  • Mono-unsaturated oils should be used (e.g. rapeseed oil and olive oil).
  • If your blood cholesterol is high, make dietary changes to lower it.
  • Heat and cold treatments can help relieve arthritis pain and inflammation.
  • A diet that’s rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole foods can help boost your immune system and your overall health.
  • Avoid a diet like a diet rich in red meat, processed foods, saturated fat, and added sugar and salt might aggravate inflammation, which is a characteristic of arthritis.
