Arthritis Diet. What to eat for arthritis

Often patients ask what they should eat or avoid to help their arthritis. There isn't an easy diet one can follow to cure arthritis. For people with gout it is helpful to avoid red meats, shellfish and alcohol. Cherry juice may be helpful for gout. With other forms of arthritis a healthy, balanced diet is helpful. There is no evidence that sour foods or citrus juices are bad for you. In fact pineapples contain an enzyme bromelain, which is useful for arthritis. Oily fish or omega or fish oil supplements, ginger, garlic, turmeric, soyabean, avocadoes are some foods which are helpful. Remember to get 1000 mg of calcium from dairy products and enough vitamin D through sun exposure, or else take a calcium supplement.
