Foods That Can Help Arthritis Symptoms

Diet won’t cure rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the right food choices can help by controlling the inflammation that wreaks havoc in the body, delivering nutrients your body needs and helping you maintain a healthy weight.

What’s more, body fat produces proteins called cytokines that promote inflammation.
