Because of this, the joints become stiffer, the simplest movements bring unbearable pain, and swelling often occurs in the affected area. When the joints become stiff, it is called osteoarthritis.
The disease usually affects the joints of the hands, knees, lower back, hips and neck. The disease can appear at any age, but is more common in people over 50 years of age. The disease occurs due to excessive stress in sports or certain professions, due to obesity, weak muscles or joint injuries. The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain with movement, joint stiffness and swelling.
Certain foods will help reduce inflammation and, accordingly, reduce pain during the disease. One of the first to be called fruits. It is important that these are citrus fruits, as they are rich in vitamin C. According to experts, it is this substance that prevents inflammatory arthritis.
In addition to citrus fruits, fish, for example, salmon, tuna, mackerel and herring. The fact is that this product is rich in omega-three fatty acids, which also reduce joint inflammation. Legumes, garlic, leeks and olive oil are no less useful.
