Fluids: Fluids are number one in importance. The patient should drink as much water as possible each day to prevent dehydration. Diet should provide adequate calories, protein, fats, and vitamins and minerals. Patients and families should discuss vitamin and mineral supplements with their doctors.

Healthy diet: To my knowledge, there is no sickle cell specific diet. But everyone should eat a healthy, balanced diet in order to maintain good health. Exercise and proper sleep as well as stress management are also important.
