It is actually the body\u2019s natural defense mechanism setting into action to fight the body\u2019s own cells as in the case of rheumatoid arthritis. <\/p>\n<p>The pain, swelling and stiffness are all caused by inflammation. So the key is to avoid foods that cause inflammation and include those that have anti-inflammatory effects.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, some of the foods you should avoid are quite healthy for people who do not suffer from arthritis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foods to avoid:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the foods that you should cut back on:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Tomatoes, eggplants, white potatoes, pepper, paprika and tobacco are all members of the nightshade family. They can cause inflammation associated with arthritis.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Grains, especially wheat, that are high in gluten content should be avoided as gluten causes inflammation and joint pain in certain patients (especially if you\u2019re gluten intolerant).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Any food that causes allergies in individuals should be avoided. Allergens in the food can trigger a type of immune response that can lead to inflammation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foods to include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Fish is a very good source of omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation. Fish oil supplements are available as capsules and can be found in most health stores.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Swap your refined vegetable oils with healthy cooking oils like olive oil, coconut oil or walnut oil to cut down the pain and swelling. Many types of seeds are loaded with good oils. Flax seeds oil actually includes more omega-3 fatty acids than fish oil.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Ginger and turmeric are two spices that have powerful anti-inflammatory effects. Include them in your diet.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Boswellia, White Willow Bark and Proteolytic enzyme supplements can also provide relief.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blueheronhealthnews.com\/site\/arthritis-guide\/\">Many people have reversed arthritis with this safe, natural, and easy way.
