After detection, the amount of inflammation depends upon factors such as added fats, poor lifestyle, added sugar, etc. We bring you a list of food items you must avoid combating Arthritis.

Added Sugars: Even if you don't have Arthritis, you should lower your sugar intake. Sweets, soda, candy, and sauces must be avoided at any cost.

Gluten food: Beer, pasta, gravy, and bread are rich in gluten content. The high amount of gluten content will again increase inflammation and vice versa.

Processed foods: Fast food, cereals, and baked stuff are rich in sugar, grains, and preservatives. They can trigger inflammation and further worsen Arthritis pain.

Some vegetable oils: Certain food items rich in omega-6 fats must be avoided as the imbalance of omega-6s and omega-3s may increase inflammation, worsening Arthritis pain. 

High salt intake: Lowering salt intake will reduce calcium loss in the body, thereby reducing osteoporosis. Salt is also responsible for fluid retention and catalyses joint pain.
