Rheumatism has a negative effect on the connective tissue of the heart, muscles, joints, internal organs. It turns out that women, children and adolescents are more likely to suffer from rheumatic pains. The causative agent of the disease is streptococcus hemolytic.

Also, this vitamin stimulates the production of glucocorticoid hormones. If the body lacks vitamin C, this makes the connective tissue vulnerable enough to streptococcal antigen. Moreover, the carbohydrate metabolism is hampered, the enzymatic processes in connective tissue and liver become worse.

Vitamins of group B very well reflect on the efficiency of the heart muscle. Thanks to them, coronary circulation improves, the heart rhythm stabilizes.

Excess in the diet of carbohydrate food will contribute to the occurrence of allergic reactions. That is why in the diet of patients with acute rheumatism the amount of carbohydrates should not be above 300-400 g per day.

When circulatory disturbance, it is important to limit the intake of table salt and liquid. With cardiovascular insufficiency, it is important to reduce the average daily calorie content of food by reducing protein and fat. Food should be well fortified, especially vitamins A, B, C.
