Rheumatoid arthritis is chronic and symmetrical inflammation of the joints – that is, redness, warmth, swelling and pain on both the left and right sides.

Symptoms may develop quickly or gradually increase over many years.

There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, and treatment usually focuses on reducing inflammation and treating the damaged joints.

However, more and more people are discovering that simple lifestyle and food choices can make the world of difference in terms of the severity of their symptoms and overall mobility.
