Many medical studies advise those suffering from arthritis to eat the healthy foods needed for the body, but at the same time they warn against some foods that exacerbate inflammation and its associated symptoms.
added sugar
In a study conducted by the American College of Rheumatology on people with rheumatoid arthritis, researchers noted that among 20 types of foods, it appears that sugar-sweetened soft drinks and sweets are likely to exacerbate symptoms of the disease, according to Healthline.
the salt
A 2019 mouse study conducted by researchers from the Yonsei University College of Medicine in South Korea also found that arthritis was more severe in mice that ate a diet rich in salt compared to those whose diet contained less salt.
The researchers noted that a high sodium intake may be a risk factor for autoimmune diseases such as arthritis in people.

processed foods
Ultra-processed items such as fast food, breakfast cereals, and processed meats tend to be high in added sugar, preservatives, fructose, and other ingredients that potentially increase inflammation and, in turn, exacerbate symptoms of arthritis.

gluten
Gluten is a group of proteins found in wheat, barley, and other grains.
Some research has linked gluten to increased arthritis, and indicated that a vegetarian diet free of this compound may reduce disease activity and improve inflammation.
