Experts have focused their efforts on discovering the connection of foods and spices with the alleviation of pain caused by rheumatism and arthritis. According to them, fruits, vegetables and whole grains are naturally able to fight inflammation and maintain body weight.

Being overweight is problematic for the joints, according to information from AgroWeb.org. For every 500 grams lost, the weight of the knee is relieved as if you had lost 2 kilograms.

Foods that relieve arthritis pain

While there is no specific food that can be described as a magic pain reliever, a healthy eating regimen makes a difference in the body.

Broccoli and cabbage

These vegetables are useful in slowing down the progress of the disease. They are rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals that are good for joints and relieve pain.

Fish
Salmon, tuna, trout and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that fight inflammation. Fish should be eaten two or three times a week. Otherwise, you should take omega-3 supplements.

Garlic

Garlic, onions and leeks contain compounds that fight a number of diseases, including arthritis. According to AgroWeb.org data, these ingredients significantly limit the activity of enzymes that damage the joints.

Vitamin C

Antioxidants in vitamin C slow the progression of the disease, experts say. Studies show that people who take supplements of this important vitamin are 11 percent less at risk of arthritis and related diseases.

In addition to supplements, you can get vitamin C from many different fruits and vegetables. This includes strawberries, kiwi, pineapple or melon. However, according to information from AgroWeb.org, caution is recommended in the consumption of supplements.

Concerns are mainly focused on their dosage. Experts say that one should not take high doses of supplements.

Doses should not be higher than 65 or 85 milligrams, because if you take higher doses of this vitamin, you are more at risk of kidney stones./ AgroWeb.org
