ARTHRITIS
EAT PLENTY OF
· Salmon, sardines, and other fatty fish to counter inflammation.
· High-fiber, low-calorie foods to help control weight.

AVOID
Any foods that provoke symptoms

About one in suffers from some type of arthritis, any of more than 100 disorders characterized by joint inflammation, stiffness, swelling, and pain. The most common types are osteoarthritis, a painful condition in which joint cartilage gradually breaks down, and rheumatoid arthritis, a systemic disease that can cause severe pain and crippling.
Doctors do not understand why some individuals develop arthritis and others don’t, but a combination of factors plays a role. People with osteoarthritis may have inherently defective cartilage that makes it vulnerable to normal wear and tear. Rheumatoid arthritis develops when an overactive immune system attacks connective tissue in the joints and other organs, causing inflammation and pain.

ARTHRITIS AND FISH
Until recently, doctors generally dismissed dietary treatments for arthritis as quackery; new research shows, however, that for some patients, diet can make a difference. Studies have found that patients with RA can experience a marked reduction in swelling, pain and redness of joints by adding omega-3 fatty acids to their diet.

FOOD ALLERGIES
Some evidence indicates that a small percentage of people with arthritis have food allergies that exacerbate joint symptoms. Researchers have found that, for these people, removing the allergy-causing foods from the diet has resulted in less pain. If you think a certain food is triggering your pain, remove it from your diet for two weeks and pay attention to any symptom changes. Then add it back, and see if your symptoms worsen.

THE WEIGHT FACTOR
Obesity greatly increases the risk and severity of osteoarthritis. Even a little extra weight strains the knees and hips. Losing weight and increasing exercise often improve symptoms.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis often have the opposite problem; they may be too thin due to a lack of appetite, chronic pain or depression. A doctor may recommend calorie-and nutrient-enriched liquid supplements.

EXPERIMENTA; TREATMENTS
One promising approach entails rubbing painful joints with a cream containing capsaicin, a derivative of chilies. Capsaicin produces a stringing or burning feeling , but it appears to reduce inflammation.

BE WARY OF ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS
Because arthritis has no cure, sufferers often turn to alternative therapies. Some may help, others are worthless, often costly and sometimes dangerous. Bee venom injections do nothing for arthritis. Chelation, used to remove toxic metals from the body, has been touted in a series of 20 to 30 intravenous treatments as a remedy for RA, but there is no scientific evidence that it is effective.
