Osteoarthritis is a disease that severely affects the joints and gradually leads to the loss of articular cartilage. For this reason, nutrition is an effective tool to prevent it or treat it as a supplement or aid to conventional medical treatments.
Anti-inflammatory foods
Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory disease that causes stiffness and intense joint pain, especially in the hands, hips, knees, back, and neck. A good diet that includes certain foods for daily consumption can be one of the best ways to prevent this disease. To resist the inflammatory processes when the disease has already occurred, we can find some foods that will help improve these painful symptoms.
These are:
Cherries
Research conducted at the Bailor Institute, where experts examined the effects of cherry tablets on some patients with osteoarthritis, found that more than half of the patients showed satisfactory results regarding pain reduction and mobility recovery after taking these tablets for eight weeks.
Broccoli
Researchers at the University of East Anglia determined that this plant contains a substance called sulforaphane, which is a bioactive compound capable of destroying the enzymes that affect the joints and are associated with the onset of osteoarthritis.
Olive oil and basil
These are natural products that can be very useful to combat inflammation. This natural remedy can be prepared very simply, by macerating basil branches in olive oil to create a very effective combination for massaging affected areas. It should be warmed slightly before use, massaging at least twice a day.
This is an ancient natural remedy used externally to treat inflammation caused by different conditions, especially those caused by osteoarthritis.
Salmon, tuna, and herring
Omega-3 fatty acids are abundant in fish such as salmon, tuna, and herring. These fish are quite important for naturally treating osteoarthritis due to their great anti-inflammatory capacity. Recent research has widely demonstrated their ability to reduce pain and improve joint function in patients with osteoarthritis.
It is important not to forget that the best way to control diseases is by doing everything possible to prevent them. For this, it is ideal to maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables and also to try to exercise daily. Simply walking for half an hour every day is more than enough to maintain good health.
