Rheumatoid diseases involve conditions associated with pain and functional limitations of the musculoskeletal system and as such, diseases of the peripheral joints have to be differentiated from diseases affecting the root skeleton and the ones affecting connective tissues. People adversely affected by rheumatoid arthritis, are known to benefit from an anti-inflammatory nutritional therapy, as it is described in this book.
This diet is low in inflammation-promoting arachidonic acid and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to reduce inflammatory reactions. At least 800.000 people in Germany suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease is characterised by the progressive degradation of cartilage. As part of the nutritional therapy, sufferers of osteoarthritis benefit from a healthy, balanced diet that helps to reduce weight and to prevent weight gain. Patients suffering from osteoarthritis often develop secondary inflammatory complications (activated osteoarthritis) and, hence, benefit from a similar diet recommended in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
