3. Focus on Breakfast
Those with RA need to protect their joints but also repair the damage that their autoimmune response causes, and one of the best ways to do that is with good nutrition. After eight hours with no food, your body really needs a boost to rejuvenate cells and help you get moving to loosen up your joints.
Aim for a light but balanced breakfast, with protein, wholesome carbohydrates and a bit of healthy fat. A small portion of nuts or nut butter plus a piece of fruit and some oatmeal is one example, or perhaps a poached egg on wholegrain toast with a glass of milk and a banana sounds better to you. In any case, a range of nutrients and minerals is the best way to start your day.
If you've tried other treatment options for arthritis that haven't worked, then clinical trials for arthritis may be an option for you. Learn more here.
