I have been reading and posting here for lots of years and all I can say is that a good over all well balanced diet is about as good as a person can do. There are some medicines which change what your body gets from food and B 6 or B 12 or folic acid need to be added to the food we eat. Harv Ps If you have gout,,,, cherries will help.
The link between diet and arthritis has yet to be proven scientifically, but there are certain nutritional recommendations that doctors believe are helpful in the management of symptoms and prevention of further deterioration. According to Dr. Fisher, the Indianapolis orthopaedic surgeon, "Maintaining an ideal bodyweight does your joints a favor." The link between nutrition and arthritis is complex. There is limited evidence that diet can influence some forms of arthritis, but to fully understand this, the type of arthritis and the kind of diet must be considered. A number of substances, including copper, zinc, vitamin B, fish oils, plant seed oils and others have also reportedly helped arthritis patients. Try to gradually switch to low-fat products such as low-fat milk and spread. Always choose leaner cuts of meat and try to substitute junk food with fruit and nuts. to know more about How Far is diet linked with Arthritis? you can see http://www.womenfitness.net/arthritis1.htm lisa
Any foods that are rich in flavanoids helps. Green Tea, onions, soy and red wine. -- Sent via Health Newsgroups http://www.healthnewsgroups.com
Anything that contains resveratrol .. Inflamm Res. 2005 Apr;54(4):158-62. Related Articles, Links Effect of resveratrol in experimental osteoarthritis in rabbits. Elmali N, Esenkaya I, Harma A, Ertem K, Turkoz Y, Mizrak B. Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Inonu University Medical Faculty, 44069, Malatya, Turkey. nelmali@hotmail.com OBJECTIVE: Resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) is a phytoalexin found in high concentration in the skins of grapes and red wines which has been shown to have antiinflammatory, anticancerogen and antioxidant properties. Resveratrol is a potent and specific inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). Resveratrol also inhibits COX-2 gene expression and enzyme activity. We aimed to determine the in vivo effects of intra-articular injections of resveratrol on cartilage and synovium in an experimental osteoarthritis (OA) model in rabbits. METHODS: As OA model, rabbits underwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT). Five weeks after test group was injected with 10 microMol/kg resveratrol in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) in the knees once daily for two weeks and as the control group at the same time DMSO was injected into the knees. All rabbits were killed one week after the last injection. Cartilage tissue and synovium were evaluated with a histological scoring system. RESULTS: Histological evaluation of cartilage tissue by H&E staining revealed a significantly reduced average cartilage tissue destruction score of 1.7 in the resveratrol group versus 2.8 in the control group (p = 0.016). Loss of matrix proteoglycan content in cartilage was also much lower, as determined by safranin O staining. Scores of synovial inflammation didn't show difference between groups (1.3 vs 2.2; p = 0.057). CONCLUSION: A characteristic parameter in arthritis is the progressive loss of articular cartilage. This study suggests that intraarticular injections of resveratrol starting at the onset of disease may protect cartilage against the development of experimentally induced OA.
