We never cease to explain to our readers that all the problems with their body are just a CONSEQUENCE of THEIR UNREASONABLE BEHAVIOR: poor diet and daily routine, alcohol abuse, smoking, and we will generally remain silent about the use of any narcotic substances.
And only they themselves, taking actions in the right direction, are able to rid their body of all diseases, including such serious ones as cancer, stomach ulcers, gastritis. One of the methods of treating gastritis is a raw food diet.
How can a raw food diet for gastritis quickly and effectively relieve the body of constant pain?
Increased acidity is not formed in the human body by itself, but because “homo sapiens” eats incorrectly: it consumes foods that require acid to break down.
Switching to a raw food diet for gastritis removes the basis for the release of acid in the stomach, because vegetables and fruits require alkali for their processing.
But we consider it our duty to warn “great enthusiasts” to make fundamental decisions in their lives: the transition to a raw food diet should be gradual and thoughtful. Because there is a Russian proverb about this, which says that “you can foolishly break something...”. In our case, health will deteriorate.
To begin with, we recommend reducing portions of foods for which the stomach produces acid to break down: meat and sausages, eggs, dairy products, fish products. It is advisable at this time not to eat fruits containing organic acid: apples, plums, citrus fruits, pineapple, kiwi. You need to forget about any preservation once and for all, because these products can make an absolutely healthy person sick.
While reducing the amount of animal protein consumed, take more raw vegetables: carrots, cabbage of all types, bell peppers, cucumbers, lettuce (plant), various greens. Tomatoes also contain (especially unripe) acid, which “warms up” gastritis.
We advise you to first completely give up pork and beef, consuming a certain amount of chicken fillet, rabbit meat, turkey, and lean fish (hake, pollock).
Sugar should be replaced with honey, eat nuts, especially almonds. This nut is the only one of the entire family that contributes to the formation of an alkaline environment in the body. American psychic healer Edgar Cayce recommended taking two to three almonds daily to strengthen the human immune system.
The period of gradual cessation of consuming foods of animal origin is very individual and depends on the biochemical processes in the patient’s body. As well as slagging in the body.
We assume that the average period for preparing a patient’s body for a complete transition to a raw food diet is three months. During this time, the human body will calmly “understand” that it will no longer receive nutrition as before and will react adequately (without pain).
We hope that the reader understands that gastritis and a raw food diet are incompatible things, because with proper vegetarian nutrition, the foundation for the formation and existence of this disease - the acidic environment in the body - completely disappears.
On an unhealthy diet, even eating fruits such as apples, plums, and citrus fruits of all kinds caused attacks of gastritis in a person.
After two to three months of a raw food diet, you will calmly eat fruits containing organic acid without any negative feelings.
That is, gastritis on a raw food diet will disappear 100%, leaving only unpleasant memories.
Diet for rheumatoid arthritis of the joints is no less important than taking medications. Therapeutic nutrition helps reduce pain, fatigue and stiffness in affected areas of the body. Therefore, it is important for everyone who suffers from this disease to know what to eat in order to feel good and prevent complications.
The diet is prescribed by a doctor who takes into account the individual characteristics of the patient and his condition. Since rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, it is important to remove foods that cause allergies from the diet.
To determine what may trigger the reaction, one product and all dishes containing it are excluded from the menu for 7-14 days. It is then introduced into the diet for a day, and over the next three days it is observed whether its consumption worsens the symptoms of arthritis. If not, then use the product again for one day, and then take a break for 3 days. By repeating this several times, you can identify food allergens and adjust your diet.
The following products most often cause an allergic reaction:
Therefore, they should be checked first, and if any of the above turns out to be an allergen, you should forget about this food at least for the duration of the exacerbation.
In addition, the following principles are adhered to in clinical nutrition:
In order for the treatment to give results, it is also important to eat plenty of food rich in vitamins - greens, fresh, baked, boiled or stewed vegetables, berries and fruits. Bran and buckwheat are also useful for this disease.
