Diet always plays an important role in the health of RA patients. The more anti-inflammatory foods such as fruits, herbs, vegetables, and legumes you incorporate into your diet, the better, as they can help reduce the inflammation associated with RA. Bananas can be considered “good” for RA because they are considered a low-purine food that contains vitamin C, which can help reduce inflammation.
Overall, you’re probably better off choosing fruits like cherries, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries that have a more proven anti-inflammatory effect. Oranges, grapefruits, and limes are also excellent sources of Vitamin C and should be included in your diet whenever possible.
