55 Arthritis Meal Recipes to Help Reduce Pain and Discomfort: Natural Meal Remedies for Arthritis That Work By Joe Correa CSN Many advantages of our modern lifestyle are unfortunately strongly related to arthritis. Our life has changed, our habits and our daily routines. We spend most of our days sitting at a work desk. Even in our spare time, we prefer a slice of pizza and a movie night in the comfort of our living room. Although it sounds very relaxing, this lifestyle combined with a poor diet increasingly affects our joints and leads to different disorders. Without even noticing it, the pain slowly begins. One thing we all can do is to eat healthier foods that reduce inflammation and start doing some regular exercise. This is the best treatment but also a great prevention of this painful disease. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis and it's estimated that it affects about 50 million people in the world. The most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects weight-bearing joints like back, hips, and knees. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder which means that our own immune system starts to attack our tissue. It mostly affects fingers, wrists, elbows, and knees. Rheumatoid arthritis is usually symmetrical (appears on both sides of the body). Symptoms vary from time to time. But if not treated, it often becomes progressive resulting in a complete deformation of joints. Arthritis is not something you should treat on your own. A physician will determine what type of arthritis you have and prescribe pain medications. Besides medication, there are two important parts of arthritis treatment: proper nutrition and excerise. Proper nutrition includes reducing inflammatory foods that include bad dietary fats and high amounts of sugary carbs. You might also consider losing any excess weight. This highly contributes to mobility difficulties, which is quite logical. The more weight your joints have to carry, the more effort they make. This book is a perfect start. A collection of extremely healthy recipes will help your body's ability to heal. Keep in mind that your body is fighting a constant battle to save us from all harmful substances and to reduce sickness. The recipes you will find in this book are excellent nutrient boosters that will strengthen your body. They are based on real, organic foods without any additives, highly processed ingredients, and other harmful toxins found on our everyday menu. This book will also give you plenty of healthy fats, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like olive oil and fats found in salmon. Epidemiological evidence shows that a diet rich in these fatty acids is extremely beneficial for skeletal health. Besides omegas, the recipes in this book are rich in another very important nutrient for the bones, calcium. Calcium will help regenerate damaged joints caused by arthritis. This book is a beautiful collection of perfectly healthy and tasty recipes which, when combined with moderate exercise, is the best way to heal your joints and prevent any additional damage. Eat right and exercise every day, that's all it takes to lead the healthy and pain-free life you deserve.
