Is There an Arthritis Diet?

There are many types of arthritis, and there is typically no “diet” which an arthritis patient can be placed on. While diabetics are given much information on the foods they should eat, the foods they should avoid and portion size, arthritis patients do not have an arthritis diet to lean on.

Many assume the food an arthritis patient consumes does not have an effect on their health. Yet, the food anyone eats plays an important role in the health of their body and their ability to fight off illness. Everyone should eat a nutritious, well balanced diet for optimal health. One thing we do know is that an arthritis diet should be low in fat. This is especially important for an arthritis patient who is overweight. Excessive weight can stress the joints and inflict damage on an already afflicted area of the body.

An arthritis diet should generally consist of a variety of foods, including whole grains, vegetables and fruits. Foods that are high in sugar, salt and saturated fat should be consumed in moderation. No one wants to add diabetes and heart disease to their list of ailments.

Arthritis patients may want to consider adding a dietary supplement to their diet. Osteoporosis sometimes follows a diagnosis of arthritis. An arthritis diet can include a supplement of both calcium and Vitamin D. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids and zinc and selenium may also be a great addition to the arthritis diet. These have all been shown to reduce inflammation.

Supplements are also important to the arthritis patient because certain arthritis medications may make it difficult to eat. If you have a side effect to your medication and you have lost your appetite, you should try to still eat as much as possible and supplement your diet with vitamins.

You should also look into the various supplements which are on the market which boost the immune system. Some forms of arthritis are brought about by a disorder in the immune system. You should do everything within your power to stabilize your system.

While there is no arthritis diet, what you consume does play a role in your health. If you have questions, you can always talk with a nutrionalist to discuss a diet for you.
