Overview

People with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) know all too well the inflammation and pain that come with the disease. Although there's no RA diet that treats the condition, some foods can lower inflammation in your body. And because they're good for you, these foods -- including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, olive oil, and fish -- may help you feel better overall. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can strike anyone at any age. RA is different from osteoarthritis, which is the natural wearing down of joints over time. RA occurs when your own immune system attacks your joints. The underlying cause is unknown. But the result is painful swelling, stiffness, and inflammation. Foods that fight inflammation throughout your body may reduce this pain and swelling. In a 2017 survey of 217 people with longstanding RA, 24 percent reported that foods had an impact on their RA symptoms, either positively or negatively. A change in diet is one way people with RA are choosing to support their health. Eating certain foods may help you manage your RA symptoms along with medical treatments like over-the-counter painkillers, anti-inflammatory medications, and immune-suppressing therapies.
