Maintain an ideal body weight as many researchers believe that there is a connection between obesity and psoriasis.
Maintain a food diary to note down the foods which are responsible for causing a flare-up. This will largely help you to identify the food item which causes the problem and you can thus effectively avoid it or cut it down.
Do not eliminate any food or a particular food group with out the approval of a health care specialist.
Prior to sun exposure prefer eating psoralen containing foods which include celery, citrus, carrots, figs, parsnips and fennel. These may make your skin more sensitive at get the positive effects of UV rays.
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish or fish oil may help reduce inflammation caused due to psoriasis.
If you have any nutritional deficiency like iron, folate, zinc or other nutrients try to correct that first. This will not cure psoriasis but will help in general wellbeing to a greater extent.
Have lean meat in moderation and try to avoid sausages, prepared meats and cold cuts as they can increase inflammation. Also try to avoid cakes, chocolates, and nut based pastries, pickles, peppers and paprika.
Alcohol and smoking should be avoided as far as possible.
