The Arthritis Foundation (AF) explains: “Salmon, tuna, sardines, herring and other cold-water fish are rich in omega -3 fatty acids, which may help control inflammation.”
According to the AF, your body needs a healthy balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Researchers have found that a greater ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s is associated with an increase in chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
It is also important to avoid foods that aggravate rheumatoid arthritis.
