Gluten
Gluten initiates the release of the protein zonulin. This protein causes intestinal permeability, whose consequences include immune complexes and systematic inflammation. The former spread quickly to the synovial membrane, depositing in the joint spaces, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. That being said, you may want to follow a gluten-free diet, whether or not you have celiac disease. Foods to eliminate from your diet include wheat, rye, and barley.
Sugar
Taking too much sugar causes an imbalance in your pH, making your body extremely acidic. This results in overly stressed organs, compromised immune system, and inflamed joints. As an arthritis expert, I strongly advise that you moderate your consumption. This involves taking soft drinks, pastries, and candy in reasonable amounts.
Aspartame
Aspartame is an artificial ingredient common in processed foods, spice mixes, and condiments. Since the body cannot process this ingredient, it is more likely to trigger an immune response, causing inflammation. Substitute convenience products including diet sodas and processed foods with anti-inflammatory products including plant-based proteins, fruits, and vegetables.
I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