There is also a category of products that need to be removed from your menu so as not to cause an exacerbation of the disease. Diet for rheumatoid arthritis should exclude spicy, smoked, canned foods and pickles; you should also avoid drinking strong drinks, alcohol and fatty meats.
Salt should be added little by little to ready-made dishes, and its amount should not exceed 3 g per day.
You also need to reduce the amount of carbohydrates and fats in the diet: the latter should be no more than 1 g per 1 kg of body. Of these, at least 15% should be vegetable fats. Sweets should be consumed in very small quantities. Cakes, pastries and carbonated drinks should be prohibited.
There are several nutritional options for rheumatoid arthritis that can help reduce the symptoms of the disease and promote a speedy recovery. The most popular and balanced is the domestic diet, which involves eating five meals a day by the hour.
Here is the summer menu for this diet:
Before going to bed, you are allowed to drink a glass of kefir. In winter, you can add sauerkraut, nuts and dried fruits. There should be as little salt as possible in such a menu; sugar and strong drinks are prohibited. You should not eat a lot of bread (up to 150 g).
This diet for rheumatoid arthritis is considered very effective. A person following the Dong diet should avoid the following foods for 10 weeks:
Once every 7 days, eating a small amount of poultry is allowed.
This principle of therapeutic nutrition in accordance with the Dong diet has gained popularity in domestic medicine, where it is called table No. 10.
This severe low-calorie diet is quite worthy of the northern peoples. The only drinks you can drink are herbal tea, beetroot or carrot juice. Vegetable broths are consumed as food. Also allowed in food:
Spices and alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited, and strict restrictions must be placed on salt in the diet.
The Mediterranean diet is beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis. It allows vegetables, olive oil and, unlike other diets, cereals. You can also include legumes in your diet. Treatment using such a menu, which can be followed for a long time, was developed and tested in Sweden, and showed good results.
This diet is suitable for a person suffering from arthritis and diabetes. It excludes foods containing gluten (oatmeal, rice, rye, wheat, barley), since when it enters the bloodstream, it causes pain. All other proteins are also prohibited.
The opposite of a gluten-free diet is a protein diet. Treatment with a diet with a high protein content is prescribed if diets without protein only worsen the patient's condition. The therapeutic diet necessarily includes soups with meat, vegetable, fish or milk broth. In addition to protein products, rice and semolina, borscht, and condensed milk are allowed in small quantities. It is allowed to drink tea, coffee or juices, and meals should be small, 4 times a day.
Raw foodists eat exclusively food that has not been subjected to heat treatment - not only of plant origin, but also raw fish, milk, eggs and even meat. The most common is the vegan type, which excludes any animal products. In 1998, Finns conducted a study in which people followed a raw vegan diet and rheumatoid arthritis subsided. However, half of the subjects stopped it due to nausea and diarrhea. However, with severe pain due to rheumatoid arthritis, a raw food diet can be a real salvation.
During therapy, it is necessary that the patient’s body receives a sufficient amount of calcium, vitamins D, PP, B, B1, B2, B6 and C, as well as omega-3 acids. Folic acid will also be necessary for rheumatoid arthritis, especially if the patient is taking Methotrexate: it will prevent the occurrence of some side effects.
It is advisable to eat as many berries and fruits as possible: gooseberries, apples, black currants. Obesity and smoking should not be tolerated.
The patient's recovery can be accelerated if he adheres to a therapeutic diet. It excludes fried, fatty, smoked, spicy, canned foods, alcohol, cocoa products and greatly limits sweets and salt. The diet should be individual and take into account the stage of the disease, the age of the patient and exclude foods that cause allergies.
Treatment also necessarily includes consuming sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals. Failure to follow the diet can lead to deterioration of the patient's condition and serious damage to the joints.

