Importance of Diet

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that leads to joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. While medicines are initial-line treatment, good diet can:

  • Reduce joint inflammation
  • Support bone and cartilage health
  • Support muscle strength and energy
  • Prevent long-term medication-related nutrient deficiencies

 

Goals of the Diet

  • Reduce inflammation through anti-inflammatory foods
  • Provide adequate calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3s for joint and bone health
  • Boost immunity through antioxidants
  • Control body weight (less stress on joints)
  • Avoid foods that worsen pain and inflammation
