Diet plays a large role in the development and continuation of arthritic
symptoms. The standard American diet, full of refined foods, is a
pro-inflammatory regimen. Inflammation is what causes the redness, warmth,
swelling, and joint destruction associated with arthritis. Eating pro-inflammatory foods will not only create the environment for arthritis to begin, it will fuel the illness once developed.
What are these pro-inflammatory foods? Refined sugar, salt, oil, and flour.
