This pilot study investigated how a short-term anti-inflammatory diet might reduce pain and inflammation in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Over a two-week period, participants followed a diet rich in omega-3 fats, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric, while avoiding pro-inflammatory foods such as red meat, gluten, and lactose. Researchers observed improvements in joint tenderness, swelling, and overall disease activity, suggesting dietary changes may complement standard RA treatments.