Hi all. I hasten to share again my experience accumulated over this week. Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not encouraging anyone to adopt a raw food diet, because to each their own, although as I already mentioned, I haven’t even started practicing a completely raw food diet yet. Until then, I ate boiled food. Let me start by saying that I had a breakdown this Wednesday. On Tuesday I was fasting, but I ended the fast incorrectly and ate nuts, although they are considered raw food. Now I understand that they should not be abused. On Thursday I wanted to switch completely to fruits and vegetables. Getting up in the morning, I drank water with lemon, then after a while I ate grapes, after a while I ate 2 pears and went to the gym. I felt great. I worked out in the gym for 1.5 hours, and then suddenly my stomach hurt (consequences of not properly recovering from hunger and overeating nuts), and I had to quit fitness. Previously, even before the diet, I also had stomach pain from time to time, especially if I didn’t eat on time, and then I saved myself with yogurt, after which the pain went away. This time, yogurt also saved me, and after that it took off: at work I drank 2 glasses of milk with 4 cookies, then 2 bananas, some other fruit, I don’t remember exactly, I came home from work in the evening, drank tea with sugar + bread with cheese + candy (although the taste of candy is no longer the same as it was before), I went to bed at night with a full stomach, eventually at 4 am, because I couldn’t sleep (with my current healthy regimen, I sleep like a baby, I fall asleep and wake up without any problems fresh and rested). I slept very poorly that day, fortunately I didn’t have to go to work. On Friday I cleaned my intestines after all this, ate boiled rice without salt and a salad of greens, cucumbers and tomatoes without oil or anything harmful, and felt better. On Saturday, my husband and I went to visit my grandmother, she offered us honey, I didn’t refuse, plus I ate honey with bread, it was so delicious. I also ate egg salad with onions, it’s good that I didn’t add mayonnaise and salt. Returning home, I finished the evening with 2 sandwiches with cheese and fish pate, plus 2 cups of tea with sugar. I felt a heaviness in my stomach again, but this time I didn’t eat so much, since I had to get up early for work on Sunday. And what is the result: today, Sunday, I already woke up with pain in the joints: knee, jaw joint, elbow, feet, hands, there was also a sore throat and accumulation of mucus in the nasopharynx, weakness, weakness, too lazy to get up, too lazy to put on makeup and carry out morning cosmetic procedures (usually I wipe my face with chamomile ice), but somehow I forced myself to do it. I woke up with a puffy face, and my complexion was somehow dull. I really didn’t like myself today. While working (I walk a lot), the pain in the knee joint intensified, and at the end of the working day the knee was slightly swollen. When I got home I had a headache and I still have pain in my joints. Eh, I’ll have to start all over again, and not listen to anyone anymore. As they say, let's start on Monday. I drew conclusions for myself: no matter what anyone says, you need to listen to your body.
Svetik , as I understand it, this is a stone for my garden! I will no longer write to you my opinion and share my experience regarding malnutrition! It’s all the same, as they say, until the rooster pecks. And besides, this is my experience! It will definitely be different for you - yours! Sorry!
RA from 11.2012 C01.14 sulf 2x2. Since 05.2015 methotrexate, reached 15 mg, from 4.2016 - methotrexate 10 mg/week, sulf 1x2 times per day, folk 6 mg/week
RA since 11.2013 She started treatment on February 15, 2014 with Elafra, Celebrex, and Ayurveda medicine. Remission from 12/2014 to 01/2016. Now methotrexate 10 mg and Celebrex 200 mg morning-evening.
RA since April 2013, started treatment in September 2013 with methotresate 20 mg. once a week, folic acid 6 mg.
The main thing here is to see the goal and go towards it. I think that RA can be completely cured! even to me, and I told you what state my body is in, but I know that if you give the body the opportunity to regenerate, create all the conditions for it, it will do it and will recover completely! I also know that the entire joint and periarticular space at the cellular level takes 4 - 4.5 years to me!))) (for example, the gastric mucosa changes every few days) These are the terms I stick to, well + I give about a year to my own mistakes and errors.
Ultimately, I don’t want the disease to take up my time and energy all my life, and recovery is not the goal of life, I view it as such a period of life, I just need to get through it.
Svetik, it’s very difficult when your husband doesn’t support you, you just have to see this goal and go towards it with a strong spirit, even if they think you’re crazy, know that this is not so. It's everyone else who's crazy
RA since 1994. 1/16 diclofenac tablet until July 15, 2015; Now I’m going on a raw food diet, I don’t take any “medicines”.
