Patients often ask me if there is anything they need to pay attention to in terms of diet when they have arthritis. I read a foreign article and translated it for you. In fact, there are really some foods that are good for the prevention and treatment of arthritis, so here are some examples for you.
1. Fish
Some fish are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, and experts recommend eating fish at least two times a week, about two taels at a time. Some fish contain a large amount of Omega 3, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel and herring.
2, soy products
If you do not like to eat fish, then you should eat more soy products, such as tofu or soy milk. Soy contains a lot of protein, fiber and Omega3, while the fat content is very low.
3.Some vegetable oils
Olive oil is rich in health benefits of fatty acids and stimulating aldehydes. Stimulants are similar in composition to non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs. Olive oil is not the only healthy cooking oil, avocado oil and safflower oil both have a lipid-lowering effect. The content of omega3s in walnut oil is 10 times more than olive oil.
4, berry fruit
Studies have shown that berry fruits can reduce the frequency of gout attacks. These fruits contain anthocyanin also has an anti-inflammatory effect. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries all contain anthocyanins.
5, low-fat food
Some low-fat foods, such as milk, yogurt and cheese are rich in calcium and vitamin D. Vitamin D not only promotes the absorption of calcium, but also strengthens the immune system. If you do not like to eat these, you can also eat more leafy greens rich in calcium and vitamin D.
6.Cauliflower
Containing high levels of vitamin K and C, cauliflower also contains a substance called lycopene, which researchers have found can prevent the onset of arthritis and also slow the progression of arthritis.
7, green tea
Green tea contains polyphenols, these antioxidants can reduce the inflammatory response and slow down cartilage damage. Studies have shown that green tea contains an antioxidant substance called EGCG, which can block harmful proteins in rheumatoid arthritis.
8, citrus
Citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapes and limes, contain vitamin C. Studies have shown that proper vitamin intake is important to prevent inflammatory reactions and keep joints healthy.
9. Cereals
Cereals can reduce blood levels of C-reactive protein, a major inflammatory factor in heart disease, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Oats, brown rice and whole wheat cereals, these are good foods to get cereals.
10, beans
Beans contain a lot of fiber, fiber can reduce the level of C-reactive protein. Beans are also the main source of protein that makes up muscle. Some beans contain folic acid, magnesium, iron, zinc and potassium, which are good for the heart and immune system. Red beans, fava beans and flower beans.
11, onion and garlic
Studies have shown that people who like to eat onions and garlic, such as garlic, onions and leeks, are less likely to have symptoms of arthritis. Enzymes that break down cartilage exist in human cells, and the diallyl disulfide in garlic can limit the action of these enzymes.
