5. Gluten and Refined Cereals
Refined cereals (white bread, white pasta, white rice) have a high glycaemic index, which promotes inflammation in the body. In addition, gluten in wheat, barley and rye may be poorly tolerated by some people with osteoarthritis.
Healthy alternative: Opt for gluten-free whole grains such as quinoa, buckwheat and whole rice.
6. The Excess of Salt
Excessive salt consumption may promote water retention, thereby increasing inflammation and pressure on the joints. Ultra-processed foods (prepared dishes, preserves, industrial sauces) are often very high in sodium.
Healthy alternative: Use aromatic spices and herbs (curcuma, ginger, thyme) to season your dishes while enjoying their anti-inflammatory benefits.
