Arthritis nutrition
Almost every adult on Earth and many children will have suffered from some form of Arthritis before they cross to the other side. It is one of the most common diseases on the planet, and effects millions of adults and children, so Arthritis nutrition should be an interesting and useful subject to many people. Some of the most common forms of the disease are:
- Osteoarthritis – the most rampant form of the disease that causes degeneration of the cartilage that covers the ends of bones. This loss results in pain and difficulty of movement as bone rubs against bone.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis - an auto-immune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks and inflames the joint lining. Rheumatoid arthritis affects mostly women, and can be severely disabling and disfiguring.
- Gout - usually results from a metabolic defect. Gout can be extremely painful, and most often attacks small joints, especially the big toe and ankle. Gout affects mostly men
- Ankylosing Spondylitis – a type of arthritis in which inflammation causes the bones of the spine to grow together
- Juvenile Arthritis - an umbrella term for all types of arthritis that occur in children. Most non-osteo forms of arthritis have been observed in children as well as adults
Goji berries are one of the most effective forms of Arthritis nutrition available, and a regular daily dose of between 10 and 30 grams has been shown to increase the body’s production of
the enzyme superoxide dismutase by some 40%, so increasing the body’s ability to counter inflammatory pain.
The pain generated by arthritis is caused by chronic inflammation, and any form of nutrition that alleviates that pain can only be beneficial to the body. There are other products such as MSM that can and do help some arthritis, but the great thing about the goji berry is that it is a nutrition product that causes the body to naturally produce more of its own pain-relieving enzyme, superoxide dismutase
