Diet
Dietary adjustment is very important to the treatment of arthritis. Move towards a wholefood diet containing plenty of fresh vegetables, fish, fruit, wholegrains, pulses, chicken, turkey, nuts and seeds. Eliminate foods containing white flour, white sugar and bacon products.It can also be helpful to have an allergy test as some types of arthritis could be caused by a build up of toxic acids in the joints. Foods that cause inflammation or allergic reactions can include dairy products, gluten, peppers and citrus fruits, amongst others.
