Relieve Your Pain, with a Better Arthritis Diet
People who suffer from arthritis are always looking for ways
to relieve their pain. One way to ease
or even prevent it is through an arthritis diet. There are some arthritis diets that some
people will swear by, but have never been proven to make a difference. There are some diets that make a definite
difference according to health experts.
First we’ll take a look at some arthritis diets where
there’s little or no evidence that they actually make a difference. One of the most common arthritis diets is to
eliminate potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, and most peppers. While the diet won’t do any harm, it hasn’t
been proven to affect arthritis at all. Another
arthritis diet seeks to reduce the acids in one’s body eliminating sugar,
coffee, red meat, most grains, nuts, and citrus fruits. It’s intended to be followed for just one
month. People may feel better because
they lose weight which reduces the stress on their joints, but again there is
no evidence to support this. It also
excludes many sources of vitamin C which is essential in fighting arthritis. Drinking green tea has been shown to reduce
the effects of rheumatoid arthritis in mice, but there are no conclusive
results on human studies yet. Shark cartilage
is supposed to relieve arthritis. Animal
and lab studies show promise, but there are no human studies to support this
yet.
Not let’s take a look at some arthritis diets that have been
shown to work. Switching fats can reduce
inflammation. Eating fats found in red
meat and poultry have actually been shown to increase inflammation. Switching to cold water fish can help reduce
the inflammation. Using corn, safflower,
and sunflower oils also helps. Another
arthritis diet is the ASU (avocado-soybean unsaponifiable). It has been shown to relieve osteoarthritis,
stimulate cartilage repair, and lessen a patient’s need to NSAIDs to control
pain. Ginger has been shown to ease pain
and inflammation as well as protect the stomach from gastrointestinal effects
from taking NSAIDs. Glucosamine is a
supplement that relieves pain in some patients with osteoarthritis. It helps the body rebuild cartilage, but can
take up to two months to see the effects.
If you are allergic to shellfish, check with your doctor before taking
this as it is derived from crab, lobster, or shrimp shells. Before taking any supplements talk with your
doctor as some can interfere with or worsen side effects from your medications.
Of course the best arthritis diet is a good old-fashioned
well balanced diet. Eat 5 to 9 servings
of fruits and vegetables, and go easy on fats and cholesterol. A heart healthy diet is especially important
to patients with rheumatoid arthritis as studies have shown a link between this
disease and heart failure. Vitamin C is
good for repairing body tissue. Vitamin
D helps absorb calcium, build bone mass, and prevents bone loss. Calcium helps strengthen your bones. If you are on medication, ask your doctor if
he/she recommends taking vitamins. Some
medications can create vitamin or mineral deficiencies. When choosing your arthritis diet, be sure to
talk with your physician as different types of arthritis have different needs.
Bangladesh Informations
Bangladesh emerged as an independent and sovereign country in 1971 following a ninemonth war of liberation. It is one of the largest deltas of the world with a total area of 147,570 sq. km. With a unique communal harmony, Bangladesh has a population of about 142 million, making it one of the densely populated countries of the world. The majority (about 88%) of the people are Muslim.

Bangladesh has a glorious history and rich heritage. Once it was known as ‘Sonar Bangla’ or the Golden Bengal. The territory now constituting Bangladesh was under the Muslim rule for over five and a half centuries from 1201 to 1757 AD. Subsequently, it came under the British rule following the defeat of the sovereign ruler, Nawab Sirajuddaula, at the battle of Palassey on 23 June, 1757. The British ruled over the Indian sub-continent including this territory for nearly 190 years from 1757 to 1947.

With the termination of British rule in August 1947, the sub-continent was partitioned into India and Pakistan. Bangladesh formed a part of Pakistan and was called ‘East Pakistan’. It remained so for about 24 years from August 14, 1947 to March 25, 1971.
