The first step to reducing the pain of arthritis
is getting diagnosed correctly. You can visit our
Walk in chiropractor for accurate diagnosis of
pain. Arthritis is basically an inflammation in
your joints. This causes stiffness, swelling and
redness in your joints. It can be caused due to a
variety of reasons. Your diet can be a factor
contributing to arthritis. Along with that
excessive alcohol intake and smoking can also
affect you. Previous illnesses or physical
activities can also give rise to arthritis.

Foods you should avoid ? Reduce your intake of
added sugars. These are present in foods like ice
creams and candies. Try to limit your intake of
such food. Added sugars can give rise to
rheumatoid arthritis. ? Avoid red meat or
processed meat. Dr Chris Garner says that you
should lessen the intake of red meat after a
certain age. It gives rise to inflammation, which
in turn increases the risk of arthritis.
6
? Avoid dairy products containing high levels of
fat. These products may also contain added sugar,
like ice cream. But you can try yoghurt as it
contains beneficial bacteria. These beneficial
bacteria can reduce the risk of inflammation in
arthritis. ? Lower your intake of salt. Go on a
low sodium diet. A high salt intake poses a
greater risk of inflammation, according to our
family chiropractic expert.
7
? Processed food and canned food are not healthy
for you. Avoid them as much as you can. These can
be a variety of fast food or packaged snacks that
have added salt and sugar. These can give rise to
obesity, which again increases the risk of
arthritis. ? Try to go gluten-free. Gluten is
found in crops like wheat, barley and rye. A
gluten-free diet will reduce inflammation. It
will also help you in the case of rheumatoid
arthritis.
