Arthritis

Did you know Arthritis is one of the most common health problems in America? 

It can range from a mild stiffness to a completely debilitating condition. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions your joints breaks down. Pain is caused when joints rub against each other. Whether you’re struggling with arthritis or you want to prevent it, here are some things to consider. First, be mindful of your diet.

A healthy diet with anti-inflammatory vegetables like onions and garlic could really be useful. Plenty of monounsaturated fats like olive oil, and omega-3 fats like fish oil can also help with the inflammation. Supplements that have been used successfully are glucosamine and chondroitin. Chondroitin is the main component of cartilage, so supplementing with it seems logical.

Glucosamine works along with chondroitin to help alleviate pain. A sulfur supplement called MSM also works very well with this combo. MSM helps the body utilize nutrients better, and can also help with flexibility.

Do some research and find ways to fight arthritis.
