The 3 WORST Foods Making Your Arthritis Pain Worse (Avoid These!)

Have you ever woken up and felt like your joints “rusted” overnight? That morning stiffness, swelling, and ache can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. But here’s the surprising truth: many times, the real culprit isn’t just inside your joints — it’s on your plate. I’m Dr. Brian, and in this episode of Wellness Blueprint Over 50, I’ll reveal the 3 worst foods for arthritis swelling and joint pain — and explain why they secretly fuel inflammation, stiffness, and damage to your cartilage. 🥩 Worst Food #1: Processed & Red Meats Why bacon, sausages, and steak increase inflammatory cytokines and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), making joints stiff and painful. 🍞 Worst Food #2: Refined Carbohydrates & Sugars How white bread, pasta, pastries, and sodas spike blood sugar, form AGEs, and attack your cartilage. 🍟 Worst Food #3: Fried & Fast Foods Why omega-6 oils, trans fats, and excess sodium in fast food worsen swelling and accelerate joint damage. But don’t worry — you’ll also learn simple food swaps that fight inflammation, reduce pain, and help restore flexibility, so you can enjoy walking, gardening, and playing with your grandchildren again. ✨ Remember: food can either fuel arthritis… or help you heal. And every small choice counts. If you want to live with less pain and more freedom after 50, this video is for you. #Arthritis #JointPain #WellnessOver50 #HealthyAging #AntiInflammatoryDiet #DrBrian
