for the poor people suffering from gout [type of arthritis]:

2) Avoid all alcohol - or at least limit yourself.
3) Avoid offal - these are the bodies of animals.

Now for rheumatoid and osteoarthritis:
Eat foods that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, such as:
Oily fish - salmon, sardines, etc.
Add flaxseed to your diet and use of this oil seeds
Use canola oil instead of the usual oil
Nuts contain a good amount of omega-3

This allowance shall not relieve the symptoms of arthritis and any other known to interact with other drugs such as warfarin, remember to consult your doctor before taking this supplement.
Obesity and arthritis
Being overweight puts more pressure on the joints of people than you realize, if the affected joints are the hips, knees and spine extra workload will increase pain and inflammation and arthritis. Osteoarthritis of the risks are also increased due to additional weight on the bone structure of individuals. Due to the stiffness and joint pain, obese people will find it difficult to increase their activities in order to aid in weight loss, here are some strategies to help with the problem:
1) You will have to diet - but ensure that it is high in nutrition and low in kilojoules
2) Try low-impact exercise - swimming, water aerobics [quite as good as the water supports your weight while you exercise] and a long walk [if your knees are not included]
3) Find the exercises that do not use arthritic joints - try a stationary bike, if your hands are arthritis, upper body aerobics if the knee [easy enough to work in a sitting position]
These ideas are just practicing for example, experiment with different activities until you find one that does not affect the joints and arthritis stick with activities while you are dieting.
