The traditional medical system generally considers arthritis (especially rheumatoid arthritis) a genetic disease with no cure.
But, according to a new study published in the journal Clinical Rheumatology, nothing is farther from the truth.
They identified five types of foods that contribute to arthritis and one type that helps heal it.
They recruited 500 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 500 people without this condition and gave them questionnaires to get information on their consumption of beverages, along with nutritious and non-nutritious foods.
The groups did not differ on the consumption of nutritious foods, with both enjoying approximately the same amount of vegetables, for example.
But other than that, their diets differed significantly:
1. People who drank eight or more cups of green tea or coffee per month had a lower chance of developing rheumatoid arthritis than those who did not consume these beverages.
2. Arthritis sufferers drank more soda than healthy people did.
3. People who drank full-fat milk and enjoyed solid oils had an increased chance of the joint disease. Solid oils are those that remain solid at room temperature, like beef fat, butter, shortening, and hydrogenated vegetable oils.
4. Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers ate more fried food when compared to their healthy peers.
5. Arthritis patients enjoyed more spicy foods when compared to their healthy counterparts.
6. In general, arthritis sufferers ate more non-nutritious food than their healthier counterparts did. These mostly processed foods that contained plenty of calories but very few nutrients.
This study is not perfect but it proves that arthritis was not out of your control just because you were genetically vulnerable to it. And you can actually manage it with simple diet and lifestyle changes.
