Food for Arthritis

Patient with arthritis should not be taking food that contains high protein because the excess will be turned into uric acid which will cause more pain and damage. In normal circumstances uric acid will be terminated from your body through urination but some of it also will accumulate through the years and arthritis or gout will be born.

Did you know even Milk have to be chosen wisely?

Stay with nature as close as you can and that means do not lose the true nature of the food. Basically many types of Milk is in the market which often being commercialize and exaggerated of its benefit. I, myself always take Full Cream Milk because it is as close as you can get to the fresh milk taken from a cow. Think rationally and be Sherlock for a moment here. We do know not all fats are bad and I never seen anyone drink Full Cream Milk become fat. You also have to think how many process do the milk need to go and what things will be added and extracted when those milk will eventually label as LOW FAT, contains DHA or more calcium for Bones. Throughout all these unnecessary process the milk will lose its benefit and freshness.

Don’t we all learn at school that milk, just milk ( no mentioning on whether it’s Low Fat or ect) is good for our health and body ?

So stay close to mother nature and you’ll be rewarded with health for the whole family and in much more cheaper way too.

STAY AWAY from processed food!!

Don’t get me wrong. It doesn’t mean you have to stay away from tinned food ( like Ikan Sardin which is so popular in Malaysia) only, even regular kitchen products such as rice, sugar, flour, salt and so on. A lot of Chinese people in Malaysia have this awareness and you can see them eating brown rice and using brown sugar which is the true nature color of the said products. Only after processed that the products becoming white which is naturally the color we like and we trust ( wink wink ). Not only processed food but we also have to be extra careful to the vegetables nowadays. A lot of pesticides being used by farmers to get beautiful veggies and it will cause damage to us as well. Sometimes, I think it’s better not to take veggies if you cannot afford to buy the organic one. For what you eat if it’s only added to the accumulation of toxic in your body.

For arthritis patients it is important that they stay away from nuts and seafood. It can make their conditions worsen and painful. They also need to stay away from veggies such as Tomato, Eggplant and lots of cold types veggies. Some patients can take some of the food listed above without problems. The most important thing is experiment yourself with those foods. It will give you better view of what you can and cannot eat.

P/s : All of the above has been written from my own opinion and through a lot of readings..
