Inflammation is a major component in most Rheumatic pain conditions or rheumatic diseases
therefore it is adviceable to eat a good amount of food that reduces inflammation and reduce the consumption of food that contains inflammatory agents. Here are some simple dietary advices that may help reduce rheumatic conditions:

THINGS YOU SHOULD EAT TO REDUCE RHEUMATISM

Fish
espesially fat fish
fish oil
olive oil
walnut oil and raps oil should be a part of your diet. The fat in these types of food
omega-3-poly-unsaturated fat or omega-9-poly-unsaturated fat
reduces inflammation. However
if you add these type of oils to your diet
you should reduce the intake of other types of fat
so that you do not get too much fat.
You should also eat much vegetables
since also these make a body chemistry that reduce inflammation.

THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT EAT TOO MUCH OF

Do not consume much soya oil and corn oil
since these types of fat increase inflammation. Most food you buy that is ready to eat from the factory or restaurant contain these types of fat. You should therefore reduce the consumption of food you do not cook yourself.

Bread
cereals and products made of corn or cereals also increase the inflammation responce
especially if they contain wheat. Wheat causes a special type of inflammation in the intestines called celiac disease in some individuals
but may also trigger inflammation of non-celiac type. However
full-corn cereals and full-corn bread are valuable types of food
so you should not stop eating them. But if you eat bread or corn products at every meal
you should reduce your intake of these and eat more potatos
beans and peas.

THINGS YOU SHOULD IDEALLY NOT EAT AT ALL

You should absolutely not consume fat that has been chemically altered to give it another consistence. This type of fat has a very negative effect on the health and may be very potent inflamatory agents. Margarine
snacks
fast food and ready made cakes or cookies often contain this kind of fat. Unfortunately this type of fat is also often added to bread. A good idea could be to bake your bread yourself.
