Rheumatoid Arthritis is a disease where your immune system attacks your joints. This can cause severe pain, stiffness and swelling in many of the joints of your body. You may have heard that changing your diet can help ease some of these symptoms.
Many studies have shown that by eliminating certain foods from your diet, you can dramatically reduce the symptoms caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis. Called an Elimination Diet, by removing certain foods from your plate, and gradually re-entering them into your diet, you can see which foods are accentuating the pain and stiffness you are feeling. Removing foods that are high in saturated fat are the most common foods to eliminate. These saturated fats are commonly found in bacon, steak, butter and cream. These foods increase the amount of inflammation chemicals called prostaglandins in your body. Prostaglandins have been shown to cause the pain and inflammation associated with RA. Studies have also shown that meats contain arachidonic acids, which can convert into inflammatory prostaglandins throughout your body. Many people who have switched to a vegetarian diet have shown dramatic decreases in their Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms however there are others who haven’t seen any differences at all. Omega-6 fatty acids, which are found in vegetable oils, contain linoleic acid. An average western diet consists of more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids which are found in cold-water fish.
By removing the foods that contain prostaglandins, arachidonic acids and omega-6 fatty acids, and switching to a diet that includes more fish, nuts, flaxseed, flaxseed oil, and canola oil, you can reduce the amount of inflammation caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis. Even taking Omega-3 fatty acid supplements, many sufferers of RA have noticed a decrease in joint pain and inflammation.
It has been known that people living in Greece and Italy have a lower risk of getting severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. By following their Mediterranean diet, which includes fruits, vegetables and Vitamin C, you can also relieve your symptoms dramatically.
People who take Methotrexate have found that adding folic acid to their diets eased many of the side effects from taking the medication. Another supplement that has been found to help is Selenium. Because people with Rheumatoid Arthritis have a lower amount of selenium in their systems, eating a can of tuna fish a day can put those levels back to normal. Also, if you are currently taking Prednisone, you know that there is a side effect of losing bone. Taking a calcium or Vitamin D supplement can resolve this problem as well. Talk to your doctor to find out how much you need to take to counteract the bone loss.
Another study has shown that by drinking alcohol in moderation and weight loss can also lower your chance of getting Rheumatoid Arthritis. Do not drink alcohol, however, if you are currently taking methotrexate, as this can cause severe liver damage. Losing weight is very important for your joint health as well. Being overweight can add to the strain you put on your knees, hips and other joints, not to mention the added strain on your heart.
