Can Diet Reduce Arthritis Symptoms?

Author:Steve

Did you know that some foods have anti-inflammatory properties and can be used to reduce inflammation from chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis? Sardines, olive oil, and oranges are a few foods that have anti-inflammatory properties. Here’s a list of some other anti-inflammatory foods that you may want to target:

Omega-3s decrease inflammation by suppressing the production of cytokines and enzymes that damage cartilage. Sources of Omega 3: sardines, rainbow trout, salmon, herring, mackerel (not king), anchovies, Pacific oysters, omega-3 fortified eggs, flaxseed, and walnuts.

Antioxidants: Some studies suggest that certain antioxidant help prevent arthritis, slow its progression, and reduce pain. Olive oil contains antioxidants called polyphenols which fight inflammation. Vitamin C contributes to collagen health, one components of cartilage. Vitamin C is found in citrus, kale, brussel sprounts, kidney beans, white potato with skin, mustard greens, mangoes, red cabbage, cauliflower, sweet peppers, guava, and cantaloupe.

Antioxidants called cartenoids may reduce the risk of inflammatory disease. Cartenoids are in fruits and vegetables and include beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, Cartenoids are found in sweet potato, carrots, kale, butternut squash, turnip greens, pumpkin, mustard greens, cantaloupe, sweet red pepper, apricots, winter squash, pumpkin, persimmons, papaya, tangerines, red peppers, corn, oranges, apricots and spinach.

The bioflavinoids quercetin and anthocyanidins are also antioxidants. Quercetin was shown to have effects similar to nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin and ibuprofin) by reducing the inflammatory effects of inflammatory chemicals called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Quercetin is found in leeks, cherry tomatoes,  broccoli, red/yellow/white onions, kale, blueberries, black currants, elderberries, lingonberries, cocoa powder, apples with skin (*Red Delicious), and  broccoli.

Anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins inhibit production of inflammatory chemicals like cytokines and prostaglandins. Foods containing anthocyanidins include red and black grapes, strawberries, cherries, blackberries, raspberries, black currants, blueberries, eggplant, elderberries, boysenberries,  and plums.

Selenium: Low levels of selenium are associated with both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Severe arthritis has been associated with low selenium levels. Sources for selenium are whole grains, brazil nuts, cod, shrimp, tilapia, oysters, tuna, and crab.

Spices: Ginger and turmeric have anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger is also a blood-thinner, so talk to your doctor if you are taking a prescription blood-thinner.
