Return To Arthritis Article Archive   New Supplements For Arthritis By Stewart Hare 'Arthritis' means inflammation of a joint and the two major forms of arthritis are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. Common in the elderly is the Osteoarthritis; this mainly affects the weight-bearing joints such as the hips, spine, knees, elbows and also the finger joints. The cartilage is worn away producing pain and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect the whole body not just the joints. A diet high in fruits and vegetables (vitamin C and E) can slow the onslaught of Arthritis and also reduce pain and inflammation. Eating oily fish such as salmon, tuna, herring, mackerel, trout, sardines which are high in Omega-3 fish oil which has an anti-inflammatory effect may be beneficial in reducing inflammation, swelling and pain. Avoiding adrenal stimulants such as coffee, tea, sugar, alcohol and refined carbohydrates and drinking plenty of mineral water will also help. Losing excess weight, gentle exercise, applying hot and cold compresses and sleeping on a comfortable bed will also be beneficial. The following supplements may help if you are suffering from Arthritis. Aloe vera Antioxidant complex Bone mineral complex Cod liver oil - high strength Devil's claw extract Glucosamine sulphate Multivitamin and multiminerals New Zealand green-lipped mussel extract Omega-3 fish oil Vitamin B5 Vitamin C Vitamin E Note: •This article is not intended as a substitute for the medical advice, recommendation or treatment of a qualified medical practitioner. •The content of this article is intended as general information and for educational purposes only. •Any person suffering from a condition which needs medical attention should consult a qualified medical practitioner. •Any person who has symptoms that are causing concern should consult a qualified medical practitioner. •Always consult with a qualified medical practitioner before changing your diet.
