Yesterday I got a question about arthritis and fish oil. The person wanted to know what supplements to take and what foods to eat to ease her arthritis.
Stay away from fast foods and processed foods. Try to stick to vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fresh fruits, and some dairy. You want foods as close to their natural state as possible.
At the grocery store, stick to these 3 sections: Meat/seafood/poultry, vegetable, and fruit. And you don’t have to even touch the packaged products. Let them be.
That’s something to shoot for, but sometimes we all fall short. Sometimes a good deal of processed food finds its way onto the menu.
Keep in mind that the elements that provide real nourishment for your body, like enzymes, vitamins, fatty acids, minerals, amino acids, and other elements, are usually stripped from processed foods.
Inflammation can result from not getting these items in the needed amounts, especially fatty acids.
Long chain omega-3 fatty acids are essential to combating the pain and joint stiffness of inflammation. They do this by helping to block dietary omega-6 fatty acids, which are high in the Western diet.
Spoilage is bad news for manufacturers of most food products, so they do whatever it takes to stop it. Including removing the elements your body truly needs.
It can be tough to eat the right kinds of food. But it’s absolutely vital for your health and longevity.
