One of the most common ailments of the population of aging Americans is arthritis; yet with all the information on arthritis, we have yet to discover a cure. Could is possibly be because the cure lies in the food we eat and the daily exercise regimen that we find so hard to implement?
Information on arthritis exists in every venue in America; if you go to the bookstore, there is a massive amount of literature on arthritis and arthritis cures. Look on the internet, and you find even more information. Yet, more of the population than ever before suffers from this malady, so what is happening?
When you examine all the research and information available, there are some consistent elements that always appear: exercise and diet. This information is consistent with the changes in lifestyle and diet that have occurred over the last 50 or so years, and maybe bears more scrutiny.
The processed foods we eat in huge quantities today, are missing the antioxidants and vitamins that our food of less than a century ago, contained in every meal. Is there a direct connection to the lack of antioxidants and the increasing occurrence of arthritis?
Information On Arthritis Is Abundant
Information on arthritis as I stated earlier, is abundant. We should be able to take this information and apply it to our personal lives, and expect some improvement; yet quite often this doesn’t happen. Why? Because our desire for improved health is not greater than our desire for dessert, or canned food and we therefore do not alter our diets.
The pain and inflammation that is a result of an arthritic condition can be very painful and debilitating; the medicine that we can take is sometimes toxic. This information on arthritis alone, should motivate us to make improvements in our diet and exercise habits.
