Arthritis sufferers number in the millions, so anything that helps them reduce the pain of this debilitating condition is always welcome.
A recent study from Sweden may now have found something that does that.
Researchers found a commonly available oil to be the key to stopping existing arthritis and even preventing it from getting started in the first place.
Dr. Daniela Di Giuseppe, the lead author on the study from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, claims that simple fish oil can make all the difference when it comes to combating rheumatoid arthritis.
The study followed subjects for more than a decade, and over that time it was found that the habit that correlated most with a lower likelihood of developing RA was high consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids.
Simply put, those who ate the most fish had the lowest incidences of RA and other inflammatory process diseases.
Dr Di Giuseppe described this as the “protective effect” of Omega 3s on bodily tissues. It’s long been thought that Omega 3 fatty acids play a major role in joint health and the inflammation process, but this is the first time that conclusive proof of a connection has been found.
It’s nice to hear about this study because Omega 3 has long been a part of our plan, the same one that’s already helped thousands of people to beat arthritis without resorting to the unpleasantness and expense of medications.
