Hi Komal.
This is Asiya -- age: 30, height: 5'7, weight: 65.
I'm suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
Which diet do I have to follow?
Even though I’m on pills, the pain is not being relieved.
Can you please suggest a better diet?
Also, please tell me about intermittent fasting.
Thank you in advance.
Asiya Shaik
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition, so any acidic food will increase inflammation.
These include junk foods, sugary foods and red meats. In fact, many find relief by avoiding non-veg foods.
Gluten restriction can also provide relief. However, the response to food restrictions will vary from person to person.
An anti-inflammatory diet might lessen the number of flare-ups you have or it might help reduce your pain.
The main theory behind intermittent fasting is that we extend our body's time to detox as we fast more and more.
If we eat constantly, our body channelises most of our energy into digesting/absorbing/assimilating the food instead of detoxifying our body; we need to reverse this.
