Certain foods, including pine nuts, may trigger flare-ups in some people with rheumatoid arthritis, but this varies individually. If you notice a pattern of increased symptoms after eating them, it’s worth avoiding them and discussing with your doctor. As for salt, excessive intake can lead to water retention and potentially worsen inflammation, so it’s best to limit it. A balanced, anti-inflammatory diet is ideal.
