Patients with sacroiliitis should develop healthy lifestyle habits in daily life, paying attention to diet and lifestyle. The diet should be light, and patients should avoid cold, greasy, spicy, and other irritating foods as much as possible. It is advisable to consume more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as milk and lean meat. Additionally, smoking and alcohol consumption should be avoided. Maintaining a positive attitude and an optimistic mindset, promptly relieving negative emotions, and keeping a regular sleep schedule—avoiding staying up late—are recommended. Patients should also adjust their sitting posture in a timely manner to prevent worsening of the condition.
