People who suffer from arthritis are always looking for ways to relieve their pain. One way to ease or even prevent it is through an arthritis diet. There are some arthritis diets that some people will swear by, but have never been proven to make a difference. There are some diets that make a definite difference according to health experts.

First we’ll take a look at some arthritis diets where there’s little or no evidence that they actually make a difference. One of the most common arthritis diets is to eliminate potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, and most peppers. While the diet won’t do any harm, it hasn’t been proven to affect arthritis at all. Another arthritis diet seeks to reduce the acids in one’s body eliminating sugar, coffee, red meat, most grains, nuts, and citrus fruits.

It’s intended to be followed for just one month. People may feel better because they lose weight which reduces the stress on their joints, but again there is no evidence to support this. It also excludes many sources of vitamin C which is essential in fighting arthritis. Drinking green tea has been shown to reduce the effects of rheumatoid arthritis in mice, but there are no conclusive results on human studies yet. Shark cartilage is supposed to relieve arthritis. Animal and lab studies show promise, but there are no human studies to support this yet.

Not let’s take a look at some arthritis diets that have been shown to work. Switching fats can reduce inflammation. Eating fats found in red meat and poultry have actually been shown to increase inflammation. Switching to cold water fish can help reduce the inflammation. Using corn, safflower, and sunflower oils also helps.

Another arthritis diet is the ASU (avocado-soybean unsaponifiable). It has been shown to relieve osteoarthritis, stimulate cartilage repair, and lessen a patient’s need to NSAIDs to control pain. Ginger has been shown to ease pain and inflammation as well as protect the stomach from gastrointestinal effects from taking NSAIDs. Glucosamine is a supplement that relieves pain in some patients with osteoarthritis.

It helps the body rebuild cartilage, but can take up to two months to see the effects. If you are allergic to shellfish, check with your doctor before taking this as it is derived from crab, lobster, or shrimp shells. Before taking any supplements talk with your doctor as some can interfere with or worsen side effects from your medications.

Of course the best arthritis diet is a good old-fashioned well balanced diet. Eat 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables, and go easy on fats and cholesterol. A heart healthy diet is especially important to patients with rheumatoid arthritis as studies have shown a link between this disease and heart failure.

Vitamin C is good for repairing body tissue. Vitamin D helps absorb calcium, build bone mass, and prevents bone loss. Calcium helps strengthen your bones. If you are on medication, ask your doctor if he/she recommends taking vitamins.

Some medications can create vitamin or mineral deficiencies. When choosing your arthritis diet, be sure to talk with your physician as different types of arthritis have different needs.

The modern diet is a far cry from the foods that humans have consumed for two million years. Before humans took up agriculture 10,000 years ago, they were primarily hunter gatherers, with dietary needs met primarily by fruits, vegetables, roots, nuts, seeds, legumes, fish, and wild game.

Scientists believe our ancestors ate about three times the amount of fruits and vegetables we do, generally consumed within hours of being gathered, usually raw, with little or no processing. It is likely, therefore, that our ancestors had intakes of vitamins and minerals that exceeded the current RDAs (1.5 to 5 times higher), although they were by no means megadoses.

They also ate five times more fiber than we do. In many respects, the ancestral diet resembles the American Heart Association’s dietary recommendations, the traditional
Mediterranean and East Asian diets, and semivegetarian eating practices.

Our ancestors did not live long, but it was infection and accidents—not degenerative disease—that killed them. Now,that goes to show that just maybe our Doctors are not telling us what,s best for us.

SUPPLEMENTS: “NUTRITIONAL INSURANCE” WHEN THE DIET IS POOR
Nutrient density and nutrient diversity are two sides of the same coin. Research indicates that the reality of the daily diet is that you cannot get all the nutrients you need for optimal health and vitality from foods alone.

The next step will likely be government recommendations to consume both healthy foods and supplements. Don’t wait for new government recommendations to take charge of your health today!

Begin making better food choices. And to be certain the inevitable nutrient “gaps” won’t threaten you, make Nutritional Supplements a part of your daily diet.

Omega-3 fatty acids have long been associated with promoting joint health, and a recent study from Cardiff University in Wales confirmed that omega-3s can slow and even reverse the destruction of joint cartilage.

Cartilage is connective tissue that cushions bones and prevents them from grinding against one other, especially in the joints. Omega-3 fatty acids work to protect cartilage by switching off the aggrecan- and collagen-degrading enzymes that break down cartilage. This, in turn, slows down the cartilage destruction process that occurs with arthritis, plus reduces inflammation, thus lessening pain.

