Diet and Nutrition
Eating a balanced diet and having a healthy lifestyle including having regular exercise, not smoking or drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, can have a positive impact on arthritis and your health in general.
Although there are no diets or supplements that will cure your arthritis, some people do find that their condition is affected by what they eat, how much they weigh and their physical activity levels.