Stasya, it seems to me that we didn’t quite understand each other. Sorry if anything. The fact is that I haven’t consumed sweets, alcohol, tea, coffee, baked goods and other chemicals for more than six months, and I don’t crave them at all. I have not consumed only meat, fish, eggs, dairy products since August, and already on the third day after a sharp withdrawal I began to either have a cleansing crisis or a withdrawal syndrome, now I think it’s drugs. I drink herbal infusions, mainly chamomile. I fasted weekly until I stopped. But starting next week I will start fasting once every 2 weeks. The only problem I have so far is the influence of people close to me, one might say that because of them I have so-called breakdowns, although they cannot be called that, since I am not drawn to animal products. Of course, I don’t like to blame my problems on others, it’s my fault that I couldn’t resist their onslaught and went astray. I recently went to see my parents, they haven’t seen me since July, so my mother was in shock, since during this time I had lost 10 kg. In July I weighed 64 kg, and at the beginning of November 54 kg. They are afraid that I will become anorexic. They began to “fatten” me, fish every day (I didn’t eat meat), sour cream, it only took me 2 days to eat like this, and the next morning I had a stuffy nose, a sore throat, pain in the joints, lethargy, apathy, I didn’t have that energy which I felt before, weakness throughout my body. And then, one thing, the more animal products you consume, the more you want and you also begin to lean on other harmful products. Yes, I gained 3 kg in 2 weeks, but that’s not the main thing, it’s that I started to feel very bad. I scold myself for this, that I have lost my way again. Because the more “breakdowns” there are, the more difficult it is to come to your normal, healthy state. This week started all over again on Monday. I eat only raw vegetables, fruits, and nuts, but so far my condition leaves much to be desired, and I still don’t have the lightness that I felt before visiting my parents. And yet, now I think that I need fasting to feel energetic and healthy again. I have been doing fitness since April, at first I worked out very intensively, did a lot of cardio, now I do 3 times a week, mainly strength training. Naturally, I listen to my body, everything according to the general state of the body, without forcing events.

DariaMorgendorffer , thank you for your letter, I believe we will succeed, we just need to believe and go towards our goal against all odds, despite all the obstacles, and listening to our body and soul. We learn from mistakes, now I know more clearly what I need and how I will implement my plan. Write to me how your tests are, and I’m also very concerned about the parameters at the moment. What is your current height and weight? When I weighed 54 kg, my abs were clearly visible, I always dreamed of such abs, ever since I was 16 years old, and now having added 3 kg, it is no longer so clearly visible. My upper body lost a lot of weight, my bones were already sticking out at 54 kg, and my abs were just a sight to behold.

In the general structure of joint disease, arthritis takes a leading place, often becomes chronic with an actively progressive course and is one of the leading causes of disability in patients. Many diseases with an articular component are often not separate diseases, but are included in the structure of various rheumatic and metabolic diseases. Accordingly, therapeutic nutrition is differentiated depending on the etiology of the disease, its form (acute attack, chronic form, inter-attack period), the patient’s condition and the medications taken.
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis includes a set of measures, one of which is diet therapy. Its goal is to reduce the inflammatory process and tissue allergies, strengthen connective tissue structures, and correct metabolism . The diet is based on the current phase of the disease (active/inactive), the degree of joint damage and the presence of complications (circulatory failure, amyloidosis ).
The basic principles of therapeutic nutrition for patients with rheumatoid arthritis include:
Diet No. 10R according to Pevzner is taken as the basis for therapeutic nutrition The calorie content of the daily diet varies at the level of 2400 kcal (with normal weight) and reduced by 20-25% with increased body weight. The amount of protein is 90-100 g, fat – 70 g and 250 g of carbohydrates. The total amount of free liquid is reduced to 0.8-1.0 l, sodium chloride - 3-5 g.
In the acute phase of rheumatoid arthritis with severe polyarthritis , accompanied by edema caused by impaired carbohydrate and water-salt metabolism, the calorie content of the diet is reduced to 1700-1800 kcal with salt limited to 2-3 grams per day. day. Protein content is 70 g, fat is 70-75 g and fluid consumption is up to one liter per day.
