Do away with refined and partial foods: white flour and white sugar – get them out of your diet.
Eat a diet composed mainly of: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, beans, nuts, seed, lean meat and fish.
Take dairy out of your diet and see if that helps. If not, try eliminating meat - Especially red meat.
Some people with arthritis do well be eliminating allergenic foods which include; dairy, wheat and corn.
Avoid the foods from the nightshade family: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and potatoes.
The herb Ginger has been known to help some people.
Consume foods containing the amino acid histidine, which includes; brown rice, wheat and rye. (if wheat isn’t a problem)
Be sure and take a good calcium/magnesium supplement. Very important for the health of the bones and ligaments.
Include the essential fatty acids; wheat germ oil, sesame seed oil, flax oil. The good oils will lubricate the joints and ligaments and promote healing.
Get plenty of sunshine. Exposure to the sun prompts the synthesis of vitamin D, which is needed for proper bone formation.
If you are overweight, lose the extra pounds. Easier said than done, I know : ) but an overweight condition can cause and aggravate arthritis.
Glucosamine Sulfate is one of the most talked about natural remedies for arthritis. A Swiss study found it was as effective in decreasing stiffness and pain as ibuprofen, but without the side effects.
