Research Notes on How to Manage Rheumatoid Arthritis with Diet
Avoiding trigger foods is the Arthritis Foundation's dietary suggestion in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).1 Currently there is no specific diet recommended to control RA. A healthy, balanced diet along with exercise and weight maintenance is recommended.2 RA is a systemic autoimmune disorder that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints.
Fast Facts:
- Arthritis Foundation recommends a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and grains. It should also be low in saturated fats and calories.3
- Research has shown positive results in decreasing symptoms of RA with a gluten-free vegan diet.4
- The Mediterranean diet has also been beneficial in improving RA symptoms and lowering risk.1
