Diet & Health Plan for Joint Pain Management

Pain-free life paves the way for enjoying a healthy and happy life. However, consistent pain and discomfort resulting due to it deteriorate the quality of life of many. Joint and muscle pain are some of the most common types of pain affecting numerous individuals worldwide. Any joint of your body, such as shoulder, ankle, wrist, knee, hip, or elbow, may experience pain, and persistent ache may limit your movement. Joint pain can also result due to any other underlying health condition, the strain on certain body parts, injury, age-related disorders, such as arthritis, and other factors. Though opting for painkillers can offer you relief temporarily, they cause side effects. However, having the right healthy diet and promoting internal health with homeopathy and Ayurveda can offer you long-lasting to permanent relief without any side effects.

Here’s a list of some of the best foods that are an integral part of an anti-inflammatory diet or health plan for joint pain.

• Fatty Fish of Fish Oils:

  Fatty fishes, such as sardines, trout, and salmon, have abundant omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their potent anti-inflammatory effects that mitigate the pain. Also, these fishes are good sources of vitamin D, which is essential for bone and joint health. Including fatty fish not just minimize your pain but also enhance your brain function and minimize the risk of heart ailments.

• Nuts and Seeds:

  Vegetarians can count on nuts and seeds for optimal intake of omega-3 fatty acids. Walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, chia seeds, and flax seeds are crucial joint pain supplements that help minimize the inflammation in your connective tissue and aching joint.

• Garlic:

  Garlic is a common yet excellent cooking ingredient that offers anti-inflammatory benefits that help in minimizing joint pain and discomforts of arthritis. Our dieticians recommend it to include in your pain management diet, as it also boosts your immunity by enhancing the function of immune cells.

• Berries:

  Loaded with antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, berries are superfoods for fighting off pain and inflammation. Blueberries contain abundant anthocyanins, which are powerful flavonoids that inhibit the inflammation in your body. Besides blueberries, strawberries and blackberries can help minimize your joint pain.

• Leafy Greens:

  Loaded with nutrients, leafy greens are effective in reducing inflammation and joint pain weakness. Abundant antioxidants in spinach are beneficial in minimizing inflammation, particularly in rheumatoid arthritis. Mustard greens and kale are other leafy greens that you can add to your health plan for pain management.

• Lentils and Beans:

  Packed with proteins, minerals, and fibre, lentils and beans are healthy food sources that also offer anti-inflammatory benefits. They contain flavonoid anthocyanin which helps minimize inflammation. We recommend you add pinto beans, black beans, soybeans, and chickpeas to your pain management diet.

Diet To Avoid Joint Pain

While some foods are essential to reduce the pain naturally, it is important to avoid eating certain foods that trigger inflammation. Have a quick look at a generic diet to avoid joint pain.

• Foods Containing Added Sugar:

  Limit your intake of sugar by avoiding foods containing added sugar. Sugar-sweetened foods happen to worsen joint aches, particularly resulting due to rheumatoid arthritis. Sugary beverages happen to make you prone to arthritis. So, candy, fructose-sweetened fluids, ice cream, and soda are part of the diet to avoid joint pain.

• Gluten-comprising Foods:

  Consuming foods containing gluten may increase inflammation in your body, thereby increasing the risk of joint pain. Individuals with celiac disease are highly prone to develop rheumatoid arthritis. Going gluten-free helps alleviate arthritic pain. So, note that foods rich in gluten, such as wheat, rye, and barley, are part of the diet to avoid joint pain.

• Alcohol:

  Alcohol intake worsens the arthritic pain and discomforts. It also increases the intensity and frequency of gout attacks. Prolonged intake of alcohol increases your risk of developing osteoarthritis. So, avoiding alcohol consumption is a crucial part of joint pain treatment.

• Foods with omega-6 fatty acids:

  High intake of omega-6 fatty acids and a low intake of omega-3 fatty acids can increase inflammation in your body and worsen your pain resulting due to rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. So, our pain management clinic recommends minimizing the intake of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids, certain vegetable oils, and increasing the consumption of foods abundant in omega-3 fatty acids.
