People often ask me what they should do first. In today’s article, I’ll try to answer that by listing three foods essential to begin healing your arthritis.<\/p>\n
1) Omega 3 fatty acids<\/strong> – is one of the most important groups of nutrients to load up on if you have arthritis. Repeated studies have proven that a diet high in Omega 3 drastically reduces arthritis flares. But just as important as loading up on Omega 3 is to avoid Omega 6. Not because omega 6 is bad, but because most of us get too much of it compared to Omega 3, making an imbalance between the two fatty acids.<\/p>\n Fish, especially wild salmon, is the best source of Omega 3. Flaxseed is another good source. But consuming other fats that have a pretty neutral balance such as olive oil and coconut oil is also good.<\/p>\n 2) Vitamin D<\/strong> – is another essential nutrient to fight inflammation. Most people suffering arthritis are vitamin D-deficient. You may want to ask your doctor to test your vitamin D level. Remember that just a passing grade on that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean optimum levels are present.<\/p>\n Again, fish is one of the best food sources of vitamin D. The most effective way to load up on vitamin D is through sunshine. Twenty-five minutes on 25% body exposure to sunlight every day should give you enough vitamin D. When your skin begins to take the first reddish tone, no more vitamin D is can be absorbed, so no use staying in the sun any longer.<\/p>\n 3) Colorful fruits and vegetables<\/strong> – have the strongest antioxidant abilities, and are therefore anti-inflammatory as well.<\/p>\n Blueberries, cherries, grapes, pepper,s and many other fruits and vegetables are loaded with these secret weapons that fight inflammation. You should, therefore, load your dish to the top with these powerful foods.<\/p>\n