The calorie content of the diet is reduced mainly by replacing easily digestible carbohydrates with complex ones (vegetables, fruits, some types of cereals). Sugar in the diet should not exceed 20 g. Reducing calories helps reduce pain and inflammation, autoimmune reactions and excess weight, which reduces the load on the joints of the foot. Limiting salt reduces swelling and effusion into the joint capsule. At the same time, food is prepared without salt, and dishes are added with salt within the daily norm directly at the table. Products containing a lot of salt are also excluded: marinades, canned food, pickles, sea fish is replaced with river fish.
The limitation of proteins is due to their ability to activate autoimmune inflammation, while the proportion of animal proteins is at least 60%. After reducing inflammation, protein consumption is increased to 90 g per day to activate recovery processes.
During an exacerbation, dietary nutrition should ensure sparing of the gastrointestinal tract - food is prepared boiled or steamed, chopped, with the exception of meat, fish, mushroom broths, spices, smoked meats, hot seasonings. This is especially true in cases of prescribing salicylates , glucocorticoids , indomethacin ( methanol ), which, by suppressing inflammation and reducing pain, cause damage to the gastric mucosa and disrupt the functions of the gastrointestinal tract.
However, in cases of long-term use, proteins should not be limited in the diet, since the need for them under the influence of such drugs increases significantly. The menu for rheumatoid arthritis of the joints should include foods rich in ascorbic acid , niacin , bioflavonoids , contained in large quantities in rose hips, black currants, sweet peppers, tangerines, oranges, gooseberries, apples, rice and wheat bran, green tea.
Rheumatoid arthritis in the remission phase provides for physiologically complete nutrition with the consumption of 90-100 g of protein, 75-80 fats with a limit of up to 300 g of easily digestible carbohydrates (sugar, honey, confectionery, jam, jam). The salt content in the daily diet is still limited, but to a level of 5-6 g/day. The diet excludes the consumption of strong coffee and tea, carbonated drinks and alcohol, which can provoke a relapse of the disease. Meals are divided into 5-6 meals per day.
Popular articles on nutritional therapy often use other diets (Mediterranean, Dong diet , gluten-free diet , Sister Hills diet and others), which are based on similar principles by limiting foods containing preservatives, dyes, chemical flavoring additives, red meat, citrus and dairy products, however, they have not found widespread use in our conditions.
Gouty arthritis based on disorders of the metabolism of purine bases, manifested by damage to the joints, most often the toes, caused by deposits of crystals of uric acid in the synovium of the joints.
The diet for gouty arthritis is based on the principles:
The main diet for gout and arthritis is dietary Table No. 6 developed by Pevzner and aimed at normalizing the metabolism of purine bases, reducing the concentration of uric acid and its salts formed during the processing of purines, and shifting the urine reaction to the alkaline side. The energy value varies between 2750-2800 Kcal. The diet is physiologically complete with a moderate restriction in the diet of proteins to 70-80 g and fats to 80-90 g (mainly refractory).
The carbohydrate content for a patient with a normal weight is about 400 g. Free liquid is at the level of 2 liters. The diet includes a restriction/prohibition on foods containing a lot of purines and oxalic acid with a limitation of table salt (up to 10 g/day). At the same time, foods that have a pronounced alkalizing effect (vegetables/fruits, milk) are introduced into the diet. Products high in purines include all types of meat and especially various types of offal (tongue, liver, brains), dry yeast, sardines, legumes, red fish, and seafood.
If obesity the patient is prescribed Diet 6E . The diet is not physiologically complete and can be prescribed for a short period of time. Its energy value is 1900-2000 Kcal. The protein content in the diet is reduced to 70 g, fat - to 80 g, carbohydrates to 250 g, mainly due to simple carbohydrates (honey, fresh wheat bread, sugar, various sweets, flour and confectionery products) and to a lesser extent - complex carbohydrates (some types of cereals). Eating meat/fish - no more than 1-2 times a week. Vegetables and fruits are recommended to be consumed raw, baked or boiled. Meals in small portions up to 5-6 times a day, plenty of slightly alkaline mineral waters.
