugary foods, processed meats, full-fat dairy, and trans fats. Be sure to get enough fiber in your diet, but limit your protein intake. Eating fewer protein-dense foods (like meat and dairy products) can help minimize your psoriasis flare-ups. Adding more fiber will help your digestive tract get rid of many psoriasis-triggering toxins in your intestines.  To minimize the amount of unhealthy protein in your diet, try to eat fish (at least twice per week) and eliminate other meats from your diet.  High fiber foods include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. While sunburns can cause flare-ups, short periods of time outside can actually help you avoid flare-ups. Sunlight will slow the growth of your skin cells, which makes a flare-up less likely.  You should still wear sunscreen when you go outside. If you are prone to sunburn, spend less time outside so that you don't risk a burn. Talk to your doctor if you're taking any medications, however, as you may be more sensitive to sunlight. Eliminating (or at least reducing) how much alcohol you drink could be one of the most significant ways to prevent psoriasis flare-ups. Studies have shown that psoriasis flare-ups are much more common in people who drink heavily, and that eliminating alcohol consumption can reduce the severity and frequency of psoriasis flare-ups. Alcohol can also interact negatively with certain psoriasis drugs (like methotrexate and acitretin), so be sure to discuss your alcohol use with your doctor before beginning any new medication.
