”Should I avoid eating if I have rheumatoid arthritis?” This is a question we often encounter. Many patients have heard that this disease is immune-related and thus associate it with whether food allergies can cause the onset or add to the development of the disease. As a result, they are afraid to eat cold drinks in summer, and they are usually afraid to touch fish, shrimp, tofu, and phyllo, resulting in monotonous recipes and incomplete nutrition; in the long run; it is obviously not good for the improvement and recovery of the disease. In fact, for many years, people have been looking for the relationship between diet and the production, aggravation and relief of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. The existing anti-rheumatoid arthritis drugs have greater side effects after long-term use, and thus clinically, doctors also look forward to adjusting the patient’s diet to remove factors that are detrimental to the disease; thus reducing the dosage of drugs or even stopping them. Efforts in this area have been underway for more than half a century. After research, unsaturated long-chain fatty acids; such as fish oil, and certain micronutrients, such as selenium can bring relief to patients with rheumatoid arthritis, can reduce the number of painful and swollen pseudo-joints, reduce the duration of morning stiffness, enhance grip strength, and delay fatigue, but do not change the course of the disease. Some foods, such as wheat, oats; coffee, etc., may produce adverse reactions and worsen the symptoms. So far, there is no sufficient evidence that transient dietary therapy can change the course of rheumatoid arthritis, so it is not correct to apply dietary therapy alone. Diet therapy should only be used as an adjunct to relieve the patient’s symptoms. There are many possible reasons why diet therapy may improve a patient’s joint symptoms, and the efficacy of diet therapy may be the result of a combination of factors. In conclusion, to date, it is controversial whether a pulp-controlled diet has a therapeutic effect on rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis patients have a long course of illness, and often take medication throughout the year, often the spleen and stomach are affected to a certain extent, you can not just pay attention to the nutritional value of food, while ignoring the specific circumstances of the fire. The “shape is not enough, warmed by the gas; essence is not enough, tonic taste”; shows that the supplement should also be different according to each person’s physique and the location of the deficiency. For example, people with internal heat should not take red ginseng or deer antler, and should not eat more hot foods such as garlic, green onion, leek and chili; people with weak spleen and stomach and weak transportation and transformation should not take gum, silver fungus and other tonic crystals, and should eat less hard and cold foods and raw pears in fruits; people with excessive acidity or fullness in the stomach and abdomen should not eat more sweet and greasy things, and crystals that close gas and help swelling such as milk, beans and soy milk; if the tongue is sticky and greasy, people with strong internal dampness should not eat more sweet and greasy things. If the tongue is sticky and the internal moisture is strong, it is not advisable to eat greasy and thick food, such as turtle, pig’s feet, hoof, etc., to light. Our view is that, in addition to the above, what foods have been eaten in the past that have significantly triggered the onset of arthritis, should be “taboo” not to eat these foods, but otherwise, other foods can be eaten, to eat a variety of balanced to ensure a comprehensive and reasonable nutrition. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease, patients are in a long period of chronic consumption. These patients do not get enough sleep due to the pain, which in turn affects their appetite. Therefore, attention should be paid to improving the patient’s nutritional intake and promoting the patient’s appetite. It is important to eat foods rich in high quality protein, vitamins and minerals, and to pay attention to the color and flavor of dishes. Of course, patients who tend to be obese, to limit the intake of high-calorie foods. So, rheumatoid patients should avoid eating or not?
