Arthritis

Arthritis is a common condition that affects over 10 million people in the UK. It can damage our joints and cause inflammation, pain, stiffness, and swelling in the connective tissue that holds them together.

Arthritis is a widespread condition that often leads to joint pain and reduced mobility. Although osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis share some similar symptoms, it's crucial to understand that they are two distinct types of arthritis, each requiring their own unique treatment.

Certain types of arthritis can flare up if we’re eating foods that are known to contribute to inflammation in our joints. While there isn’t a ‘miracle diet’ that’s going to relieve all your arthritis symptoms, there are certain foods that can help make managing joint pain a little easier.

Arthritis and diet are closely linked, and we know that certain inflammatory foods can make managing the condition harder. Thankfully, if we know what triggers to avoid, the food and drink we consume can also help reduce inflammation, joint pain, and stiffness.
