Symptoms of arthrosis.
Arthrosis is a disease of the joints of the bones, the cause of which is the destruction of the cartilaginous tissue of the articular surfaces due to metabolic (nutritional) metabolism. It is known that everything necessary for the regeneration of the joint tissue and the precise work of the joints (nutrients, oxygen) are delivered with blood. In the case, if a person has metabolic disorders or there are problems with blood vessels, much needed nutrients will not work enough, which serves, in the final analysis, as the reason for the destruction of the articular tissues in the human body.
The reasons for this process are very different. This disease can be observed in the elderly, and in people who have suffered injuries and joint diseases, in people experiencing stress due to sports or heavy physical labor, or people who have inactive work.
Nutrition for arthrosis.
In fact, using a diet, to make changes in the metabolic processes inside the joint is very difficult. Nevertheless, proper nutrition promotes an increase in the rate of metabolism within the body, provided that your diet includes all the necessary nutrients (vitamins and minerals). In addition, it's not a secret to anyone that the diet contributes to weight loss, but again with the caveat: your diet should not contain carbohydrates that are easily absorbed by the body, and fats that are refractory. At the same time, developed specifically for arthrosis, the food system does not exist. However, there are a number of tips on proper nutrition in this disease.
First of all, your diet should contain enough nutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins). It is known that proteins serve to build fresh tissue, including joint tissue. After all, we must not forget that at its core, with arthrosis, cartilage is destroyed, and bone tissue replaces it. Therefore, proteins are simply necessary for cartilage, especially contained in milk and its derivatives, since this kind of protein is easily digestible, and calcium, abundantly contained in milk, is needed for fortresses of bones. In addition, do not forget about the proteins of animal nature, contained in meat, but not fat, fish, beans, buckwheat porridge, etc. And for the best absorption of nutrients contained in these products, the dishes from them are better cooked for a couple . Also, for this type of disease, a cold or jelly-like broth from bones with an increased content of cartilaginous tissue (pork, beef legs and so on) is useful. Dishes of this type are rich in protein collagen, making bones and cartilage more durable, and it is present in the ligaments and muscles. In addition, gelatin, contained in various food additives, which helps regenerate bones, is useful.
No less important for patients with arthrosis and carbohydrates. They serve as a source of energy, so necessary for metabolism. However, not everything is so simple, because in nature there are different types of carbohydrates. So, for example, simple sugars, so readily and quickly absorbed by the body, just as quickly turn into subcutaneous fat, after they give a small charge of energy. Complex carbohydrates, on the contrary, are not so quickly absorbed, and the body can draw energy from them longer, while they are not transformed into fats. This, in turn, plays a big role in terms of excess weight, and therefore, the excessive overload experienced by the joints.
At the same time, one should not forget about the importance of fats in the human body. After all, without them, the metabolism proceeds more slowly. However, it should be noted that with a disease such as arthrosis, a person needs only butter and vegetable fats. In turn, fats, which are refractory, contained, for example, in fatty meat, are the cause of the formation of widely known cholesterol plaques inside the blood vessels, which eventually become a hindrance to the normal flow of blood inside.
With regard to vitamins and minerals, their importance in metabolic processes of the body is very difficult to overestimate, given that they are one of the constituent elements of hormones and enzymes that play an important role in the metabolism. In this case, it is worth highlighting vitamins:
- B1 (widely represented in wheat bran, nuts, porridge, lean meat);
- В2 (products from flour of full milling, skim milk and its derivatives);
- B6 (products rich in starch); Folic acid (present in the liver and green vegetables).
It is worth emphasizing that these tips on proper nutrition are not a panacea for a disease such as arthrosis. However, following them in combination with qualified treatment will definitely help you defeat the disease and simply improve your health.
