Will Fish Oil Help With Arthritis
Over the weekend a question came in regarding fish oil and arthritis, and the person who wrote in wanted to know what foods to eat and what supplements would help with her arthritis problems.
Stay away from fast foods and processed foods. Try to stick to vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fresh fruits, and some dairy. You want foods as close to their natural state as possible.
When you go to the grocery store you should only shop in 3 areas, at most: The area for meat/poultry/seafood, and the vegetable and fruit areas. All the rest of the packaged products can just just sit on the shelf, undisturbed by you.
That's something to shoot for, but sometimes we all fall short. Sometimes a good deal of processed food finds its way onto the menu.
Keep in mind that the elements that provide real nourishment for your body, like enzymes, vitamins, fatty acids, minerals, amino acids, and other elements, are usually stripped from processed foods.
Not getting these vital substances in the right amounts, especially fatty acids, can result in inflammation.
Long chain omega-3 fatty acids are essential to combating the pain and joint stiffness of inflammation. They do this by helping to block dietary omega-6 fatty acids, which are high in the Western diet.
Food manufacturers usually strip out the essential elements you need for a very simple reason. It's called "shelf life." They don't want their product to spoil, so they take these essential elements out to retard spoilage.
It isn't always easy to eat the right kind of food. But these guidelines should provide some help. - 17274
