Can anti-inflammatory diets cure arthritis? Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Akhilesh Rathi separates fact from online myths

Dr Akhilesh Rathi says no single food or diet can cure or reverse arthritis.

Anti-inflammatory diets focus on vegetables, fruits, and whole grains to reduce inflammation.

Influencers often promote turmeric, ginger, or eliminating gluten and dairy as arthritis remedies without scientific backing.

Dr Rathi advises that diet is part of a comprehensive plan including exercise, weight management, and medical care.

Patients frequently believe misleading social media claims that specific diets cure arthritis.
