The arthrtis Diet

The Arthritis Fighting Diet

Let's begin by listing some food items that you should avoid. While there

are over 100 different types of arthritis, they all have one thing in

common. One or more of the food items listed will be an " allergy food " for

the arthritis sufferer.

The most common culprits are:

a.. sugar

b.. caffeine

c.. citrus

d.. salt

e.. red meat

f.. dairy products

g.. additives

h.. soft drinks

i.. flour

j.. nightshades (examples below)

k.. eggplants

l.. red peppers

m.. tomatoes

n.. white potatoes

o.. tobacco

If you do eat any of these foods, pay attention to any reaction you might

have in the next 24 hours. If you notice a reaction, you are indeed allergic

to that food item.

Society Factors

If there are two major factors that we could examine in the past 50-60 years

that has lead to an increase in the numbers of people who suffer from

arthritis, it would be these:

1. Sugar has become a major part of our daily diets

2. The consumption of soda pop has become widespread

Let's talk about soda. It is difficult to believe but every time you drink a

(regular) soda, you are consuming 11-13 teaspoons of sugar. (Some of you may

remember that old trick of putting a penny in a glass of soda. It corrodes

that penny to the point of virtual destruction. In short, soda is not

something that you should be drinking on a regular basis if you are

concerned about arthritis.

Food labels

Read the labels contained on the foods you are buying in your local grocery.

Be especially careful and avoid as much food as possible that contains

preservative and/or additives. (Take an extra careful look at labels on ice

cream and candy for example) The more natural your diet in terms of the food

you eat, the greater your chances are of defeating arthritis.

Prepared meals

Those meals you buy that can just be " popped " into the oven are also

something you should avoid if possible. Some contain as much as 1200 mg of

sodium and as much as 60 mg of cholesterol. (You might consider some of the

other health factors at play here and not just your arthritis)
