Psoriasis management and immune system enhancement require a comprehensive approach. By improving lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and ensuring adequate sleep, the body's exposure to harmful substances can be reduced. Adjusting dietary patterns by increasing the intake of foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, while decreasing consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods, helps maintain internal stability and improves immune system efficiency. Furthermore, regular physical activity, such as at least 150 minutes per week of aerobic exercise combined with strength training, can enhance cardiopulmonary function and improve overall physical condition, thus supporting the management and control of psoriasis. If symptoms persist or worsen, nutritional supplements such as vitamin D and zinc may be used under a physician's guidance to aid in boosting immunity. Implementing these measures can effectively enhance immune function and improve the management and control of psoriasis.
