Arthritis affects over 50 million Americans, forcing them to struggle with the pain and inflammation on a daily basis. However, medications do not target the root of the issue, so the only ease the pain.
On the other hand, if you start consuming anti-inflammatory foods, you will soon treat the arthritis pain in a completely natural and safe way.
These are the 9 foods you must avoid in the case of arthritis:
- Fried & Processed Foods
The 2009 Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism published a study which revealed that fried foods are rich in toxins called advanced glycation end products, which boost the oxidation in the cells and thus aggravate inflammation.
Therefore, make sure you avoid all kinds of fried and processed foods.
- Refined Carbohydrates
Processed carbohydrates from white flour products, like bread, crackers, white rice or white potatoes have a high GI and thus trigger inflammation.
- Gluten/Wheat
Wheat and gluten cause inflammation in many people, especially in those who are intolerant or suffering from a leaky gut, since it allows toxins and waste to enter the bloodstream through your intestines, and this leads to an immune response and inflammation.
- Sugar
Processed sugar triggers the release of inflammatory messengers, called cytokines, so you should stay away from candy, sodas, processed fruit juices, pastries, and all sweets.
