Foods Arthritis Sufferers Should Avoid for Better Relief

French Fries Are a No-Go

Let's face it, French fries are tasty, but they don't pack much of a nutritional punch, and if you have arthritis, they're best avoided. A study from Mount Sinai School of Medicine found that cutting back on fried foods can help reduce inflammation and even boost your body's natural defenses. French fries are loaded with advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are harmful toxins that can damage proteins in your body. And the salt added to fries? It can make joint inflammation worse.
