I love a good deal. So when a friend pointed out how a popular “heart health diet” was almost designed to heal arthritis, I screamed out:
Two For ONE Sale!
And the best thing is, this diet is simple and the directions are free. So you could say two for one + 100% discount.
The popular DASH diet was designed to lower blood pressure and improve overall heart health. But it’s also great if you have arthritis.
The DASH diet is high in unprocessed fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts/beans/seeds, lean meats, poultry and fish. It focuses on heart-healthy fats high in Omega-3 fatty acids and is low in saturated and trans- fats. Sweets are usually limited in addition to salt and overall calories.
Now, let’s look at this step by step:
1) Unprocessed food. For arthritis, everything should be focused on not triggering inflammation. The worst thing for inflammation is highly processed food, high in salt, Omega-6 fats and all kinds of chemicals.
2) Fruits and Vegetables – are loaded with antioxidants that fight inflammation. Your plate should, therefore, be loaded with fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. Many arthritis drugs also rob your body of nutrients. Fruits and vegetables reload your system after the robbery.
3) Fish – is high in Omega-3 fatty acids and low in Omega-6. That’s exactly the balance you need to fight inflammation. Other heart-healthy and inflammation-fighting oils include flaxseed, olive oil, and coconut oil.
4) Sugar feeds inflammation. So does over-eating and overloading your body with calories. So for your heart and joints, limit sugar and calories.
5) Salt – especially refined salt, has been proven in several studies to worsen arthritis. We don’t know for sure why, but limiting salt is beneficial for arthritis. Opt for high-quality sea salt or Himalayan salt.
The bottom line is that you can cure arthritis naturally. All it takes is a few, easy lifestyle changes. I did it, thousands of readers have done, it and so can you.

The biggest change for me is eliminating grains containing gluten and all dairy except clarified butter. I am virtually free of arthritis pain. That's pretty good for a guy close to 80!
Very informative and will be adopting some of these changes.
