| If you have arthritis, it is important to maintain normal weight to avoid putting added stress upon bones; and adequate amounts of calcium should be consumed to prevent onset of osteoporosis. Some studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and flaxseed and flaxseed oil may be of benefit to those suffering from arthritis by reducing inflammation. Optimal amounts of the antioxidant vitamin, vitamin C, may be beneficial for people suffering from arthritis. Recent studies also suggest that green tea may help prevent onset of arthritis as well as reduce severity of inflammation caused by arthritis. Polyphenols in green tea function as potent antioxidants and protect the body from oxidative stress. Studies have shown that if you consume approximately four cups of green tea a day you may be able to protect yourself from developing arthritis, and if you have arthritis, consuming green tea can help to diminish inflammation caused by arthritis.
