High-fiber foods: More fiber in your diet is likely to decrease inflammation, says the Arthritis Foundation. A 2009 review published in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition also showed that high-fiber diets combined with eating more healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats also helped people lose weight.
