"If you've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, you'll usually be offered a combination of DMARD tablets as part of your initial treatment," explains the health body.

These medicines ease the symptoms of the condition and slow down its progression.

It's also important to ensure your overall diet is still healthy and balanced.

"A Mediterranean-style diet, which is based on vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, beans, cereals, grains, fish and unsaturated fats such as olive oil, is recommended," says the NHS.

There's also some evidence to suggest that taking fish oil supplements may help reduce joint pain and stiffness caused by rheumatoid arthritis.

It is worth noting that some people with rheumatoid arthritis feel their symptoms get worse after they have eaten certain foods.

"If you think this may be the case for you, it may be useful to try avoiding problematic foods for a few weeks to see if your symptoms improve," advises the NHS.
