Prevent or ease arthritis with food choices

(NC)—Can dietary choices prevent the pain and stiffness of arthritis? Research suggests a low protein diet high in complex carbohydrates as a preventive basic. It is also important to get moderate exercise and avoid foods that cause inflammation that is a key component of arthritis risk and other non-optimum health conditions. Use natural joint supportive supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates, MSM, Celadrin, Osteo Joint Ease, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium/magnesium and vitamin D to ensure adequate dietary intake of key nutrients.
