(Health-NewsWire.Net, April 07, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Vitamin C is very popular and its usage is associated with a wide variety of health benefits. As a matter of fact, it is believed to be very helpful in reducing the risk for inflammatory arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis.
The Arthritis Foundation has stated on its website that arthritis risk can potentially be reduced by using the right vitamin C. This is something that patients and individuals who are suffering from arthritis should know about.
It is also important to note that taking too much of the vitamin can worsen certain kinds of arthritis. For instance, osteoarthritis patients should avoid consuming too much vitamin C to avoid accelerated joint damage.
"The USDA has recommended the dose for vitamin C. According to them, women may take 75 milligrams of vitamin C and men may take 90 milligrams each day. They also added that people, especially those suffering from arthritis, should make sure that they consume the right amount of the vitamin," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
In an animal study conducted by Duke University in North Carolina, it was found that the presence of high levels of vitamin C triggered a protein that was linked with the development of bone spurs. It is believed that this could speed up joint damage as well as pain in individuals who were suffering from osteoarthritis.
One study in Great Britain revealed that those who have low levels of vitamin C are more susceptible to rheumatoid arthritis than those who have a diet that is rich in vitamin C food items.
"There are food items, such as red peppers, strawberries and citrus fruits, that are suggested to be very helpful in avoiding inflammation. The vitamin C in these foods is believed to assist osteoarthritis patients who are trying to maintain healthy joints," added O'Sullivan.
Engaging in regular exercise is just one way to avoid arthritis. Weight management is also very important, because being overweight or obese can increase one's risk for the condition. It is also best to practice healthy eating habits on a daily basis.
A wide variety of vitamins and minerals are recommended by experts in their greatest attempt to help individuals reduce their risk for, or manage, arthritis. There are also natural alternatives, such as glucosamine supplements, that are widely used today, especially among arthritis patients. Many glucosamine users have testified that they experienced significant pain relief and improved mobility by simply using glucosamine (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
