Arthritis – Foods Allowed & Avoid

Berries

Each portion of berries provides a lot of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. The combination of these powerful substances contributes to the capability of alleviating inflammation. Several studies have suggested that those people who eat at least 2 portions of strawberries on a weekly basis are less likely to experience a high number of inflammatory markers in their blood. More importantly, berries are high in rutin and quercetin. Those are potent plant compounds that can block several inflammatory activities related to arthritis. Fortunately, there is a wide range of berries available, including blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and many more. [5]
