Health Focus - July 2008

For more youthful knee joints

July 5th 2008 22:40
Knee joints foods



For more youthful knee joints -- or anything that bends -- consider what’s in your kitchen.

These six foods could be your best medicine: berries, ginger, avocado, flaxseeds, omega-3-rich fish, and soy. Research shows they help stifle joint-damaging inflammation, according to John La Puma, MD, author of ChefMD: The Big Book of Culinary Medicine.


On Your Menu
Try this joint-friendly daily meal plan: whole-grain cereal or oatmeal with berries for breakfast, a turkey and avocado sandwich or a soy burger for lunch, a handful of walnuts or flaxseeds for a snack, and wild salmon or tilapia for dinner.


# Make a fruit bowl . . . with orange and grapefruit chunks. Vitamin C can thwart cartilage loss and slow osteoarthritis progression.

# Sip tea. It’s chock-full of anti-inflammatory compounds. ( green tea may be especially good.)

# Nix red meat, and skip the sugary and starchy stuff. Proinflammatory substances in these foods -- like saturated fats in red meat -- could spur joint pain or make it worse.

You mean you live in your knees, and I thought you lived in your head.

Without healthy knees, no body walks easily . . . even in their minds eye.

katyzz, what about the uric acid content of our diet? I think we should also monitor such since we already have a weak and defective joint, then we increase uricemia, we might as well worsen integrity of the joint.

Wilson, the trick for pain control is to take medication regularly throughout the day, not just when you experience the pain, there is an Arthritis website which you may find useful, plus i'll keep my eyes open for some other articles, videos for you.

Good to see you.