Protein/carbohydrate fasting days, which should be carried out 1-2 times a week, are of great importance in therapeutic nutrition for gouty arthritis. It is recommended to carry out:
Diet is especially important for gouty arthritis during an exacerbation. It provides for the complete exclusion of all meat and fish products from the diet. During this period, the diet should be based on vegetarian products, as well as liquid porridges, vegetable/milk soups, fermented milk products, vegetable/fruit decoctions and juices, and herbal teas.
During the period of exacerbation of the disease, frequent fasting days (optimally every other day) and increased consumption of alkaline non-carbonated mineral waters are necessary. Some articles recommend a raw food diet and describe the treatment of gouty arthritis by fasting, which is highly undesirable, since fasting treatment leads to a sharp increase in uric acid . Fasting days only.
In an integrated approach to the treatment of psoriatic arthritis, nutritional therapy significantly reduces the severity of clinical manifestations of arthritis, reduces the frequency and intensity of seasonal exacerbations. Dietary nutrition is aimed at:
It is advisable to select a diet individually in accordance with the severity of the clinical manifestations of psoriatic arthritis, the rate of progression, the patient’s immune status and the specifics of metabolism.
In the case of a benign course and the absence of joint deformities outside the period of exacerbation, dietary Table No. 15 as a basis with the exclusion of fatty meats, canned foods, spices, smoked meats and pickles, savory snacks, and baked goods from the diet. The diet is enriched with plant foods containing fiber (carrots, cabbage, turnips, apples, rutabaga), which help improve gastrointestinal motility, remove toxins and prevent constipation , and saturate the body with macro- and micronutrients. It is important to maintain a strict diet for a long period. The introduction of various vegetable oils and alkaline mineral water into the diet is indicated. Meals should be fractional, in small portions.
In the acute stage, when changes occur in the joints (increase in size, deformation, pain) or the development of polyarthritis, therapeutic nutrition involves limiting carbohydrates in the diet to 200-250 g by reducing easily digestible carbohydrates and limiting protein to 70-80 g. Completely excluded meat/fish broths, limited to fish and meat, which are consumed only boiled without salt.
The diet is enriched with foods rich in vitamins (vegetables, fruits, berries) and their juices, as well as a decoction of rose hips, sea buckthorn, and rowan. The volume of free liquid is reduced to 1-1.5 liters. For sluggish psoriatic polyarthritis, it is recommended to carry out vegetable and fruit fasting days.
Intensive use of glucocorticoids, NSAIDs, and salicylates requires additional dietary correction. The diet is supplemented with foods containing complete protein and lipotropic substances - fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, seafood, berries, vegetables, fruits. Limit refractory animal fats, reduce salt intake, reduce carbohydrate content due to sugar and foods containing oxalic acid - offal (brains, kidneys, liver, tongue), strong meat/fish broth, salted cheese, jellied meat, spinach, sorrel, tomatoes, chocolate, celery, gelatin, rhubarb). Increase the content of foods rich in potassium - fresh fruits/vegetables, dried apricots, prunes, raisins.
The diet includes mainly vegetarian soups or first courses prepared in light meat/fish broths with a small addition of cereals. For second courses, it is recommended to use dietary turkey, chicken and rabbit meat, as well as lean varieties of red meat, boiled or baked in the oven. Fish, both sea and river, mostly lean.
Fats are introduced into the diet in the form of flaxseed or olive vegetable oil and unsalted butter. Chicken egg dishes are used in the form of a protein omelet. The consumption of cereals, both as an independent dish and as a side dish, is not limited. White and black bread and crackers are allowed. The diet should include low-fat cottage cheese and dishes made from it, fermented milk products, low-fat milk, and unsalted cheeses.
It is recommended to increase the volume and range of vegetables and fruits, both in the form of vinaigrette and salads, seasoned with vegetable oil, and in boiled or stewed form. Among sweets, you can include marshmallows, marmalade, marshmallows, non-chocolate candies, and jam in your diet. The recommended drinks are weak green tea, vegetable/fruit juices, fruit drinks and compotes, decoctions of wheat bran, rose hips, chicory, kvass, as well as non-carbonated low-mineralized alkaline mineral waters.
