Whether you have pain and inflammation resulting from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or osteoarthritis (OA), nutrition can play a critical role in reducing symptoms.  As a nation that relies on drugs to manage health problems, we have forgotten the importance of nutrition.

 

Nutritional Weight & Wellness believes that in order for people with arthritis to change their dietary habits, they need to understand how food affects the inflammatory response.  Most people have no idea that eating sugar and processed grains increases their levels of pain and inflammation. Simply by eating lean meats, vegetables and healing fats, people reduce arthritic pain and symptoms.

 

We assist people in making dietary and lifestyle changes in a prescriptive, detailed, scientific way.  Nutrition can help rebuild the immune system and restore intestinal health, two important factors in decreasing pain and inflammation and increasing energy. Often, healing the intestinal tract is necessary to stop continued breakdown of the joints. Along with dietary changes, key supplements for restoring joint health include the Omega 3 essential fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, and glucosamine chondroitin.  Getting specific recommendations in an individual consultation will put you on a more comfortable path to improved joint health.
