4. Added sugars
A lot of people love sugar. It is sweet after all. Unfortunately, it is another indulgence that might increase your pain if you suffer from arthritis. When the proteins in your body as well as the fats come into contact with sugar, your body produces “advanced glycation end products” (AGEs). These AGEs will make you age faster, which is something you do not want and will trigger further inflammation. So, to avoid further pain, go for sugar sources that are less processed, like honey.
