Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Osteoarthritis Nutrition TipsStiffness, pain and swelling of joints are common symptoms of osteoarthritis. Besides regular physical activity (low-impact is the best) and maintaining a healthy weight, consider these nutritional adaptations to help prevent or lessens symptoms. Eat foods rich in antioxidants. Fruits and vegetables are good sources, and may help reduce tissue damage from inflammation. Get enough omega-3s. Oily fish such as wild Alaskan salmon, walnuts, freshly ground flaxseed or a good omega-3 supplement may help reduce the inflammation and pain of arthritis. Regularly use ginger and turmeric for their natural anti-inflammatory properties.

Don't take things too seriously - live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. -Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
