Age-related disease - pain in the legs, joints - a rather frequent occurrence

Swelling of the ankle joints clearly indicates that the cause of the disease is rheumatoid arthritis, and often it is supplemented by varicose veins in the legs. Later, the disease turns into a more serious disease -

arthrosis.

The onset of arthrosismay be associated with trauma, metabolic disorders, allergies, hypothermia, removal of the gallbladder, and overweight. In cases where there is excessive fullness, the use of foods rich in carbohydrates (sugar, jam, flour dishes) should be limited during treatment. It is also necessary to exclude foods such as brains, kidneys, liver of animals, highly saturated meat broths, plant foods such as sorrel, spinach, radishes, radishes, raspberries, all legumes except soybeans, and increase the proportion of vegetables and fruits. Eliminate strong tea, alcohol.

It is useful in this regard to include lingonberries, birch sap, melon, cabbage, nettles, oats, celery, beans, walnuts, turnips, rowan berries, plums, strawberries, horseradish, garlic, apples, blueberries, black currants, bay leaves in the diet, vinegar, lemon.

Pain in arthritic joints interferes not only with walking, but even lying down. The joints thicken, deform, swell. You have to take painkillers (pills, injections), which have an unpleasant side effect - they flush calcium out of the body. You should reduce the intake of salty foods, sweets, flour dishes. Use more foods rich in potassium salts: cottage cheese, baked potatoes, dried apricots, drink carrot juice on an empty stomach in the morning.

It is necessary to give up the consumption of animal proteins (meat), you should eat more fish (preferably sea), even better fresh. The fish should be sprinkled with lemon juice or vinegar 15 minutes before frying.

Three times a week you can eat cheese, dairy products, eggs, and from plant proteins - lentils, peanuts, soy. For dinner, cereals, pasta, vegetables are recommended. Vegetables and fruits should make up 3/4 of the daily diet.

Why are such restrictions necessary? Why does meat affect the development of arthritis and arthrosis? Many disorders in the body begin with disorders in the metabolism of uric acid, which can be caused by various reasons.

With an excess of proteins in food, uric acid is formed from them in our body. Uric acid can accumulate, for example, with increased cell breakdown. This can happen with a blood disorder and in a number of other cases. Cytotoxic (cell-killing) drugs also cause increased cell decay, i.e. medicines that doctors often prescribe for treatment, for example: aspirin, citramone, askofen and others.

Uric acid can be poorly eliminated in any kidney disease.

Uric acid, which is not excreted by the kidneys, combines with sodium and in the form of salt with the blood stream moves to the legs. It can get stuck in the joints instead of continuing on its way through the body. When it gets into the joint fluid, it is deposited first in the joint capsule, then in the tendons of the joint, and then "begins to deal with" the cartilage. Salt penetrates all the way to the bone and accumulates in the space between the bone and cartilage, destroying both. In addition, uric acid crystals cause inflammation of the joint lining itself. Inflammation of the joint causes a sharp reaction of the surrounding tissues. The disease gradually affects not only joints, but also internal organs, renal tissue is affected. In this case, less fluids are excreted from the body, which leads to an increase in blood pressure.

It is recommended to start treatment of rheumatic diseases with a thorough cleaning of the body and, in the absence of contraindications (inflammation of the esophageal tract, ulcers, appendicitis), with fasting in order to free the body, especially the intestines, from accumulated toxins, which will accelerate recovery.
