What is a good diet for osteoarthritis? - KeithD - 03-02-2023
A diet that is beneficial for people with osteoarthritis includes:
- Anti-inflammatory foods: such as fruits (berries, cherries, and tomatoes), vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli, and carrots), fatty fish (salmon, sardines, and mackerel), nuts (walnuts and almonds), and whole grains (brown rice and quinoa).
- Glucosamine and Chondroitin-rich foods: such as shellfish (crab, lobster, and shrimp) and bone broth.
- Vitamin D and Calcium-rich foods: such as dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt), fortified cereals, and fatty fish (salmon, sardines, and mackerel).
- Foods high in antioxidants: such as berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), leafy greens (spinach and kale), and colorful vegetables (bell peppers and carrots).
It is also recommended to limit foods that can contribute to inflammation, such as processed and packaged foods, sugar, and saturated fats.
It's important to note that dietary recommendations may vary based on individual needs and preferences, and it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
