Diet for patients with rheumatoid arthritis

     Rheumatoid arthritis is a widespread inflammatory disease that primarily involves the synovial membrane (which can later spread to articular cartilage, bone tissue, joint ligaments and muscle bonds) and to a lesser extent the connective tissues of the plasma membrane, heart, lungs and eyes. The systemic manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis include fever, fatigue, pericarditis, subcutaneous nodules, pleurisy, arteritis, and peripheral neuropathy, in addition to joint lesions. In addition to inflammatory lesions in the joints, rheumatoid arthritis in the broad sense also includes extensive lesions throughout the body.        1, reasonable diet. Pay attention to eat more high protein, high vitamin, medium fat, medium calorie, low sugar, low salt, a small number of meals, less irritating food. Cooking food should be good in color, aroma and taste, and easy to digest. The ratio of sugar, protein and fat in the diet should be 3:2:1. Use more vegetable oils, such as salad oil, corn oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil and rapeseed oil, etc. The ratio of plant and animal oils is 2:1. The caloric distribution of diet should be 30% for breakfast, 40% for lunch, 10% for lunch and 20% for dinner. Fruits should be decided according to individual dietary habits and medical conditions.  2, mainly vegetarian diet. About 100 grams of fruit should be consumed after meals.

Animal meat selection snake meat (can relieve local redness, swelling and pain, to prevent the role of lesions to other joints.) Dog meat, mutton, beef, fish, etc. Moderate amount of animal blood, eggs, fish, shrimp, etc.      3, dietary nutrition should be comprehensive, do not avoid and partial diet, some food should be limited, but not avoid food. Because foods containing tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan can produce arthritis-causing mediators such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, tyrosine kinase autoantibodies and anti-milk IgE antibodies, which can easily cause allergies and aggravate, relapse or worsen arthritis, therefore, patients should eat less milk, goat milk and other milk and peanuts, chocolate, millet, cheese, milk sugar and other foods; because sugar can easily lead to allergies, aggravate synovitis Therefore, patients should eat less sweets; because high-fat and high-cholesterol foods produce ketone bodies, acids, arachidonic acid metabolites and inflammatory mediators, which can inhibit T-lymphocyte function and easily cause and aggravate joint pain, swelling, bone decalcification and joint destruction, therefore, patients should eat less fatty meat, high animal fat and high cholesterol foods, and boiling soup should also be less It is also advisable to cook soup with less oil. If you eat too salty food such as pickled vegetables, salted eggs, salted fish, etc., it will increase the sodium ion in the body, and aggravate the patient’s symptoms. In addition, to avoid worsening arthritis, patients should also drink less alcohol and coffee, tea and other beverages, and try to reduce the amount of smoking.
