Foods Arthritis Sufferers Should Avoid for Better Relief

Tomatoes? Maybe Skip Them

Even though tomatoes are technically fruits, they can still make life harder for people with arthritis. Tomatoes belong to the nightshade family, which contains substances that can trigger inflammation in your body. The Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine points out that these nightshades could cause some trouble for your joints. But don't worry, you can swap tomatoes for arthritis-friendly alternatives like apples, pears, green beans, and spinach. Delicious, right?
