Processed and red meats

Red and processed meat have been linked in several studies to inflammation, which may exacerbate the symptoms of arthritis. For instance, inflammatory markers including interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine are found in high concentrations in diets high in processed and red meats.

Red meat was observed to frequently make RA symptoms worse in the research of 217 patients with the condition that was indicated above. Additionally, research including 25,630 participants found that eating a lot of red meat may increase your chance of developing inflammatory arthritis. On the other hand, studies have indicated that plant-based diets that avoid red meat can reduce the symptoms of arthritis.
