In the human body, bones move in different projections and relative to each other solely thanks to the joints. But the functionality of the latter decreases under the influence of time and in cases of the development of inflammatory and degenerative processes. Moreover, people begin to worry about pain during movement and even at rest. And all because the joints at some point, for one reason or another, begin to experience a deficiency of useful components.
At the initial stage of joint disease, the situation can still be improved by adjusting your own diet. After all, any therapist will tell you a list of foods that are useful for joint problems, as well as a list of harmful foods for this case.
So, do you want to have healthy joints as long as possible or restore their health at the beginning of the development of pathological processes? Then exclude (or at least limit) from your menu:
1. Saturated fat
They are found in large quantities in red meats, cheeses, butter. And when these products and / or dishes with their participation are present in a constant diet:
- inflammatory processes develop in the joints (and in other tissues, by the way, too);
- the functionality of the heart decreases;
- type II diabetes mellitus develops (especially in those who are predisposed to this disease).
Fried meat is very harmful to the joints, because after processing on charcoal or deep-fried, its glycemic index sharply increases.
2. Omega-6 acids
Despite the fact that such acids are useful for maintaining normal all body functions, it is they that have a detrimental effect on the joints with a large amount in the composition of certain products. Therefore, you should reduce the consumption of soybean, corn and sunflower oils, where such acids a lot, but it is better to replace them with olive or rapeseed oils, in which these elements are practically absent.
Important:in order not to risk the health of the joints, it is better to completely abandon margarine, which, in addition to everything else, also contains the most harmful trans fats.
3. Alcohol
Alcohol in moderation is not contraindicated in people with a predisposition to rheumatoid arthritis. And yet, in order to prevent the disease, it is better to replace alcohol with kvass or kefir. After all, alcohol abuse provokes the destruction of joints at the cellular level. With progressive rheumatoid arthritis, those who cannot live without alcohol begin to experience severe pain when moving, as well as aching bones.
Remember:joints are the basis of the mobility of the human body! They provide the smoothness of bone sliding, prevent friction, as well as destruction. And you should be very sensitive to their health. So, in addition to the above products, you should also limit yourself in salt and sugar, which also harm the joint tissues. And then the joints will not give slack, but will serve faithfully for many, many years.
