Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

​Lifestyle changes are needed to reduce the incidence of relapses:

• Get adequate rest and sleep
• Be sun smart – avoid sun-bathing and stay out of the sun entirely when it is the strongest i.e. between 8am to 6pm
• Use sunblock and wear protective clothing
• Get regular exercise but do not overstrain your body
• Maintain a healthy diet
• Do not smoke and avoid excessive alcohol intake
