KEY POINTS
- Certain foods can trigger inflammation or flare-ups, especially in gouty arthritis, which is tied to high uric acid.
- Across all arthritis types, a diet rich in leafy greens, berries, fatty fish, nuts, and whole grains can reduce inflammation and support joint health.
- Cold weather can make joints feel stiffer. That’s because synovial fluid thickens, making movement harder. Keep warm and keep moving says Dr. Lorie de Leon.
