(Medical-NewsWire.com, February 27, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- The world is all too aware of to need to choose the right food in order to maintain a healthy weight. Though few realize, diet can be just as vital for combating a variety of other health conditions. For arthritis patients, it is extremely important to find the right foods to safely manage their condition.
Recognizing the call for better education, the Arthritis Foundation is using their website to inform consumers about the importance of eating well. The site contains an actual arthritis diet that sufferers can follow on a daily basis. It also offers information about a myriad of food items that can help improve joint health for arthritis patients.
"Many experts believe that a diet low in saturated fat and processed foods is highly beneficial to those with arthritis," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan. "They are encouraged to eat more fish, vegetables, fruits, beans and nuts."
Studies have revealed that eating healthy food items can significantly help lower blood pressure and protect the body from chronic conditions, such as stroke and cancer. They also have the capacity to curb inflammation, and this is very beneficial for the heart and joints.
One of the most popular food items praised for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties is fish. According to the American Heart Association, as well as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, consuming three to four ounces of fish twice a week can be beneficial to patients. However, there are many arthritis experts who believe that consuming more is even better.
"There are some types of fish that contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids that are believed to fight inflammation," added O'Sullivan.
In a study published by the Journal of Nutrition involving 727 post-menopausal women, it was found that those who consumed the highest amounts of omega-3s had lower levels of two inflammatory proteins, namely the interluken-6 and C-reactive proteinor CRP.
The importance of eating healthy food items should not be taken for granted by arthritis patients. Some experts also suggest that in addition to eating healthy food items, patients may take natural supplements that could significantly help in the reduction of pain and improvement of joint health (http://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI).
