Anti-inflammatory foods

Arthritis is inflammation of the joints due to various causes. A typical symptom is joint pain. However, not all joint pain can be called arthritis.

What can you do to prevent this type of arthritis? Experts say, "Eating foods that fight inflammation is one of the best ways to do it." 

Let's find out which foods are good for improving arthritis symptoms.

Foods rich in antioxidants such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, carrots and berries.

Powerful antioxidants called flavonoids and carotenoids give the color of fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants are important components of foods that fight inflammation. 

Fruits and vegetables high in these antioxidants include berries, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, oranges, broccoli, and melons. Blueberries, in particular, contain many antioxidants.

Supplements like the Codeco Aronia capsules that are 100% organic are also a good source of antioxidants!

Whole grains rich in selenium.

Grains that have only the hulls removed without refining are called whole grains. According to the study, people who ate a lot of whole grains such as oatmeal, brown rice and barley had significantly lower levels of C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation in the body.

Whole grain pasta and bread are high in selenium, an antioxidant that fights inflammation. Studies have shown that eating whole grains can help maintain a healthy weight, reducing the strain on the joints. 

Fish rich in Omega -3 fatty acid such as mackerel, anchovies, herring, and salmon.

Arthritis patients have high levels of a protein factor called cytokine, which increases inflammation. However, the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish inhibit cytokines and other inflammatory compounds. Omega-3 fatty acids also help reduce bad cholesterol ( LDL ) and triglycerides.

LDL and triglycerides are factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by increasing inflammation in the body. All fish contain omega -3 fatty acids, but blue fish such as mackerel, herring, sardines and anchovies are particularly high in omega-3 fatty acids. 

You may also get your daily dose of Omega-3 fatty acids from supplements such as Schweitzz Omagen Gold.
