Foods Arthritis Sufferers Should Avoid for Better Relief

Put Down The Bacon

Bacon has earned its place as the "cool" food in America -- you'll find it in salads, donuts, burgers, and more. But here's the thing: bacon is loaded with saturated fat, which can spike your cholesterol and raise your heart disease risk. Plus, bacon has been linked to cancer, according to a 2015 study. For those dealing with arthritis, bacon's fat content and how it's cooked can worsen inflammation, especially when it's loaded with advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are nasty little culprits that mess with your joints.
