Psoriatic arthritis is a condition in which sufferers are afflicted by both the skin condition psoriasis and arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis is similar to other kinds of arthritis in that joint pain, stiffness and inflammation are experienced.

As far as coming up with a diet for psoriatic arthritis, there is no evidence that any particular type of food will cure arthritis or prevent someone from having arthritis. But there are some pieces of dietary advice that will benefit people who suffer from the disease.

By eating a well balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight will help combat some of the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. Keeping weight down is all-important for people who suffer from arthritis because any extra weight will put added stress on knee, hip and ankle joints.
Food that you want to try to eat more of when you have psoriatic arthritis includes:

  • Fish, particularly the kinds of fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids. The fish you should look for are herring, sardines, tuna, trout, mackerel and  salmon

  • Walnuts. Again it’s the presence of omega-3 that makes walnuts an important food source because it helps in the reduction of inflammation in the body.

  • Fruit and vegetables. Any healthy diet consists of a large range of fruit and vegetables. The advice is that it is better to avoid some types of fruit and vegetables such as citrus and nightshades, the rest are essential for the nutrients and fiber they add to the diet.

  • Turmeric and ginger. These two spices are good for arthritis sufferers because they suppress the Cox2 pathways and doing so is a way of treating the pain and swelling of arthritis inflammation.

  • Olive Oil. Olive oil provides antioxidants that help to rid the body of free radicals which are destructive molecules that are linked to conditions such as arthritis.

  • Limiting your intake of alcohol will also help in your fight to control psoriatic arthritis. Calcium and folic acid are also important contributors to your overall health and should be included in an arthritis diet.

A well-balanced diet that has a liberal proportion of the food types mentioned above will at least help to ease the pain of inflammation and control the flare ups that are experienced by all arthritis sufferers.
