Specialists of the European Orthopedic Association named the five most useful products for joints, which are most effective in the summer season:.
Sweet pepper - it contains a lot of ascorbic and acids, which activate the tone of small vessels feeding cartilage.
Fresh garlic and wild garlic due to phytoncides that remove inflammation.
Spinach, parsley with vitamin K, which helps to renew tissues.
Cherry - its active substances help the excretion of salts. Those who suffer from gout are recommended to eat a handful of fresh cherries a day.
Young goat cheese and cottage cheese - in the summer of them calcium is better absorbed, because we are more in the sun, and also, when goats and cows eat fresh grass, rather than hay, dairy products have more vitamins and useful amino acids.
Also, as the rheumatologist told us. Vera Lyalin, it is noticed that beneficial effects on joints are provided by such products as asparagus, pumpkin, and even avocado (eat 1 piece of medium size for a week). They contain many substances that support the elasticity of cartilage tissue, magnesium and B vitamins.
All vegetable oils are also useful, seeds - pumpkin, sesame, sunflower.
But many patients note that joints are worse after tomatoes and all nightshade, red meat (beef, especially in fried or dried), canned food.
Of course, with a decrease in bone density and initial signs of destruction of cartilage, gelling substances. So, more often prepare a chill, jellied with chicken and fish. By the way, the effect of gelling substances from food products surpasses the effect of many pharmacy complexes.
BY THE WAY The main summer rules for joints - There is no need to warm the sick joints: if there is inflammation, it will be worse. The same goes for tanning: if you have problems with veins or joints, do not stay in direct sunlight for more than 5 minutes at a time.
- Arthrosis inflamed joints are well helped by cold (cryotherapy). After a hot day, when your legs are tired and buzzing, make an ice compress: put a terry towel on the sick joint, and on top a packet of ice. Sit like this for 20 minutes. It reduces pain and swelling, improves blood circulation.
- From sanatorium procedures for problem joints are good swimming, baths with sea salt, physiotherapy (for example, ultrasound, phonophoresis, rhodonous baths).
- If you have a long flight or a caravan on vacation by car, those who have joints or veins on their legs, before the road, it is better to put on compression knitwear (knee socks, knee pads or simply bandage the problem area with a compression bandage). This will improve venous tone, reduce the risk of thrombosis.
