Experts advise people suffering from arthritis to be careful when choosing products.

Arthritis is an autoimmune disease: inflammation occurs in the body, affecting the joints. As a result, painful symptoms, swelling, and difficulty with mobility occur.

Today, arthritis is incurable, and those who have the disease must control their lifestyle in order to avoid exacerbations. Including what products are in their diet.

According to available data, people with rheumatoid arthritis may benefit from avoiding certain products – this reduces the incidence of exacerbations with pain or even stops them. The products in question can increase joint inflammation due to the effects of solanine contained in them.

“In old age and in the postmenopausal period, people with arthritis are better off eliminating products with solanine or limiting their consumption.”

It is noted that the most common pain triggers are tomatoes and apples, which contain the aforementioned solanine.

It should be said that not all scientists support the claim that products with solanine can cause inflammation. At the same time, there is evidence from patients with arthritis that the symptoms of the disease worsen after eating vegetables and fruits belonging to the nightshade family. These plant products contain solanine.
