Arthritis – Foods Allowed & Avoid

Nuts

Nuts contain a lot of essential nutrients and vitamins, such as fiber, vitamin E, zinc, magnesium, or calcium. In addition, they come with a high level of ALA or alpha-linolenic acid, which can improve your immune system. These nutrient-dense foods might be effective in reducing some inflammation markers as well as alleviating inflammatory activities in your body. Omega-3 fatty acids in nuts are especially good for people with arthritis. They help alleviate pain and reduce the dependence on some medical drugs. [4]
