Eating Right For Arthritis
Posted: 01-11-08 08:35am

I have mild arthritis in my knees, but I am only 32. I want to develop a healthy diet and keep joint inflammation down.

What foods should I avoid?
What foods support the joints?
What vitamin supplements can help?

Some scientific evidences show that excessive weight and the type of diet is followed may influence symptoms of certain types of arthritis.
Omega 3 fatty acids are known to reduce the production of inflammatory substances in the body.
Glucosamine is a supplement that enhance cartilage production and reduce arthritic pain.
Chronic dehydration (not drink enough water) can aggravate arthritic pain.

Which type of arthritis you are suffering from?

The most common type of knee arthritis is osteoarthritis (osteoarthritis of the knees is often associated with a history of repeated injury and/or joint surgery).
Rheumatoid Arthritis generally affects both knees.
Post-traumatic arthritis can develop after an injury to the knee, is similar to osteoarthritis and may develop years after a fracture, ligament injury, or meniscus tear.


Do you usually get worse joint pain later in the day?
