14. Yes. I can attest to the value of an anti-inflammatory diet--not only for arthritis but in general

Because so many are "addicted" to highly processed foods, it takes some effort, but it is worth it. For those who follow it, they can immediately see why it makes the difference because a severe flare of symptoms will follow even one episode of sugary treats and simple carbs the day before.

To those recommending therapeutic stretching and yoga, that too is highly effective over the long term.

There are some safer supplements, especially for those who can't take NSAIDs. Among those SAM-e (S-adenosyl-L-methionine) which is naturally occurring in the body. Its benefits as a supplement include anti-inflammatory impacts among others and is accompanied by supportive studies. It is generally safe to supplement except for those on anti-depressants or other similar classes of drugs ( https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-same/art-20364924 )
