BOOK EXCERPT
ARTHRITIS DIETS
The arthritis diet is a very important aspect of natural arthritis treatment since the arthritis foods can help reduce joint pains. Dietary modifications that you can institute to complement your conventional arthritis treatment include:
1. Increase antioxidant rich foods such as carrots, dark green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons as well as sunflower oil. This is because antioxidants such as vitamin A, C, E and selenium help reduce the inflammation in the joints.

ARTHRITIS SUPPLEMENTS
Nutritional supplements that you can take to round off your natural arthritis treatment include:
1. A daily multi-vitamin, multi-mineral supplement that is well balanced and contains:
a) Vitamin C which is needed for collagen repair
b) Calcium and vitamin D which are crucial for bone health

ARTHRITIS HERBS
Herbs that may be beneficial for the management of arthritis include:
1. Turmeric the yellow spice, is effective in reducing the pain and inflammation of arthritis because it contains the anti-inflammatory curcumin. Add it to your sauces and rice dishes.

ARTHRITIS AND LIFESTYLE
Lifestyle modifications are some of the best natural remedies for arthritis regardless of whether it is rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Lifestyle modifications that are beneficial for natural arthritis treatment include:
1. Loosing excess weight
Losing weight is vital for natural arthritis treatment if you are overweight as the excess weight places extra pressure on the knees, hips, and ankles. In overweight and obese patients, weight loss can significantly relieve pain, most likely by reducing the stress exerted on the joint during weight bearing activities such as walking.
