Just as fat can increase inflammation, there are foods both good and bad for arthritis and inflamed joints. Introduce more healthy fats like omega 3’s into your diet.  This helps fight inflammation. Rich sources of omega 3’s are salmon, chia seeds, avocados, walnuts. You can also get fish oil supplements too. In addition, increase fibre in your diet which improves digestive health to reduce the risk of inflammation.