Arthritis is, unfortunately, not a rare disease. As a rule, pain is the leading symptom of the disease and the main companion of those suffering from arthritis. You will be surprised, but one of the most effective strategies in the fight against joint pain is not taking analgesics. Proper nutrition for arthritis is the key to feeling great!
By following a certain diet and eliminating foods that are harmful to joints from your diet, you can significantly reduce inflammation and pain, reduce swelling and get rid of excess weight. These 9 foods are out of the refrigerator!
These carbohydrates are found in abundance in all kinds of baked goods, sweets, jams, sauces and carbonated drinks. Irrational consumption of such harmful delicacies can easily lead to excess weight, followed by poor circulation in the joints. The latter will not receive enough nutrients, which means that the course of arthritis will worsen.
Animal products contain arachidonic acid, which, when entering the human body, breaks down into eicosanoids. The latter cause inflammation of the joints and aggravate the course of the disease. We are talking about fatty meats - pork and beef.
Gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley and oats, can cause inflammatory joint diseases. Numerous studies have shown that people with rheumatoid arthritis who eliminated gluten-containing foods from their diet experienced complete remission .
The exclusion of these products from the diet should be considered individually, taking into account the characteristics of the body.
Milk and dairy products are an important source of calcium and vitamin D, which help make bones strong, preventing fractures and other problems. However, eliminating these foods from your diet may help reduce arthritis symptoms.
You should avoid taking strong tonic drinks because the caffeine they contain leaches calcium from bone tissue. And this provokes the appearance of arthritis or aggravates its course.
By the way, fried fatty foods are not good for anyone, especially for someone with arthritis! It’s difficult to give up delicious foods, but then don’t be surprised if you develop problems with your heart, liver, or joints.
Eggplants, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes - all these are ill-fated nightshades. The alkaloid solanine, found in abundance in this kind of vegetables, can affect the nervous system; it causes insomnia, headaches and, of course, joint pain. People suffering from arthritis and gout are sensitive to nightshades !
It is, of course, difficult to give up nightshade vegetables, but everyone can reduce their consumption. By the way, during heat treatment, tomatoes and peppers lose up to half of their harmful alkaloids!
Drinking alcohol during arthritis aggravates the course of the disease, increasing inflammatory processes in the tissues of the diseased joint. At the same time, the level of potassium in the blood decreases, and this leads to the formation of edema, which leads to thinning of the cartilage tissue. Drinking alcohol together with analgesics during an exacerbation of the disease is no less dangerous.
These seemingly harmless white crystals are the sworn enemies of your joints! Consuming salt contributes to the deposition of salts in the joints, lowers bone mass, increases swelling, increases inflammation and pain.
Arthritis without proper treatment can cause disability, as it causes irreversible changes in the joints! Watch your weight, do not skimp on vegetables and fruits, give up alcohol, spicy seasonings, and also avoid foods that aggravate the disease. This lifestyle is the best prevention of arthritis . Be healthy!

A properly selected diet plays a vital role in recovery from arthritis. Sometimes doctors recommend resorting to fasting if it promotes recovery. But this should be done exclusively under the supervision of the specialist who prescribed this procedure. But the simplest dietary recommendations will benefit everyone.
Arthritis refers to diseases that lead to changes in the joints of the musculoskeletal system. In the treatment of arthritis, all kinds of balanced or dietary nutrition are prescribed as part of a complex program aimed at restoring the functionality of joints and tissues.
The diet is prepared individually for the patient by a nutritionist, based on the characteristics of the body and the course of the disease. If necessary, a fasting procedure may be prescribed. It is not recommended to choose a diet on your own due to the different range of products. The fruits and vegetables included in a diet for one type of arthritis or arthrosis may be completely unsuitable for another.
As an example, a set of products for arthrosis cannot be used in preparing dishes for psoriastic arthritis. Food must be balanced, and recommendations must be followed exactly to avoid exacerbations of the disease.
