Lets have a look at what arthritis is and using fish oil for arthritis relief.
There’s many different forms of arthritis, over 100 actually, but the general cause is the same. Inflammation of the joints and pain and difficulty of movement of the joints. This can be caused by nutritional problems or by repeated movements, repeated heavy lifting and so on.
Nutritional deficiencies or excesses can cause arthritis in several ways. For example chances are youve heard of free radicals. These can damage many parts of your body including your joints and are a result of poor diet and other factors like pollution.
You can combat this by improving your diet to include less processed foods and more fresh fruit and vegetables. This increases the levels of anti oxidants in your body which combats those free radicals.
Inflammation of the joints causes the pain associated with arthritis. Inflammation is a scourge and it can eat away at our joints.
Today I want to look at arthritis and fish oil, or more specifically the role of fish oil in reducing the symptoms of arthritis.
Lots of heath conditions are helped by Omega 3 polyunsaturated fats that are good for you, unlike those bad saturated fats.
There are 2 specific Omega 3 fats called EPA and DHA that are particularly good for you. These are good for your heart and other health conditions and there is now a link found by science between arthritis relief and Omega 3 fats EPA and DHA.
And by increasing our intake of fish oil we can reduce the symptoms of arthritis and the pain of arthritis.
Why would you want to take Omega 3 for arthritis relief? Why does it work? Because, amongst other reasons, Omega 3 fats are extremely effective in combating inflammation, including inflammation in the joints.
Over time taking fish oil supplements will noticeably reduce the pain of arthritis and free up use of the joints.
The benefits of fish oil for arthritis sufferers are now clearly established.
Traditionally sufferers of arthritis have used anti inflammatory drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex. But these can cause significant side effects and Vioxx has in fact been linked to around 140000 cases of heart disease since 1999.
But unlike anti inflammatory drugs fish oil has positive side effects on general health.
Like all these things though there are both good and bad fish oil supplements. Visit my website for a free fish oil buyers guide.
