How to Eat Right with Lupus

Eat a diet filled with leafy greens and whole grains

Lupus patients have a disadvantage when it comes to how their blood cells are produced. Because of their condition, the irregular nature of a lupus patient’s immune system causes their healthy cells and tissue to dismantle themselves. Any form of immune system protection would be advantageous for the average lupus patient. Eating meals willed with dark leafy greens and whole grains limits consumption of meat and other processed food. This will help lupus patients curb their appetite so that they wouldn't have any foods that would affect their immune system negatively. Sometimes, even drinking freshly pressed juice can give a patient's body nutrients that would boost their immune system effectively. This also requires patients to have more specialized diets so that they would have more of a routine.
