In case of arthritis and osteoarthritis, it is important to follow a diet that helps reduce inflammation and maintain a healthy weight, since excess weight can increase pressure on the affected joints. Foods to avoid include:
Processed and high-sugar foods: These can increase inflammation levels in the body. Examples include sugary drinks, candy, and processed foods such as some breakfast cereals and packaged snacks.
Saturated and trans fats: Present in red meat, butter, cheese, and fried or processed foods. These fats can promote inflammation.
Salt and foods high in sodium: Excess sodium can increase water retention, which can increase pressure on your joints.
Alcohol: Excessive alcohol consumption can increase inflammation and have negative effects on joint health.
Foods high in purines: These can increase uric acid in the body and worsen symptoms in people with gout, a form of arthritis. Foods high in purines include red meat, organ meats, and some fish and shellfish.
And others that I explain in the video.
It is important to emphasize that each person reacts differently to certain foods and that is why it can be useful to keep a food diary to identify possible food triggers. It is also advisable to consult a health professional or dietician to obtain a personalized meal plan appropriate to individual needs.
