Arthritis may not be a consequence of the deterioration of the cartilage between the joints, as is commonly assumed. Experts in the field of healthy eating found that a diet with a large number of fibers reduces the risk of this painful disorder by 61%. The maintenance of a sufficient number of fibers in the diet significantly reduces the risk of arthritis, according to researchers. The people who received the maximum number of fibers were 61% less likely to experience this disorder than those who consumed the minimum amount of dietary fiber.

The use of a large volume of fibers that are contained in brown rice, potato peel and other vegetables, also prevents the worsening of arthritis symptoms in those who have already become a victim of this disease.

This discovery can refute the theory that arthritis is the result of simple wear of the cartilage, which is a lining between the bones. It is believed that if the cartilage can not repair itself, it leads to arthritis. However, scientists from the universities of Tufts, Boston and Manchester led a meta-analysis of two studies involving more than 5,000 people. He showed that the risk of arthritis can be significantly reduced through proper nutrition, which means that the development of this disease largely depends on what the person puts on the plate.

The results of the study showed that the use of dietary fiber, and especially those contained in cereal crops, reduces the risk of developing arthritis and the danger of worsening of its symptoms.

If you have already become a victim of osteoarthritis, it is very important to adhere to a healthy balanced diet, maintain weight and maintain physical activity.

Note that scientists from the University of Surrey recently discovered the ability of proper nutrition and regular exercise to prevent arthritis. But the wrong diet and low physical activity reprogrammed the joints, which led to increased production of glucose, causing inflammation and low mobility.