General rules for following a diet when diagnosed with arthritis:
Products useful for arthritis:
It is recommended to exclude from daily consumption for arthritis:
In addition, the following foods should be excluded from the diet:
In addition to eliminating harmful foods from your diet, you must give up smoking and alcohol abuse. Smoked meats of all types are also not recommended, so you will have to give up sausage.
With a variety of possible diets, it is necessary to remember that the range of products used in the treatment complex depends on the type of arthritis.
Below is a table that describes key dietary considerations for certain types of arthritis.

The term “arthritis” refers to damage to the joints (ankle, hip, fingers, etc.). To alleviate the condition of patients, not only treatment methods are being developed, but also nutritional recommendations. Therefore, people who want to help themselves and their loved ones often type the words “diet arthritis” into search engines. What should a diet be like for arthritis? There is no clear answer to this question, since the diet depends on the type of disease. In addition, a diet for arthritis is a conditional name, since doctors do not have a common opinion about the need for restrictions in the diet of patients and the effect of certain substances on the course of the disease. We are talking about foods that are likely to reduce inflammation and pain (to ensure the ability to move and return the joints of the fingers to working condition), as well as limiting or completely eliminating foods that aggravate the patient’s condition. Therefore, articles for the query “diet arthritis” may differ in content. Modern medicine distinguishes rheumatoid, psoriatic, gouty and other arthritis. There are also:
Regarding nutrition, both advice is offered for everyone, as well as a specific diet for arthritis for each type. Let's look at this in more detail.
Avoiding fatty and sugary foods helps maintain normal body weight. Excess weight puts a lot of stress on all organs, which increases pain. That is why the words “diet arthritis” should be on the lips of everyone who is affected by this disease.
To avoid trouble, you need to eat little but often, chew your food thoroughly and get on the scale every morning.
A balanced diet is already a diet for arthritis. Foods containing omega-3 fatty acids help you feel better:
It is better to be careful with the inhabitant of the underwater depths, since it is not indicated for everyone (more about this in the materials on the request “diet arthritis” and further in the article). Should not be included in the diet:
Nutrition should be balanced, low in calories, rich in vitamins and minerals. Your doctor will help you choose the right multivitamin complex.
Patients completely abandon alcohol and tea with a diuretic effect.
As mentioned above, in this case we are talking about inflammation of many joints, including the fingers. Since this disease also has varieties, the menu is also different. Some scientists propose Mediterranean cuisine, which is characterized by a large amount of olive oil. So, when searching for recipes for the query “arthritis diet,” it’s easy to find ways to prepare vegetable lasagna or sea bream.
We should not forget about fermented baked milk and yogurt, because they contain calcium. In the absence of this element, there is a possibility of osteoporosis and, as a consequence, a fracture of not only the fingers, but also, for example, the femoral neck.
Older ladies are at greatest risk. For them, the combination of words “diet arthritis” is one of the most relevant. The recommended calcium intake is one thousand milligrams per day. There should also be food rich in iron on the table. It is found in leafy vegetables (lettuce, spinach), apples and fish oil. Rice, barley and Brazil nuts will help replenish the reserves of such a necessary substance as selenium.
Doctors advise people suffering from this disease to pay attention to seafood. There is a possibility that fatty fish and fish oil, when consumed regularly, completely eliminate inflammation in the joints of not only the fingers, but also other parts of the body. Then you won’t have to search for materials on the query “arthritis diet.” Fish oil capsules, salmon or trout should be eaten twice a day for three months.
Its cause is the accumulation of uric acid in the joints, the effect of which is destructive. Therefore, it is necessary to exclude foods containing purine, a substance whose breakdown produces uric acid:

A diet for psoriatic arthritis involves minimizing the use of salt and animal fats in cooking. In addition, the following are not used:
It is allowed to eat white fish, vegetables, green apples, bananas, as well as cereals with or without bran. In addition to diet, patients regularly take medications, follow a work-rest schedule, and engage in therapeutic physical exercise. Recommendations and diet for arthritis
