A consultation with a nutritionist or a physician about holistic medicine for arthritis may yield additional diet or lifestyle advice to help you manage your condition.

Vitamin D deficiency and insufficient calcium absorption can weaken existing bones and prevent the formation of strong, new bone.
People with RA need a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, including antioxidants (vitamin E, C, and selenium), vitamin B6 and B12, folic acid, collagen, and zinc, which have potential benefits in managing RA symptoms.
Nutrition can help, either with medicines or, in some cases, instead of them. Foods affect the joints in two major ways. First, certain foods trigger the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, and eliminating these foods sometimes causes even long-standing symptoms to improve or even remit entirely. Second, certain fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory action that can reduce joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.
