(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 12, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Due to the rapidly increasing number of people who are suffering from a variety of medical conditions, many healthcare professionals and experts recommend consistent consumption of healthy food and beverages. Eating healthy food items can be highly beneficial for the mind and body, and this is especially true among arthritis patients.
The Arthritis Foundation reveals there are food items best for arthritis. Anti-inflammatory food and beverage items are highly recommended for arthritis patients, and there are those that patients should increase consumption of as soon as possible.
"There are certain food items that can significantly help ease arthritis symptoms when added to a patient's balanced diet," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Certain types of fish contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to fight inflammation. Patients should consume at least 3 to 4 ounces of fish, such as herring, mackerel, tuna and salmon, twice a week to get the anti-inflammatory benefits. Individuals who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis can truly benefit from eating fish or taking fish oil supplements.
Those who are not fond of eating fish can take advantage of the fish oil supplements available in the market today. These supplements are usually loaded with with EPA and DHA, which are omega-3 fatty acids that are known for their powerful health benefits.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, patients can also add to their diet food and kitchen ingredients such as soy, cherries, broccoli, healthy oils, garlic and beverages such as green tea. Soy is believed to be good for rheumatoid arthritis patients while extra virgin olive oil, which has properties used in anti-inflammatory drugs, is ideal for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Studies have also shown that cherries, which have anthocyanins known to have anti-inflammatory effects, can help lessen the frequency of gout attacks. Anthocyanins are also present in other fruits such as blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. The compound called sulforaphane, which is found in broccoli, is believed to be helpful in preventing or slowing down the progression of osteoarthritis.
"The good thing about plant-based anti-inflammatory food and beverage items, compared to drugs, is that they are not associated with side effects," added O'Sullivan.
There are many known natural remedies that are used by arthritis patients nowadays. Plant-based food and kitchen ingredients are used as natural remedies, especially those with anti-inflammatory effects. Fish oil supplements, which have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, are also considered by many as a great natural alternative for arthritis (http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Fish-Oil-Supplement-Softgels/dp/B00O8NS20K).