One of the most important conclusions from this study is that supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids in early adulthood can prevent the onset of osteoarthritis, and also reduce the harmful symptoms associated with the disease. Fish are by far the richest source of omega-3 fatty acids.

However, if you’re not getting two to three servings of fatty fish per week, then you’re not getting enough of this important nutrient. Scientists recommend an optimal omega-3 intake of 800 to 1,100 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per day, including 300-400 mg of DHA and EPA. The average daily consumption in the U.S. is 50 mg EPA and 80 mg DHA a far cry from the recommended intake. Therefore, supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids is important to your health…

Different omega-3 fatty acids give different heart-health benefits

GNLD offers two excellent omega-3 products: Salmon Oil and Omega III Concentrate. GNLD’s Salmon Oil contains all the omega-3 benefits, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which support joint health and healthy cardiovascular functions.

Omega-3 fatty acids also support important functions of body tissues and organs, notably the heart, blood vessels, brain, nerves, eyes, skin, and joints. Omega III Concentrate also contains both EPA and DHA in balanced quantities, with the added benefits of GNLD’s special lipotropic blend, which delivers lecithin, choline, inositol and methionine to the body. Choline and inositol help keep lipids emulsified in the bloodstream. This, in turn, can reduce chances of heart disease.

An additional plus to each product: all oils are derived from healthy, fresh fish from pristine waters. Only body oils are used, which reduces exposure to substances which may collect in the organs, like herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, and vitamins A and D. GNLD’s Salmon Oil and Omega III Concentrate are your best choices for omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, hands down!

Omega III fatty acids, EPA & DHA, have been shown to support healthy cardiovascular function.* Omega III fatty acids, in particular DHA, are important for visual and neuronal development… CLICK HERE TO ORDER

When we hear the word nutrition, we often think of healthy foods. But healthy foods are really part of the diet. Individual cells can only benefit from good nutrition if the foods in the diet are broken down into building blocks small enough to absorb.

These nutritional building blocks must then be distributed throughout the body, absorbed by cells, and metabolized, with crucial nutrients assimilated into the cellular machinery and waste products eliminated.

In other words, diet is what we eat, but nutrition is what our cells and tissues actually receive.

THE SIX STAGES OF NUTRITION

Nutrients pass through six separate and distinct stages as our body works to support nutrition in each cell. Each of these stages must operate efficiently to attain optimum nutrition for the entire body. Even a slight breakdown in one of the stages could reduce our chances for optimal health… To download our free report- “THE SIX STAGES OF NUTRITION”, CLICK HERE

As scientists continue to suggest optimal nutrient intakes, the gap between ideal and actual intakes will widen. In many cases the Optimal Daily Intake will be several times the current Recommended Dietary Allowance , and the only possible means of attaining these levels will be supplements.In other words, supplementation can give your body what it needs to survive and thrive!

While one person refuses to eat green vegetables, another will prefer foods heavy in fat, and yet another may consume only a very small amount of protein. Our individual metabolism also determines the benefits we derive from food.Age, sex, physical condition, and activity levels directly affect the body’s need for nutrients and its ability to use them.

No two people are alike in their nutritional needs. Members of the same family, eating the same meals, will derive different benefits from the foods served. Our personal tastes dominate much of what we consume.

Many scientists believe that these differences may play a large part in explaining why some people complain of tired and sluggish while others remain vital and active. Certain aspects of your lifestyle can increase nutrient demands.

For instance, physically active people may need more antioxidants than sedentary individuals. So, too, might people who are exposed to pollution on a daily basis, who consume foods laden with fat or chemical additives, or who are under mental stress.

Alcohol, medication, food additives, and water contaminants can also increase the need for certian nutrients. Smokers may benefit from more vitamin C, and coffee drinkers
may want to take more B-vitamins. Dieters, on the other hand, may need more vitamin E, as avoiding fat means missing out on some of the richest sources of this vitamin.

And if they eat products made with “fake fats” such as olestra, they may need to
supplement with vitamins A, D, E, K, and carotenoids, as artificial fats may hinder the body’s utilization of these lipidsoluble nutrients.

Nutritional supplementation has two goals:

1. Providing nutrients in amounts sufficient to prevent or correct deficiency symptoms.

2. Providing nutrients in amounts necessary for supporting optimal health.

Supplementation can go a long way toward filling nutritional gaps created by suboptimal diets and impacting your quality of life. CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE
