Arthrosis is characterized by degenerative changes in the cartilaginous tissue and joints, with the bone and connective tissue growing. One of the most common causes of arthrosis is excessive mass and metabolic disorders . That is why a diet for arthrosis is aimed at losing weight and normalizing metabolism.
Oily fish and lean meat
Oily sea fish is a universally known useful product due to the content of omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. These fats soften the inflammatory processes and envelop the damaged tissues. Fish - as a source of protein, saturates the body with proteins to build new tissues.
Marine products are rich in vitamins A, E, D - all this is extremely important for arthrosis and any other diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
With a diet for patients with joint arthrosis, it is important to exclude saturated fats and replace them with unsaturated fats. The only exception may be butter, since it is more beneficial than harm. And, as for fatty meat, sausages, semi-finished products - forget and do not remember, they do not promise you anything good.
Plant food
Diet with deforming arthrosis must contain vegetable protein (peas, beans, chickpeas, lentils) and complex carbohydrates. The intake of simple carbohydrates is not recommended, since you are going to reduce body weight, and this goal does not correspond at all.
Among fruits, pay attention to pineapple and pomegranate. These two fruits are most useful for arthrosis, as both perfectly relieve the painful sensations and saturate complex carbohydrates and vitamins.
