Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of
inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and
tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than in
men and generally occurs after the ages of 40 and diminishes the quality
of life of many elders.
In conventional medicine, there is no known way to prevent rheumatoid
arthritis, although progression of the disease usually can be stopped
or slowed by early, aggressive treatment. Since Rheumatoid Arthritis RA
is caused by inflammation of flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and
organs in the body, diet with high in anti inflammatory and immunity
enhancing foods, antioxidants and phytochemicals may provide protection
and reduced risk of the disease.
Antioxidants and Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA)(49)
Antioxidants found abundantly in fruits and vegetables can enhance the
immune system fighting against forming of free radicals causes of
irregular cell growth and foreign invasion of inflammation and
infection.
a. Vitamin C
Vitamin C beside is vital in restoring the antioxidants vitamin E in
scavenging the free radicals before they can become harmful to the body,
it also protects the capillaries by preventing them from breaking off,
triggering an inflammatory reaction. Other study found that vitamin C
also reduces the risk of cartilage loss and developing knee pain.
b. Vitamin E and fish oil
In genetically altered mice study, researcher found that diet included
fish oil plus vitamin E significantly reduce the levels of inflammation
by analyzing the pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the blood serum.
c. Glucosamine
Since glucosamine, a compound of the simple sugar glucose and the amino
acid glutamine, is a precursor for glycosaminoglycans, and they are a
major component of joint cartilage. Study found that supplemental
glucosamine may help to prevent cartilage degeneration and treat
arthritis.
d. DLPA (dl- phenylalanine)
DLPA, a mixture of D-Phenylalanine and L-Phenylalanine, is a nutritional
supplement amino acid. Researchers found that DLPA effectively reduces
arthritis pain and joint inflammation in many patients.
e. Glucosamine and Methylsulfonylmethane
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study with osteoarthritis of the
knee were given a combination of glucosamine and MSM, or placebo. After
12 weeks, the results suggested combination of MSM and glucosamine may
improve arthritis symptoms as compared to placebo.
