1, food containing solanine
Nutrition believes that foods containing solanine will hinder the immune response of human body to resist inflammation, so foods containing solanine such as potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and tobacco are not suitable for arthritis patients, otherwise allergic reactions to these vegetables will lead to the outbreak of inflammation.
2, greasy food
The harm of high-fat food to health is not detailed here. Similarly, patients with arthritis should not eat greasy high-fat foods, because ketone bodies will be produced in the process of fat oxidation in the body, and too many ketone bodies will have a strong stimulating effect on joints, so patients with rheumatoid arthritis should not eat more high-fat foods.
3. Acidic food
Arthritis patients should control the intake of acidic food, because if they eat too much acidic food such as peanuts, oranges, grapes, chickens and ducks, fish, meat and eggs, which exceeds the normal pH value in the body, the pH value in the body will temporarily deviate, and lactic acid secretion will be excessive, which will consume a certain amount of calcium and magnesium plasma in the body and aggravate the symptoms of arthritis.
4. Foods with high sugar content
Sugar is the main cause of joint pain. The sugar content of a can of carbonated drinks is about 39 grams, and the food made of wheat bran and refined flour also has more sugar content. These foods can cause inflammation and pain, so arthritis patients should not eat these foods.

Arthritis patients should not eat preserved foods such as bacon, pickles and preserved fish, because eating these salty foods will lead to the increase of sodium ions in the body, leading to sodium retention and aggravating the discomfort of arthritis.
6.seafood
Seafood food is taboo for patients who need rheumatoid arthritis. Patients should not eat more seafood, such as kelp, sea cucumber, marine fish, shrimp and so on. Seafood contains uric acid, which can form urate crystals in joints after being absorbed by the human body, making the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis worse.

Therefore, patients with arthritis, it is best to consult a doctor or nutritionist before eating, to know which foods are not suitable for eating, and how to cook and relieve pain through information such as diet.

Appropriate cooperation with traditional Chinese medicine can obviously increase the curative effect and reduce the side effects of the medicine.
2. Psychological factors:
A healthy mental state is conducive to the recovery of the disease, while a bad mental state not only affects the enthusiasm of cooperating with treatment and rehabilitation exercise, but also causes negative psychological stimulation, which acts on organs and systems dominated by the autonomic nervous system and affects the whole body through the endocrine system, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease. Therefore, we must have the determination and perseverance to overcome the disease.
3, diet and daily life:
There are no obvious taboos in diet. Take high vitamins, high-quality protein and a light and balanced diet, drink more milk or yogurt, and avoid eating too much fatty food and too sour and salty food.

The exercise process should follow the principles of "relaxing nature" and "step by step", and the key lies in persistence.
