STOP NOW! 15 Most Dangerous Foods for Arthritis You Must Avoid || HealthQuest

15 Most Dangerous Foods for Arthritis That You Often Overlook. When managing arthritis, certain commonly overlooked foods could be aggravating your symptoms of joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. More than 54 million Americans suffer from arthritis, the leading cause of disability in the U.S. If you or someone you know is affected, it's crucial to understand the potential dietary culprits. Avoiding foods rich in purines, nightshades, added sugars, high salt, and inflammatory fats can help manage symptoms, improve overall health, and enhance quality of life.
Firstly, steer clear of added sugars found in sweets and sodas, as they exacerbate inflammation and can lead to weight gain, stressing your joints. Gluten, prevalent in wheat, barley, and rye, may also worsen arthritis due to its inflammatory effects, particularly for those with celiac disease or autoimmune disorders. Highly processed foods, such as baked goods and fast food, contain refined grains and preservatives that increase inflammation. Red and processed meats, high in saturated fats, raise inflammatory biomarkers and should be replaced with plant-based proteins or lean meats.
Fatty foods, especially those high in omega-6 fatty acids found in vegetable oils, can worsen arthritis symptoms. Instead, opt for omega-3-rich foods like fish. Alcohol consumption is linked to increased arthritis symptoms and should be minimized. Salty foods contribute to water retention and inflammation, worsening arthritis symptoms.
Nightshades like tomatoes and potatoes, although controversial, may trigger inflammation in some individuals, so consider monitoring their effects on your symptoms. Dairy products, due to the casein protein, can cause inflammation in sensitive individuals; low-fat options might be less problematic. Foods high in advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), such as fried or broiled meats, contribute to oxidative stress and should be avoided.
Sugary drinks, particularly sodas, can raise uric acid levels, aggravating gout and arthritis. The relationship between coffee and arthritis is complex; while it contains antioxidants, high intake might increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Canned and fried foods, laden with preservatives, salt, and unhealthy fats, should be replaced with fresh, home-cooked meals to reduce inflammation. Refined carbohydrates, found in white bread and sweets, spike blood sugar and may increase arthritis risk, so opt for whole grains instead. Lastly, high-purine foods like red meat and certain shellfish can lead to gout flare-ups and should be limited.
Incorporating beneficial herbs like turmeric, ginger, and Boswellia into your diet can also help manage arthritis. Turmeric, with its anti-inflammatory curcumin, and ginger, known for reducing pain and stiffness, are excellent additions. Boswellia, or Indian frankincense, has shown promise in reducing inflammation and joint pain.

Salt will make you thirsty. Then what happens? YOU REMEMBER?

[truthsetfree-]

too much info...truth is we live and then die, live sound by being moderate in all things. if you can, banish fear and increase acceptance of things and situations you cannot change/control

[carolynking]

Honestly. Does anyone REALLY listen to

[anthonyraymondarmentia]

If your poor do you select what you eat

[DIAMONDGIRL]

😂😂😂😂😂 Red meat is important to include in your diet however . . . With anything . . . Moderation is key. I would eliminate seed oils and sugar. In cream fish and grassfed beef.

[toni]

Why do you insist on someone limiting their salt intake to 2 grams? Don't you think that might depend on their location and type of work they're doing. If they're five years old or forty and a bricklayer in Australia?

[toni]

Someone should force this program off line. Its a list of lies. So much of what's being said is forty years out of date. Will send more people to their doctor thinking they need to go on medication for high cholesterol. I've never been so disgusted.
