Psoriatic Arthritis Lifestyle Recommendations:
• Engage in strength-building exercises that don’t stress the joints such such as swimming, water aerobics, or stationary biking
• Incorporate weight reduction program, if needed, to lose any excess weight
• Use hot and ice packs to manage pain and inflammation; relax in a bath with plain MSM powder
• Check for IgG food sensitivities, gut dysbiosis, and AA:EPA ratio
Dietary Tips and Caveats for Psoriatic Arthritis:
• Reduce sugar in the diet; avoid white flour products and refined carbohydrates
• Avoid safflower, corn, sunflower and soybean oils, which aggravate inflammation. Instead favor flax oil, fish oils, fresh fish, raw nuts and seeds.
• Avoid nightshades of peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant if necessary
• Avoid fried foods, trans fats and partially hydrogenated oils which may contribute to inflammation
• Eat a diet according to the Paleo template – low in grains and free of allergenic foods such as gluten, dairy products and citrus
• Consume PaleoMeal® or Whey Cool™ to raise glutathione levels and to keep blood sugar balanced throughout the day; can also use PaleoBars™ for snacks along with healthy fats such as nuts and seeds
