Foods that can relieve arthritis???

Question

Does anyone know what kinds of food can relieve arthritis??

Answer 1

eating foods as close to nature as possible. In other words don't cook fruits and vegetables. If you have a juicer, make fresh vegetable juice and do this several times a day. This is extremely beneficial for arthritis.

I've enclosed a link to a website that has a listing of herbs for arthritis. I think this will help you out a lot.

Answer 2

Which fruits, vegetables, meat, or fish should you eat? There are no absolute rules, but the results of studies and case histories suggest that these foods may be helpful:

Anchovies: Three-and-a-half ounces of anchovies contain almost a gram and a half of omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids help regulate the prostaglandins, which play a role in inflammation and, hence, pain. However, anchovies are extremely high in sodium, so if sodium-sensitivity or water retention is a problem for you, choose a different kind of fish.
Apples: Not only can an apple a day keep the doctor away, but it may also help to hold your arthritis at bay. Apples contain boron, a mineral that appears to reduce the risk of developing osteoarthritis. Moreover, when boron was given to people who already have the disease, it helped relieve pain.
Cantaloupe: This sweet fruit contains large amounts of vitamin C and beta-carotene, the plant form of vitamin A. These two powerful vitamins help to control the oxidative and free-radical damage that may contribute to arthritis.
Chile peppers: Chilies contain capsaicin, which gives the peppers their heat. These vegetables also help block pain by encouraging certain nerve cells to run through their supply of substance P, which they normally use to help transmit pain signals.
Curry: A combination of spices that often includes turmeric, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, and so on, curry contains powerful antioxidants that may help relieve inflammation and reduce pain.
Fish: The omega-3 fatty acids in Norwegian sardines, Atlantic mackerel, sablefish, rainbow trout, striped bass, and other fish may help reduce inflammation and pain.
Garlic: An ancient treatment for tuberculosis, lung problems, and other diseases, garlic also appears to relieve some forms of arthritis pain. Although never tested in large-scale, double-blind studies, garlic has been found helpful in many case reports. These helpful benefits may be due to the fact that garlic contains sulfur, which has been known for many years to help relieve certain arthritis symptoms.
Grapes: These bunches of sweet, bite-sized fruit are good sources of the mineral boron, which is important for strong bones.
Mango: A sweet treat, mangoes are packed with three powerful antioxidants: 90 percent of the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances) for vitamin C, 75 percent of the daily dose of beta-carotene, plus vitamin E.
Nuts: Almonds, peanuts, and hazelnuts are good sources of boron, a mineral that helps keep bones strong and certain arthritis symptoms at bay.
Papaya: Long used as a folk medicine for diarrhea, hay fever, and other problems, a single papaya contains three times the RDA for the antioxidant vitamin C, plus more than half the daily allotment of beta-carotene.
Water: Drinking eight glasses of water per day can help battle gout by flushing uric acid from the body. Eight glasses is also the amount most health experts recommend to keep your body moisturized and healthy.

Answer 3

Beta Carotene (Vitamin A) found in carrots , papayas acts as an antioxidant and neutralizes the free radicals which damage the joints. Vitamins C, B6, E and zinc help in the repair of connective tissues. Vitamin E also prevents muscle wasting and prevents inflammation of the joint. This vitamin is found naturally in wheat germ, tomatoes and nuts. More information on natural remedies for arthritis at http://aches.in/naturalcuresarthritis.html

I find spicy food helps with arthritis, but is hell in my reflux! I am also told that a spoon full of vinegar first thing in the morning helps.

Answer 5

There is no medicine in this world to treat RA.
It doesn't mean there is no treatment. Alternate Systems of Medicine treat it.
Acupuncture has yielded good success.
Our recent research has enabled us to treat this monster with 90% success.
But you want cure/benefit from food. Food can yield benefit but not the cure.
Avoid sour, stale and bakery foods; potato, brinjal, gourds, bread and cold drinks.
Sweet fruits, milk, pure ghee drawn from curds, fresh meat of he goat, non-hybrid cock/hen and their eggs, oils of pulses, green vegs, wheat roti with pure ghee will help you.

Make sure you eat a protein everyday. I've been living with RA and I have noticed that the pain and fatigue are lessened if you do this.
