There are mythical diets that promise great results in the fight against excess weight.
But diets invented by various experts to combat chronic diseases are considered no less dangerous.
Experts have revealed which myths about nutrition for rheumatoid arthritis should be forgotten.
Myth #1: Nightshades
It is believed that if you start eating vegetables from the nightshade family (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers) when you have this disease, the symptoms of the disease will intensify and the condition will worsen.
In fact, the ban on the consumption of these vegetables depends on the individual characteristics of the body.
Not all patients have to follow it.
Myth #2: Milk and carbohydrates
It is also recommended to exclude carbohydrates and dairy products.
However, many do not even suspect that giving up these products does not cure the disease.
But carbohydrates are essential for the body to produce energy, and dairy products help maintain healthy bones.
The best diet
It is believed that the best diet for rheumatoid arthritis is to follow the Mediterranean diet.
But before you change anything in your basic diet, you should consult your doctor.
