Rheumatoid Arthritis – Allowed & Avoid Food

Beans

Beans are high fiber, which would be effective in reducing the levels of CRP or C-reactive protein, a clear sign of inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, these foods can provide the body with sufficient protein for strengthening the joints and muscles affected by the condition. Anti-inflammatory components and antioxidants in beans are also helpful in alleviating the symptoms caused by rheumatoid arthritis. There are many types of beans to add to your diet, such as kidney beans, fava beans, black beans, pinto beans, and navy beans. [2]
