Can Arthritis Be Helped By Fish Oil
Yesterday I got a question about arthritis and fish oil. The person wanted to know what supplements to take and what foods to eat to ease her arthritis.
I always recommend eating foods as close to their natural state as possible. Whole grains, lean meats, vegetables, fruits, and some dairy are all good. Notice how processed foods didn't make the cut. No fast foods either.
At the grocery store, stick to these 3 sections: Meat/seafood/poultry, vegetable, and fruit. And you don't have to even touch the packaged products. Let them be.
Now that can be unrealistic, although still a good goal. Some processed food will make it's way into your plate at some point. Maybe even quite a bit.
Just keep this in mind. Processed foods have been stripped of essential nutrients, such as minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, fatty acids, and other elements that provide real nourishment for your body.
Inflammation can result from not getting these items in the needed amounts, especially fatty acids.
Long chain omega-3 fatty acids combat the pain and joint stiffness of inflammation and restore the lipid balance the body needs by blocking the omega-6 fatty acids, which actually promote inflammation.
Most food manufacturers care about one thing above all else: Shelf life. Spoilage is bad news for their product so they remove these essential elements to keep it at bay.
Eating the right kind of food isn't always easy. But what I've written about should help. - 17269
