👊 3 FOODS MUST AVOID IF YOU WANT TO GET OSTEOARTHRITIS
Surely everyone knows that food greatly affects our health, especially osteoarthritis, but few people really pay attention to this problem until osteoarthritis becomes a complication.
Sugar
Added sugars are found in many processed foods, such as baked goods, sugary drinks, and candy. Condiments like barbecue sauce also contains large amounts of added sugar.
Research has shown that consuming too much sugar increases inflammation and a greater likelihood of obesity, which can impair the health of your joints.
Salt
Salt is an important part of a healthy diet because it helps your body function properly. Too much salt can cause you to retain too much fluid. This can increase inflammation and swelling in the joints.
Most of the sodium in the diet (about 70%) comes from processed and processed foods. So an easy way to control your sodium intake is to check the nutrition labels on the foods you buy.
Use the "% daily value" (DV) column as a tool when you shop. Five percent DV or less sodium is low; 20% or more is too high.
Saturation Fat and Trans Fats
A diet high in saturated fat is associated with increased inflammation in the body. Foods that are high in saturated fat include butter, red meat, processed meats, full-fat dairy, fast food, fried foods, and coconut.6
Small amounts of trans fatty acids naturally occur in some animal products. It can also be artificially created during processing and is used to add texture, flavor, and extend shelf life.
Trans fat increases "bad cholesterol" levels (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL). It has been closely linked with systemic inflammation
