Rich in omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are a group of essential fats found in fish, algae, walnuts, chia seeds, and flax seeds that play an important role in reducing chronic inflammation and joint pain.
These fatty acids reduce the production and release of cytokines, which are molecules that cause inflammation. Therefore, omega-3s can help reduce morning stiffness, swelling, and pain.
Rich in vitamins
To maintain healthy bones, joints, and cartilage, it is necessary to supplement a number of key vitamins including vitamins D, C, A, E, K, folate, B6, and B12. Vitamins D, K, and A support bone growth.
Vitamins E and C are antioxidants that help absorb free radicals that damage cells.
Vitamin C is also important for the formation of collagen and connective tissue.
Folate, B6 and B12 all work together to reduce the risk of bone loss and fractures associated with high levels of homocysteine — an amino acid that is often elevated in people with arthritis.
Mineral Supplement
People with inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, are at increased risk of bone loss. Calcium, magnesium, and zinc all have one thing in common: they improve bone health. Calcium, in particular, is the main mineral that helps keep bones strong. Magnesium improves bone mineralization.
Diet rich in phytochemicals
Phytochemicals are natural compounds found in many colorful plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, herbs, and spices.
Phytochemicals have been linked to a reduced risk of various diseases, including reducing inflammatory molecules and oxidative stress associated with arthritis.
