Before you decide on a natural arthritis treatment, there are several things to consider. First of all, arthritis is a condition that is most often related to old age; however, you do not have to be old to be affected by it. Even those as young as in their twenties, thirties, and forties have arthritis and that trend does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon. It is a wonder because people are dealing with so much stress nowadays and it make us susceptible to many more diseases. So how can we combat arthritis when so much is stacked against us.Now, there are a number of drugs and pharmaceuticals on the market to treat arthritis. Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars in research to create medications that often have unwanted side effects. Because natural arthritis treatments aren’t controlled by the FDA, drug companies can easily discredit any research supporting its effectiveness. However, millions of users every day attest to the effectiveness of natural remedies so here are some you should consider to help reduce arthritis pain.We should begin with a proper diet. One should avoid certain foods and consume a good amount of anti- inflammatory foods to help with the arthritis pain. Foods that are rich in vitamin C should be consumed. Walnuts, soybeans, almonds, linseed, and pumpkin seeds are such foods. Also those foods which are rich in Omega 3 essential fatty acids and magnesium have been found beneficial. You can also use supplements like flaxseed oil or fish oil if you find it hard to take in enough Omega 3 fatty acids. Overall, maintain a good healthy consistent diet and it will help control your arthritis pain.Two other foods I want to mention which have been determined most beneficial to those experiencing arthritis issues are potato juice and cherry juice. If you do not have a juicer in your home, now may be a good time to consider investing in one. Potato juice which is especially good for rheumatoid arthritis contains a substantial amount of alkaline salts. It is rich in soda, potash and vitamins A and B. It helps to remove uric acid and lime thus helping to bring the body back into an alkaline state and reduces inflammation in the joints.Cherry juice is beneficial in reducing arthritis inflammation and pain. Cherries have a natural source of a phytochemical called Anthocyanins. Anthocyanins inhibit enzymes called cyclooxygenase-1 and -2. Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and aspirin targets these Cox-1 and Cox-2 enzymes to stop the transmission of pain. Tart cherries inhibits these enzymes at doses more than ten times that of a low dose aspirin. Some researchers say it works better than ibuprofen.Regardless of whether you choose a natural arthritis treatment or not, you should do something about your arthritis symptoms. Arthritis left untreated can lead to serious joint deterioration. Of course I hope you choose the natural route because I want you to heal from the inside out. Arthritis did not happen overnight so take some time to take care of yourself.
