There are many types of arthritis, but osteoarthritis is one of
the most common. Arthritis patients endure endless pain, stiff joints and
difficulty of movement. Stiff joints is the major causes of the "tear and
wear" damage in the joints. In Osteoarthritis there is a deterioration of
the joints, the cartilage wears away leading to the adjourning bones to rub on
each other. Osteoarthritis tend to occur more in the elderly. Surgery and joint
replacement is one of the ways by which the disease may be managed but it is
expensive. Recently, a more successful, less expensive and safer option than joint
replacements adopted are lifestyle changes and proper diets. However, there are
still better ways we can remedy joint pains and other arthritis associated symptoms.
For rheumatoid arthritis the first thing required is the right
diet that supplies the body with the right minerals to lubricate the joints,
keep the joints healthy and pain-free. The right type of food and food
supplement is essential in the treatment of arthritis. Vitamin C, E, zinc, B 6,
copper and boron are important to have in our diet. Bone broth is one food that
is good for arthritis as it has a number of important nutrients such as
minerals, silicon, glucose amine and sulfate which help to rebuild bones and cartilage.
Add a mixture of nuts or any other product that is rich in omega 3 oils in your
diet. Select a variety of fish in your diet as well as krill oil which is more
potent than fish oil. Macadamia or coconut oil is best for frying because it
has exceptionally high smoke point. It also has one of the healthiest fats,
monounsaturated fatty acids. Cold pressed olive oil is best for salads and
toppings. Take at least one tablespoon every day.
Over time cartilage cells repair themselves and restore vital
tissues around them. Exercises that involves movement of the joints is part of
the healing process.
Weight above the normal recommended body weight exerts pressure to
the already weak joints. Weight obviously speeds up the wear and tear of joints
and increases the risk of developing the condition even more. Therefor loose
that excess weight and make a great difference in the amount of pain you feel.
