Foods high in salt

For those who have arthritis, reducing salt intake may be a wise decision. Shrimp, canned soup, pizza, certain cheeses, processed meats, and several other processed foods are examples of foods rich in salt. According to mouse research, mice fed a high salt diet had more severe arthritis than mice on a diet with normal salt levels.

62-day mouse research also showed that, in contrast to a high salt diet, a reduced salt diet lessened the severity of RA. In comparison to mice on a high salt diet, mice on a reduced salt diet exhibited less bone loss and cartilage degradation as well as lower levels of inflammatory markers. It's interesting to note that some studies believe a high salt diet may increase the likelihood of developing autoimmune conditions like inflammatory arthritis. High salt consumption was linked to a higher incidence of RA in research including 18,555 individuals.
