Arthritis and Food

The focus won't be on the medical aspect. At the same time, it has not yet been proven that any food can cure arthritis.

Also, Arthritis, presently has no cure However, it can be well managed with less or no pain.

Arthritis is in many forms but we will be dealing majorly with Osteoarthritis which is also known as Degenerate Joint Disease.

Follow me carefully:

Osteoarthritis is characterized by severe joint pains and Inflammation and there are different causes;

1. It is caused when the cartilages that cushions the friction of movement between two bones wears away. The results is serious pain as bones crushes against bone

2. Viral infections: When the body is trying to protect and kill virus by causing inflammations around the area of the joint. Sometimes, the body overdoes it and this leads to chronic Arthritis if fast treatment is not taken.

Unlike the other types of arthritis, once the viruses are eliminated from the body, the pain and Inflammation goes away. Let's stop here. Read more on causes here

How does food enter the whole scenario?

Food intake from birth helps the development of the whole body including bones. So there is no way we would deal with arthritis without mentioning food.

Also, Food might not be able to cure arthritis but your DIET plays a major factor in activating joint pain and reducing the pain and Inflammation.

The wrong diet will cause constant and consistent severe pain while others will help soothe the pain.

Foods that contributes to arthritis pains and Inflammation

I'm going to put these foods in two sections;

Foods to Limit and those to Avoid totally


1. FATTY FOODS AND JUNKS

Note pls;

Not all fats are bad. Actually, you need it in your daily food intake. However, there is what we call LDL (low density cholesterol) which are the bad fats and the HDL which are the good fat.

LDL (low density cholesterol ) or Saturated fat

They are called bad fats because they tend to form cholesterols inside the artery.

So you need to lower these set of foods;

* Red Meat

* Butter

* Cheese

* Vegetable oil. You can use coconut oil instead as research found that it has anti-inflammatory properties

* Fried foods

* Too salty foods. Limit your salt intake.
