Foods That You Should be Eating

  The following list of foods has been shown to help relieve the symptoms of lupus, being especially helpful with alleviating the skin conditions that come with lupus.

 

1. Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Because lupus causes inflammation throughout the body, you should consume as many foods that have anti-inflammatory compounds as possible to counter-act this symptom. Foods that will help lower your inflammation level include organic strawberries, avocados, blackberries, dark green vegetables, cherries, blueberries, parsley, and garlic.

 

2. Whole Foods

No, we don’t mean the supermarket, but rather whole foods that are minimally processed. This means eating as many fresh, organic raw vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, and seeds as you can. Many people who suffer from lupus find that simply cutting out processed foods, refined sugars, and carbs and replacing those with an organic, whole food diet, often relieves many of their symptoms and often makes them feel almost normal once more.

 

3. Easy to Digest Foods
