Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that certainly holds true when you’re managing a chronic condition like rheumatoid arthritis, or RA. If you have RA, every meal is an opportunity to give your joints some support. While there’s no specific diet that can cure RA, foods with anti-inflammatory properties can soothe joint pain and stiffness — a process that starts in the gut. “When you eat, your food goes through 20 feet of bowel, the most important barrier between the outside world and the inside world — and, in fact, the immune system,” says Aly Cohen, MD, the founder and medical director of Integrative Rheumatology Associates in Princeton, New Jersey, and the author of The Smart Human blog. “The gut is the connection between how we eat and how our joints feel.” Unfortunately, typical breakfast foods — like scones, waffles, and cereals — aren’t the best choices. “All of these are pretty much carbohydrates, which break down very quickly in the body into sugary components, and sugar is inflammatory,” says Dr. Cohen. Instead, aim for an anti-inflammatory morning meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Try leftovers from a healthy dinner, like grilled chicken and vegetables — or make one of these RA-friendly breakfasts: Greek yogurt with fruit Yogurt is packed with filling protein and good bacteria. In a study published in December 2017 in the British Journal of Nutrition, women who ate low-fat yogurt daily for nine weeks had reduced signs of inflammation compared with women who didn’t. Cohen recommends plain Greek yogurt, which has more protein than other kinds. Just check the ingredients list to make sure there’s no added sugar. Then add a sliced organic green apple or a handful of organic berries. These whole fruits contain inflammation-fighting antioxidants, as well as fiber, such as pectin. In a study published in January 2018 in the journal Nature Communications, mice that ate a diet high in pectin had significantly less inflammation and bone damage than those on a standard diet. What’s more, as your gut ferments this type of fiber, it produces anti-inflammatory fatty acids, which are also good for people with RA.
