A 69-year-old man living with arthritis is a prime example of how the condition can affect one's life. Despite his active past, every movement now reminds him of pain.
Doctors have told him that the answer isn’t simply in medications, but also his overall lifestyle and diet.
Eating an anti-inflammatory diet may help manage arthritis pain. A study published in Arthritis Research & Therapy found that people who followed a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet had a lower risk of dying from all causes compared to those who ate unhealthy, pro-inflammatory foods.
