If you search you will find I post on this subject. A whole-food plant based diet with no oils will be your best bet. Guaranteed to bring down your blood pressure (so be careful if you are on blood pressure meds - you MUST NOT get BP down too low!) and if you go through an elimination process you could be on the road to solving your arthritis issues.

Why no oils?

I have on occasion suffered from arthritic pains in my knees and neck when I have been burning the candle at both ends and working too hard, and find the best treatment is to have enough rest when possible, and use heat from a hot water bottle, hot bath or shower to relax the area and encourage good blood flow. I don't suffer from high blood pressure fortunately but know that a high BP can be aggravated by too much salt in your diet and high anxiety levels. Regular exercise which in turn leads to better sleep, will help both your blood pressure and arthritis. Try swimming or cycling as this moves the joints without loading them too much. Don't overdo the stimulants such as caffeine, and go easy on the alcohol. Hope you feel better soon!
