One often hears the comment that certain foods can aggravate the condition of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which, not surprisingly, general uneasiness and confusion in these people when choosing certain foodstuffs, fearing that they unleash a crisis painful.
The truth is that the fear is due to the wide dissemination of unreliable data, magic cures and fad diets that promise to bring about healing but actually deteriorate the condition of the affected.
It also indicates that experts in rheumatology and nutritionists agree that diet can aggravate rheumatoid arthritis only when it is unbalanced and causes weight gain, as this creates extra burden on the joints that they support.
What to eliminate?
No more: the recommended diet for people with the disorder referred to must contain all the essential nutrients in adequate amounts. Indeed, there is no known cause edible one of the many rheumatic diseases known, the only exception would drop, a condition associated with increased uric acid and deposit in the joints, adds the expert. Note that the substance is produced from excessive consumption of red meat, seafood, animal fats, organ meats and anchovies.
Moreover, it is important to prevent or treat obesity in people with rheumatoid arthritis, because increased weight increases the pain of the load-bearing joints of the body like the spine, hips, knees, ankles and feet. To reduce the extra kilos without risks is essential to eat fewer calories (reducing the supply of fats and carbohydrates) and increase their use through physical exercise, what will be done gradually and under medical advice.
Follow the directions given below:
Reduce consumption of fat. These compounds contribute twice as much energy as sugars and proteins, so reducing your intake of calories are significantly decreased. For this it is necessary to avoid the consumption of chocolates, prefer lean meat, if possible replace the red meat of poultry, cooking grilled or steamed, drink skim milk and increase the amount of fruits and vegetables.
Reduce consumption of simple carbohydrates. Table sugar contains "empty calories", i.e. no energy extra nutritional value; hence it is advisable to substitute sweeteners.
Exercise. Lets you burn excess calories in the diet, and those that have been deposited in the body. Also improves the mobility of damaged joints, maintains muscle mass, stimulates bone formation and promotes psychological well-being.
Foods that help
Various experiments and studies in animals have shown that consumption of certain foods exert favorable influence on the inflammatory process in joints. In particular, we discuss those that contain omega 3 fatty acids, which are called essential because our bodies can not manufacture and must obtain them through diet.
Examples of these products are fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon, tuna or sardines, which when ingested in sufficient quantity to help reduce inflammation due to decrease the production of substances that promote it.
However, scientific studies in humans continue because they have not obtained conclusive results. "More research is needed to understand the benefit of such substances on the rheumatic disease, although what is known so far is encouraging," says rheumatologist.
Also discussed the possible benefit of some metals such as iron, copper and zinc in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, but that advantage has been demonstrated. In this sense, it is clear that anemia is frequently present in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases, but sometimes may be due to iron deficiency in the body, most often there is lack of this element, but our body is not able to use it effectively for incorporation into red blood cells.
Although it is still investigating possible links between what we eat and the onset or manifestations of rheumatic diseases, "the best we can do is avoid diet products and" miracle "that claim to cure rheumatic diseases, and has not been proven useful, "says the expert.
It is worth emphasizing that the key is to keep true and balanced diet and maintain ideal weight while reducing fat and sugar, replacing red meat with white, daily intake of fruits, vegetables and foods rich in calcium (preferably skim), and consume adequate amounts of carbohydrates (bread, rice and pasta) and whole grains.
Finally, the patient should not consume foods that may worsen note that manifestations of rheumatic disease you have, and give notice thereof to your doctor.
