Things worth knowing about "Osteoarthritis nutrition"
The right diet for osteoarthritis can help to reduce inflammation, support joint health and slow down cartilage degradation.
The right diet for osteoarthritis can help reduce inflammation, support joint health and slow down cartilage degradation. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which cartilage deterioration leads to pain, stiffness and restricted movement. Certain foods can have an anti-inflammatory effect and provide the joints with important nutrients.
Omega-3 fatty acids from fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring as well as from plant sources such as linseed, walnuts and chia seeds have an anti-inflammatory effect and support joint function. Antioxidants such as vitamin C, polyphenols and carotenoids from berries, citrus fruits, spinach and turmeric help to reduce oxidative damage to the joints. Collagen-rich foods such as bone broth or gelatine can help build cartilage, while sulphur-rich vegetables such as garlic, onions and cabbage promote a healthy collagen structure.
A diet low in sugar, trans fats and highly processed foods can help reduce chronic inflammation. Refined carbohydrates and too much red meat can promote inflammatory processes and should therefore only be consumed in moderation. Micronutrients such as vitamin D, magnesium and zinc also play an important role in joint health. Lactoferrin is being researched for its anti-inflammatory properties and could play a supportive role in the diet for osteoarthritis.
In addition to a balanced diet, regular exercise, a healthy body weight and targeted dietary supplements are helpful in maintaining long-term joint health and alleviating the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
