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?

I had ACL reconstruction when I was 17.

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?
