4. Change Your Diet to Include Healthier Food Options
Inflammation is a large part of Behcet’s disease, and following a healthy diet can be a great way to reduce inflammation from a variety of causes, including this disorder. For example, a large serving of olive oil has shown to possess the same anti-inflammatory effects as a dose of ibuprofen (without all the side effects). Replacing unhealthy fats with plant-based fat sources like olive oil, avocados, and nuts are a great place to start.
Diets high in fresh produce also tend to reduce inflammation. Including a bunch of vegetables with a wide range of colors with every meal is a great place to start. If you have trouble stomaching a large serving of veggies, then drizzling them with a bit of oil and adding your favorite herbs and spices can make the experience more enjoyable without adding unhealthy salad dressings to your food.
