The major triggers of arthritis That absolutely can not eat

Millions of people suffer from due to arthritis pain in swollen joints.

Earlier doctors told the patients suffering from arthritis that changes in diet will not help them. However, these findings were based on earlier studies of the diets that included dairy products oil poultry or meat.

New research shows that food contributes to the development of arthritis more often than previously thought. It is clear that, at least for some people, the solution to the problem will be more healthy menu.

Different types of arthritis

In fact, arthritis is a group of different diseases.

Osteoarthritis is a gradual degradation of cartilage, overgrowth of bone tissue in the joints, especially knee, hip, spine and fingertips. Over 20 million Americans mostly over the age of 45, suffer from osteoarthritis, which seems to be the result of a gradual wear of the joints. Although osteoarthritis can cause episodic pain it is characterized by only transient stiffness of the joints and does not create any problems with the hands.

Rheumatoid arthritis which affects more than 2 million people – a more aggressive form of the disease. It causes pain, inflammation and sometimes damage to the joints.

Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the mysteries for medicine. Until the beginning of 1800-ies had no medical references about this disease. Some suspect that there may be a role to play some kind of virus or bacterium that may trigger an autoimmune reaction. Genetics can also be a factor in the sense that it can determine the susceptibility to disease.

 

The role of nutrition

For many years people suspected that nutrition plays an important role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis.

Many note an improvement in their condition when they avoid eating dairy, citrus, tomatoes, eggplant and some other products.

At first the evidence was episodic. A woman from Midwest once suffered from arthritic pain. Today she is the picture of health, thin and athletic, and the arthritis is not gone. It seems that the perpetrators of her arthritis were dairy products, because when she eliminated them from her diet, the arthritis disappeared completely.

Another woman from Wisconsin also found that her arthritis is directly associated with dairy products. Although she grew up on a dairy farm, learned that the right way to alleviate the symptoms was to stay away from dairy products.

In 1989, a survey of more than a thousand arthritis patients revealed that food, most often exacerbate this condition, are:

  • red meat,
  • sugar,
  • fats,
  • Sol,
  • caffeine,
  • nightshade (for example, tomatoes, eggplants).
 

If these products are completely excluded from the diet, improvement usually occurs within a few weeks.

Dairy products are one of the main culprits, and the problem is not the fat and protein in milk so that the cream represents a problem as whole milk.

More and more studies show that certain changes in the diet do help. For example, polyunsaturated fats and supplements containing omega-3 have mild beneficial effects, and the researchers found the beneficial effects of the vegan diet.

One study 2002 examined the effects dietas vegan, very low in fat to people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis varying degrees — from mild to severe. After only four weeks of diet significantly eased the symptoms of almost all degrees of severity.

The journal "Rheumatology" published a study that found that gluten free vegan diet reduces signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Another study showed that raw food vegan diet rich in antioxidants and fiber, reduces stiffness and tenderness of joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Some researchers have studied the effects of fasting and subsequent transition to a vegetarian or vegan diet. A review of numerous studies showed that such treatment diet may be useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Vegan diets significantly reduce total amount of fat in the diet and change their relationship. This, in turn, can affect the immune processes that influence arthritis. Fatty acids omega-3 contained in vegetables may be the main acting force, along with an almost complete absence of saturated fat. The fact that a vegan diet patients and lose weight also improves.

In addition, vegetables are rich in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals. Not containing oxygen radicals attack the various organs and contribute to the development of heart disease and cancer and increase the aging process, including joints.

Iron acts as a catalyst, spurring the production of these dangerous molecules. Vitamins C and E, which are rich diet, consisting of vegetables and grains help neutralize free radicals. Meat products overload the body with iron, don't supply vitamin C and vitamin E give in very small amounts, whereas vegetables contain more controlled amounts of iron, and in abundance — vitamins-antioxidants.

Besides the fact that antioxidants prevent the development of arthritis, they may also play a role in alleviating his symptoms. Some medicines for arthritis, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs work, partly neutralizing free radicals. However vitamins and other antioxidants will be of more benefit as a prophylactic than as a cure for the inflamed joint.

Thus, diet composed of fruits, vegetables, cereals and legumes helps prevent and in some cases relieve arthritis.

 

The four-week anti-arthritis diet (taken from: "overcoming pain," Neal Barnard, MD)

 

For four weeks include in your normal diet more products from safe list. At the same time carefully avoid the main triggers. It is important to completely eliminate these products, as even small amounts can cause symptoms.

Products that are not included neither in one nor in the other list, can be used provided that you use a large number of safe products and carefully avoiding the major triggers.

You can feel the beneficial effects sooner than four weeks, but some people need that long to calm down chronically inflamed joints.

 Safe product

Safe foods virtually never contribute to arthritis or other painful conditions. It:

  • Brown rice 
  • Cooked or dried fruit: cherries, cranberries, pears, prunes (but not citrus fruits, bananas, peaches or tomatoes)
  • Cooked green, yellow and orange vegetables: artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, chard, Collard, lettuce, spinach, string beans, pumpkin, Yam, tapioca and Taro (sing)
  • Water: well suited plain water or sparkling, for example, Perrier. Other beverages even herbal teas can be triggers.
  • Seasonings: moderate amounts of salt, maple syrup, vanilla extract are usually well tolerated.
 

In four weeks, if your symptoms have subsided or disappeared, you will need to figure out which or what items trigger you created the problem.

Just enter the excluded foods back into your diet, one every two days.

Eat plenty of each newly introduced product and see whether or again to become inflamed your joints. If this happens, eliminate the products, in all probability, caused the problem that the joints have calmed down again. Then continue entering the rest of the products. Wait at least two weeks, and then a second time to try the problem food. Many people have more than one food trigger.

It is not recommended to return to a diet of meat, dairy products or eggs. Not only are they major triggers, but also disrupt the hormonal balance and can contribute to joint pain and many other health problems.

Another approach

For some patients suffering from arthritis have proved helpful certain essential fatty acid. They need to be viewed more as medicine than as food.

A typical diet should include a tablespoon linseed oil 500 mg the black currant oil (or three capsules of evening primrose oil) twice a day. If it helps, the trick is to be reduced to a minimum helps dose.

For some people a beneficial effect the herb feverfew taken two or three times a day (Warning: do not take feverfew if you are pregnant).
