Like most people, you have probably heard of Lyme disease but do not know much about the disorder. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that approximately 300,000 people are diagnosed annually with the condition. It is transmitted to humans through a bite from a blacklegged tick and can affect people of all ages.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, so the 1.3 million U.S. patients struggling with this disorder must look for ways to minimize the severity of their symptoms. One of the most effective ways to manage rheumatoid arthritis is to consume a diet that helps to reduce symptoms while improving your health.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition. It causes painful swelling in the joints, particularly the joints of the wrist, hands, and feet. It can also lead to overall feelings of being “unwell,” such as low-grade fever, loss of appetite, and reduced energy levels. It affects over 1.3 million Americans and is most prevalent in women between the ages of 30 and 50.
