The Compassionate Rheumatology Doctor

It is no surprise that diet plays an important role in our health. Unfortunately studies of diet and joint health have lacked over the years.

Most recent data is supportive of the Mediterranean diet. This is not a fancy fad diet but a simple common sense diet that brings us back to our evolutionary roots.

We are finding a significant link between processed meats, refined grains, full fat dairy, high salt and sugar to chronic disease. This is the typical western diet.

Diets that are high in natural form foods such as; vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts/seeds, and olive oil (monosaturated fat vs saturated fats and trans fats) have helped people naturally reduce inflammation and have better disease control. Especially in our arthritis patients. (The Mediterranean diet)

We still have way to go in this research but this is a great place to smart. And best of all, it makes sense.

Not feeling yourself? Joint pain, swelling or stiffness? No matter what age these may all be signs of an autoimmune arthritis or more.
