- Dairy
Most dairy products contain casein, which is a protein type that leads to inflammation, as it irritates the tissues around the joints.
- Corn Oil
Corn oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids, and this makes it inflammatory. Therefore, you should avoid all oils derived from seeds, such as soybean, sunflower, grapeseed, and canola oil.
- Alcohol
Tobacco and alcohol have been related to the development of certain types of arthritis. Drinking alcohol overburdens the liver, disrupting its function, and leading to inflammation.
- Salt
Excessive salt intake causes water imbalances in the body, leading to edema and boosted pressure on the blood vessels. This worsens arthritis and results in pain and inflammation.
- Nightshades
Nightshades contain alkaloids, which in arthritis patients show pro-inflammatory properties, and thus intensify the pain and inflammation. Therefore, you should avoid white potatoes, tomatoes, and pepper, paprika, and eggplants.
