Arthritis & Diet
There is plenty of research about how nutrients affect good joint health and mobility. It's not a case however of expensive or elaborate diets. The best advice you can receive is to eat a healthy well balanced diet. For most of us, however, our diets fall short of ideals.
As we shall see, one of the most important food elements we should include for maintaining healthy joints are omega-3 fatty acids. And, from what we know about our 'normal' western diet, we don't get nearly enough fish oils. So we look to supplement our diets. And, since you would have to eat an awful lot of mackerel or salmon to see any of the benefits, Lyprinol represents an excellent addition to a healthy diet and lifestyle. Why? Because it's safe, potent and easy to get enough of.
When it comes to arthritis and diet, however, there are no quick fixes. If you feel that you are not getting enough omega-3 fatty acids you may consider taking Lyprinol to supplement a healthy diet:
- Eat a variety of foods to get a balanced diet
- Include vegetables, fruits and grains
- Regulate how much fat and cholesterol you eat
- Eat sugar only in moderation
- Keep a healthy weight
- Use salt in moderation; limit your sodium intake
- Take the RDA of vitamins and minerals, including calcium
If you take only a small part of information with you, let it be the 7 points above. Unless your regular diet gives you all the important basic nutrients including minerals such as calcium and iron, then your general health will suffer. This will also make your arthritis worse.
But you can still do better. For people with arthritis, there will often be an 'allergy food'. The most common allergy food culprits for arthritis are:
- Sugar
- Caffeine
- Citrus
- Salt
- Red meat
- Dairy products
- Additives
- Soft drinks
- Flour
- Aubergine or eggplants
- Red peppers
- Tomatoes
- White potatoes
- Tobacco
If you're asking yourself 'what's left?', you probably need to make a change to your diet. There's a lot of good stuff left over.
If you do eat these foods in large amounts or on a regular basis, pay attention to any reaction you have in the next 24 hours. Never, under any circumstances, consider fasting.
Foods which are actively good for healthy joints
One of the most exciting recent discoveries is that certain kinds of oil in the diet help some people with arthritis. These oils contain essential fatty acids (EFAs), essential meaning your body doesn't make them itself - you must get them from your diet.
Your body uses these EFAs to make chemicals called prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and the right balance of these is important to control inflammation. There are two groups of EFAs: omega-3, found mostly in fish oil; and omega-6, mostly from plant seed oils like sunflower oil.
Omega-3 Fish Oils
Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are found naturally in oily fish, especially mackerel, sardines, pilchards and salmon. If you can, try to eat oily fish three or four times a week. Apart from helping with joint care, it also helps protect against heart disease. The main omega-3 EFAs are called EPA and DHA.
Fish liver oil (cod or halibut) also contains these EFAs as well as vitamin D, which helps the body to absorb calcium. But fish liver oils also contain a lot of vitamin A. This is dangerous in large amounts, and in particular should not be taken by pregnant women, or women who might become pregnant, because vitamin A can harm the unborn baby. This means that women in these groups should not take fish liver oils or vitamin A supplements at all. Other adults should not take more than 9000 micrograms (µg) of vitamin A per day for men and 7500 µg per day for women.
