Arthritis And Diet
Arthritis And Diet
Arthritis can be helped by paying attention to your diet. Today lets take a look at minerals and the role they play in bone, ligament and cartilage health.
MINERALS NEEDED IN THE DIET:
Boron – This trace mineral aids in bone health.
Calcium – This is a much-needed mineral for bone health.
Magnesium – Magnesium helps keep calcium in balance within the system.
Zinc – This mineral is necessary for bone growth, but is often lacking in arthritic patients.
Manganese – Manganese is also necessary for bone growth. However, do not ingest manganese with calcium because they can work against each other.
Copper – Copper helps to strengthen connective
tissue.
Germanium – This antioxidant helps with pain relief.
Sulfur – A lack of sulfur can result in deterioration of ligaments, cartilage, collagen and tendons.
Vegetables are a good source of minerals, especially the dark leafy greens such as swiss chard and kale. So it would be wise to make sure that you have 5 or more 1/2 cup survings of vegetables in your diet each day.
Don't skimp on your vegetables or you may not get enough minerals to help with your arthritis.
