If you or someone you know suffers from rheumatoid arthritis,you know how painful and debilitating it can be. If you haven’twalked a mile in those shoes, you can’t imagine how frustratingit can be. Your doctor may say try this medication, try that.Don’t do this, do that. But sometimes, to no avail. The diseaseis caused by a misguided immune system attack on the body's ownjoint tissue, which leads to swelling, pain, stiffness and insome cases deformity. Rheumatoid is more common amongwomen than men. Perhaps what you’re eating, or more specifically what you’re noteating can be causing some of your soreness. Recent findingssuggest that a diet high in fruits, vegetables, legumes andcertain oils aids in relieving symptoms in people withrheumatoid arthritis. After following a diet rich in fruits andveggies for three months, people with rheumatoid arthritisexperienced a number of improvements not seen in peoplefollowing a typical American diet high in processed foods. Someof the improvements shown include a decrease in pain,inflammation, disease activity and in the number of swollenjoints. Further, previous research suggested that more olive oiland cooked vegetables help protect people from the symptoms ofrheumatoid arthritis. The current results suggest that "patients with (rheumatoidarthritis) can obtain better physical function and increasetheir vitality" from eating a fruit, vegetables, legumes andsome oils diet for three months, write Dr. Lars Skoldstam ofVisby Hospital in Sweden and colleagues.
