Osteoarthritis has traditionally been understood as a condition of age-related or weight-related joint wear and tear.<\/p>\nOsteoarthritis has traditionally been understood as a condition of age-related or weight-related joint wear and tear.<\/p>\n
But a new a new study from Madrid in Spain and published in the journal Arthritis Research and Therapy<\/em> reveals another factor. One that\u2019s very easy to control.<\/p>\n And this may lead to a simple cure for arthritis.<\/p>\n They used 36 rabbits of which 20 received a normal diet and 16 a high-fat diet.<\/p>\n They then induced osteoarthritis in 20 rabbits, 10 from each dietary group.<\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, the rabbits fed the high-fat diet had high cholesterol, fat (triglycerides), and C-reactive protein, an indication of high inflammation. This was absent from the rabbits on the normal diet.<\/p>\n 12 weeks after inducing the arthritis, they compared the joints of the four groups.<\/p>\n Compared with the normal dieters with arthritis, the arthritic high-fat dieters had much higher inflammation in the connective tissue in their joints called Synovial Membranes and had a lot less connective tissue in their joints.<\/p>\n This is also the case for the high-fat dieters without arthritis compared with their non-arthritic peers on normal diets.<\/p>\n This seems to suggest that high-fat dieting and high cholesterol puts rabbits, at least, at risk of osteoarthritis and that it worsens osteoarthritis that is already present.<\/p>\n If this is also the case for humans, it suggests that you can reduce your risk of this painful disease or moderate its symptoms by modifying your diet.<\/p>\n High cholesterol is not the only cause of arthritis but this new study proves that diet and lifestyle changes can indeed affect, even cure, arthritis. And that\u2019s exactly what I did using the 3 simple steps found here\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
