Two For ONE Sale!<\/p>\n
And the best thing is, this diet is simple and the directions are free. So you could say two for one + 100% discount.<\/p>\n
The popular DASH diet was designed to lower blood pressure and improve overall heart health. But it’s also great if you have arthritis.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Now, let’s look at this step by step:<\/p>\n
1) Unprocessed food.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 2) Fruits and Vegetables –<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 3) Fish –<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 4) Sugar<\/strong> feeds inflammation. So does over-eating and overloading your body with calories. So for your heart and joints, limit sugar and calories.<\/p>\n 5) Salt –<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n
