 | There's no such thing as a cure-all diet for psoriatic arthritis (PsA). But if you're living with the joint pain and stiffness of this inflammatory disease, experimenting with different foods may help you discover what makes you feel better or worse.
While there are no hard and fast rules, certain foods such as salmon, with its omega-3 fatty acids, tend to help reduce inflammation, while others, like fatty meat, may fan its flames. Finding what works for you involves some trial and error. Start by learning how these foods affect psoriatic arthritis: |
• Salmon. Salmon is rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids — a big benefit for people with inflammatory conditions such as PsA. The American Heart Association recommends eating salmon and other fatty fish at least twice a week to protect against heart disease. This is particularly important because having PsA increases your risk of heart attack and stroke.
• Whole grains. Whole grains such as brown and wild rice, whole-wheat pasta, quinoa, barley, and bulgur are loaded with fiber and can help maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. High blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease — and having PsA may increase that risk even more.
