Tip of the Day for October 28, 2002It is not unusual for people to eat more as a way of dealing with stress, including the stress of living with a chronic illness. Not only is extra weight unhealthy, but it puts more stress on the muscles. So many factors can play a part in increased weight, which could lower your self-image even more. It isn’t easy to find yourself in this catch-22 situation. The Arthritis Foundation recommends the following general guidelines for anyone with arthritis (they also apply to those with fibromyalgia): • Eat a variety of foods• Maintain your ideal weight• Avoid too much fat and cholesterol• Avoid too much sugar• Eat foods with enough starch and fiber• Avoid too much sodium• Drink alcohol in moderation (watch this carefully – alcohol often interacts with medicine, producing a dangerous combination).
