–

An article in the United States that arthritis sufferers can benefit from drinking less than four cups of coffee a day can help relieve symptoms. Antioxidants such as polyphenols contained in coffee exert anti-inflammatory effects and lighten inflammation in arthritis patients.

The Korea Food Communication Forum is an article titled’Coffee and Arthritis: Pros and Cons’ by the American online health media’Verywell Health’, which revealed the relationship between coffee consumption and arthritis. Introducing the research results.

The effect of coffee consumption on joint health was different depending on the type of arthritis, coffee consumption, and decaffeinated presence.

There is no connection between psoriatic arthritis and coffee consumption. According to a paper published in the 2017 Autoimmunity Reviews, when psoriasis patients enjoy coffee, they can experience relief of symptoms such as pain thanks to anti-inflammatory ingredients such as caffeine and chlorogenic acid (a type of polyphenol) rich in coffee . This is because the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as polyphenols, contained in coffee protect the cells of our body from damage such as inflammation caused by free radicals. Decaffeinated coffee also contains a large amount of antioxidants such as polyphenols other than caffeine.

In 2020, a study published a study showing that the anti-inflammatory properties of GN coffee from Nutrients could potentially benefit patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This is because joint pain decreases when body inflammation decreases. Caffeine, which is abundant in coffee, relieves physical and mental fatigue, which is common in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

In 2007, a research paper was published showing that intake of coffee for Arthritis & Rheumatism lowers blood uric acid levels. When a person’s blood uric acid level drops, the likelihood of having a gout attack decreases. That’s why we recommend adequate coffee consumption for gout patients.

In the 2020 Journal of Clinical Medicine, a research paper was published saying that caffeine intake needs to be limited to prevent osteoarthritis.

The limiting amount of caffeine that arthritis patients can consume daily is about 400 mg. This means to enjoy coffee within 4 cups of Americano standards.

If you have arthritis, you also need to remember the relationship between coffee consumption and arthritis medication. Even if you’re taking arthritis medication, you don’t need to avoid coffee consumption. However, if you are taking Prednisone, a steroidal arthritis treatment, you need to refrain from excessive coffee consumption. A common side effect of prednisone is insomnia, so consuming too much coffee can interfere with your sleep.

Coffee can be beneficial if you’re taking Metotrexate. A research paper showing that coffee consumption relieves symptoms of drug intolerance was published in the 2020 Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
