Eat well balanced meals on regular schedule, every day. Some say tomatoes and potatoes can be harmful, but it's mostly myth. Cherries, however, help with inflammation. The darker the better, drink 6-8oz daily. Maintaining healthy weight is key to keeping joints healthy and to minimize the risks of other auto-immune related illnesses. Eat small amounts often, about 6 meals daily.
