Researchers reviewed current dietary recommendations for psoriasis patients. Because psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory condition linked to various other chronic ailments, researchers stressed that a holistic approach to treatment is vital, where patients are recommended to consume a personalized anti-inflammatory diet coupled with increased physical activity, in line with WHO guidelines. They also emphasized that qualified nutritionists play a crucial role in this integrated approach.
The study concludes that future research should aim to ascertain the optimal exercise duration and intensity for treating and preventing psoriasis, emphasizing larger sample sizes in observational and clinical studies.
