Eating fish may help reduce the joint pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis, a new study has found.
Researchers studied 176 people in a larger health study who had had physical exams and blood tests and filled out food frequency questionnaires that indicated their consumption of various types of non-fried fish.
The study, in Arthritis Care & Research, categorised the participants into groups by fish consumption: less than one serving a month, one a month, one to two a week, and more than two a week. To rate the severity of symptoms they used a “disease activity score”
