The U.S. Arthritis Relief Foundation states that vegetables can help with arthritis. Especially green leafy vegetables. This is because these products contain vitamins A, C, K and antioxidants.
A study published in the Journal of Preventive Medicine in 2014 found that antioxidants can help manage arthritis symptoms.
According to another study published in 2019, green leafy vegetables (spinach and kale) can increase beta-carotene levels in the body. This substance is considered the main source of vitamin A.
The importance of following a healthy diet for arthritis is also spoken by representatives of the UK’s National Health Service. Such nutrition will provide the body with all the necessary nutrients and maintain an optimal weight. Being overweight can put a lot of stress on joints affected by arthritis.
