3. Tart Cherry Juice

Juice would not be recommended by your physician when you have arthritis. This is due to the fact that it is high in sugar and has absolutely no fiber. Without fiber, the sugar ends up in your bloodstream and would cause an imbalance. Another fruit you want to avoid is grapefruit, based on research it is able to alter the effects of arthritis medication.

In spite of these restrictions, there are exceptions to the rule. Tart cherry juice has been proven to reduce osteoarthritis and gout symptoms over time. It is quite tasty as well as nutritious.
