Arthritis
As many of you know, Arthritis is a diagnosis based on x-ray findings. it is just a degeneration of a joint. Everyone over the age of 35 can probably be diagnosed with arthritis to some extent- so why is it that not everyone has pain? Quite frankly, the fact that you have arthritic joints doesn’t cause pain; In fact if you get rid of the joint pain, the arthritis doesn’t disappear.
This newsletter is dedicated to help people decrease or eliminate the pain that is associated with arthritis. Very often the pain is a result of a lack of nutrients. Here is a list to start with. If you need help making sure that you have enough of these in your diet, I will be glad to help you figure that out.
Our Tips
1) Vitamin D
This vitamin supports the autoimmune system and a lack of it is also associated with chronic pain. This vitamin helps with that absorption of many minerals important to your health
2) Folic Acid (B9)
Foliate can help as an antioxidant similar to Vitamin C and helps preventing hardening of the arteries and heart disease. It also acts as an antidepressant and is attributed to delaying the aging process in humans. it is also been found to help with liver and kidney problems and increase bone strength.
3) Glucosamine
a recent study found that glucosamine may have an impact on pain of RA. This doesn’t affect all people but if you notice a difference, keep taking it.
4) Turmeric
This is a spice that has been widely known as an anti-inflammatory especially in Ayurvedic medicine and that field of study has been around a lot longer than our western medicine.
5) Iron
up to 2/3 of all those who suffer from arthritis pain also have a lack of iron in their body. Active inflammation can cause the body to lower the production of red blood cells.
6) Fish Oil
This is one of the biggest things we use in this office because it is so important in helping so many different things. Inflammation is one of them and be taking fish oil the inflammatory process can be greatly reduced. The quality and type of fish oil is very important. I have seen a lot of people who thought they were using a quality one because of where they got it, and when they switched to one that was good, it made all the difference.
7) Ginger
This root has a number of beneficial effects and one of the most important is anti-inflammatory effects. It’s also very helpful to treat nausea.
8) Cat’s Claw
This anti-inflammatory was the subject of a recent study that showed a significant impact on joint swelling and pain. Choose a brand that is free of Tetra-cyclic oxindole alkaloids
9) Stay away from Echinacea
This cold fighting nutrient can make your pain symptoms worse.
Finally the most important is that your body is often trying to fix these problems but if the nervous system isn’t fully functioning it may not be able to coordinate the processes needed to accomplish that.
