Now my dad wants to know what are vegetables and other things he should avoid to get relief from arthritis joint pain. I told him to avoid nightshade vegetables, hot spices, sweets, tea, chocolate, white sugar and cocoa.

He was actually not happy with the diet plan of ayurveda, he felt that there was really not much left to eat. I convinced him to follow the diet for few days and if you feel results then only you continue with it further. He did not said affirmative yes, but i know i have convinced him.

Other things that should be avoided by arthritis patients are too much anxiety, stress, too much alcohol and smoking which was indeed very tough for my dad. He has also to continue with light & suitable exercises for arthritis  and light massage with neem oil.

Lets see how much my dad and your dear ones follow this diet and get result.
