Foods that exacerbate arthritis

A new British study revealed that common daily foods exacerbate arthritis.

And the newspaper "Daily Express", quoting a British health expert, Fran McLouen, said: "There are some foods that can exacerbate the condition of arthritis, and it is necessary to reduce them as much as possible."

And “Sputnik” agency quoted an occupational health expert at the British Ministry of Health that there are more than 100 types of arthritis and that there is currently no treatment for them.

She explained that the available treatments help slow the disease or reduce pain, stressing the need to reduce foods, which can significantly exacerbate the condition of arthritis.

These foods include sugar, gluten, dairy products, soybeans, seed oils, artificial sweeteners, food preservatives and other additives, according to McLean.

"If there is one thing I would advise sufferers to avoid more than others, it is sugar and all highly processed carbohydrates," she said, adding that those foods cause a sharp rise in blood sugar, which leads to a chain reaction, which causes some inflammatory diseases, including arthritis. .

Although there are certain foods that are good to avoid, the American Medical Center "Cleveland Clinic" stresses that: "Food is medicine. If you suffer from arthritis pain, eating foods that contain antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties - along with analgesic properties - may help." Combine with any other medications or treatments your doctor recommends.

The study indicated that rheumatoid arthritis often begins when a person is between 40 and 50 years old, and women are three times more likely to develop it, noting that some other habits and lifestyle changes may help control symptoms.

British medical statistics indicated that osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis in the United Kingdom, affecting about eight million people, while rheumatoid arthritis affects more than 400,000 people.
