When it comes to fighting inflammation with fruit, the key is variety! Here are some of the best options to consider:

- Berries – Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries are packed with antioxidants and polyphenols that help protect cells from damage
- Bananas – Great in smoothies and easy to keep frozen for quick use
- Peaches – Another antioxidant-rich option
- Apples – A solid everyday fruit with anti-inflammatory benefits
- Avocado – Yes, it's technically a fruit! It contains healthy fats that can help reduce inflammation

Whole fruits are always better than fruit juice, since juice removes most of the fiber. Fiber is important because higher-fiber diets have been linked to lower inflammation in people with RA.

Frozen fruits can be just as beneficial as fresh — sometimes even more so — making them a convenient and budget-friendly option to keep on hand.
