Yeah, anything that will help reduce inflamation is important. I found this on the new revamped Arthritis page : “Combine all of the diet recommendations - limit between-meal snacks (especially if you’re overweight); carefully select and use fats in moderation; limit your intake of animal proteins; and increase nuts, beans, legumes and fish,” I hadn't realized that animal proteins can cause problems. HMMM I don't eat much meat, but will notice after I do, now.
