To live a healthy and pleasant life, people suffering from arthritis must get relief as soon as possible.

Breakfast is a necessary meal for everyone, it may be even more crucial for people who have arthritis.

That’s why you should choose anti-inflammatory food to get your day started right.

If you consult dietitians and nutritionists about the ideal breakfast, they all agree on oatmeal, chia seeds, walnuts, and berries.

According to experts, inflammation has a part in the deterioration of cartilage and the sensation of pain associated with osteoarthritis.

A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can help reduce the symptoms of arthritis.

Oatmeal is anti-inflammatory and fulfils the requirement for a “filling” protein at mealtime, while berries are among the most antioxidant and polyphenol-rich foods available.

“These foods powerfully counteract inflammation and have been shown to help slow the progress of arthritis specifically,” according to Serena Poon, a professional nutritionist and celebrity chef.

Walnuts are also high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to reduce inflammation.

Chia seeds, according to Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, RDN, are a source of plant omega-3s, the highest found in nature, as well as soluble fiber. They will grow in the liquid, which will keep you satisfied for a longer period of time.

Bazilian suggests adding some ginger (which is both anti-inflammatory and analgesic!) and a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup for sweetness to make it even more delicious.

“Green tea is packed with antioxidants, such as EGCG, which reduces inflammation and decreases joint damage,” adds Sarah Koszyk.

“Polyphenols, other antioxidants, further reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for people who have arthritis.”
