Inflammation and pain in the joints are characteristics of a disease known as arthritis. There are many types of arthritis. The most common types are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia. People who have been diagnosed with the skin condition of psoriasis are often diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. It is a chronic type of arthritis. Similar to other types of arthritis, the joints become inflammatory and painful in this condition. In the long run, the joints can face some severe damage as well. When diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, there are certain foods that help manage its symptoms. On the other hand, there are other foods that one needs to avoid while coping with this inflammatory condition. The following foods can be consumed when diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis: Anti-inflammatory omega-3s Anti-inflammatory foods are an essential element of reducing any potential and painful side effects. Hence, they are an important part in the diet of people diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids constitute a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). They have been proven to be quite helpful in coping and managing many health conditions due to their anti-inflammatory properties. According to a study, people who have been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis were given PUFA supplements for over a period of 12 weeks.

An allergy can be explained a response of the immune system to a foreign substance. Allergies are divided into different types and these types have further sub-divisions. The major classes are respiratory allergies, skin allergies, food allergies and a class of miscellaneous allergies. The sub-divisions in these classes are as follows: Respiratory allergies Summer allergies: The trigger in this type of allergies is pollen from weed and grass. Winter allergies:  If the trigger is something found indoors, such as allergies from mites or molds, they will affect you more in the winters as a higher amount of time is spent inside during this period. Spring allergies: While there is no particular cure for allergies that pop up during this season, several kinds of medication and changes in habits can help in coping with them. Fall allergies: In this season, the allergies are usually triggered by mold, ragweed and dust mites. Dog and cat allergies: About 37% to 47% of American households have a dog and as per the reports, about 10% of the American population has cats. Cat allergies, however, are known to be more common than dog allergies. Hay fever: This condition is also known as allergic rhinitis and attacks the individual in the form of an immune response when they come in contact with pollen grains or similar substances.

The food we eat is probably at the core of the causes of diarrhea. Overeating, indigestion, old food, stale food, and contaminated food can all trigger an upset stomach. During treatment, one has to manage what they eat as much as possible, consuming only light foods. However, during recovery, one has to plan their diet carefully so that they can quickly regain their energy and get back to their routine once again. The popular BRAT diet comprising bananas, rice, apples, and toast has been the go-to home remedy for patients recovering from an acute attack of diarrhea. Though this helps to stabilize during recovery, it does not have the necessary nutrients like protein, vitamins, and calcium to replace the energy lost. Also, the BRAT diet is not ideal for children. Fiber is generally recommended to induce stools, and hence, it should be avoided right after an acute attack. Moreover, there is some fiber that gets dissolved in water; this soluble fiber serves as a prebiotic to the healthy bacteria in the gut and delays the stools from moving out of the body, thereby slowly reducing diarrhea. A BRAT diet can be ideal for breakfast, but protein and non-dairy probiotics can be added during the day.
