We had another positive Support Group gathering on September 29th, where I talked about joints and how food can help alleviate various symptoms. As Coeliacs and Free From Foodies often have to exclude food groups, there is a danger of mal-nourishment and deficiencies creeping in. This can lead to poor joint and skeletal health. It's important to understand how to replace excluded foods with alternatives, so problems don't crop up.
Watch out that you dont have a diet heavy with Omega 6 oils, as this can effect how Omega 3 works. Plenty of oily fish, nuts, seeds, avocado and wholegrains will help.
Plenty of green vegetables, use ginger and turmeric when cooking, berries, pumpkin, squash, papaya, collard, apricots and elderberry; are all known to help joints.
Remember though, that even if a food is good for you, dont gorge on it, eat it in moderation, along with other foods, mono eating can be just as unhealthy as excluding altogether.
