Food to help with your arthritis:

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

Why these foods work. Vitamin D prevents soreness and swelling. Oleocanthal – blocks enzymes causing inflammation.
Food high in omega-3 fatty acids such as fatty fish (herring sardines, salmon), walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, canola oil and soy beans.
Citrus fruits, sweet peppers, broccoli and cauliflower – high vitamin C foods.
Extra virgin olive oil.
Onions and leeks – antioxidents including quercetin.
Brazil nuts – very high in selenium
Tart Cherries – antioxidant anthocyanins.
My own favorite Green Tea very high in antioxidant.
As always please consult a physician before embarking upon a exercise or dietetic program.
