Eating Habits & HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR JOINTS
Relieving arthritis or joint pain may be easier than you think! The solution may be as simple as paying attention to what you are eating in order to avoid inflammatory foods that often lead to pain. What Inflammatory Foods Lead to Pain? Eatinghighly processed foods (suchaspasta, breadandcrackers— especially those containing gluten) creates inflammation in the body. This inflammation then leads to the actual physical pain that you may feel in your knees and joints since the joints are particularly vulnerable to inflammation. Foods with gluten, trans fats, found in snack foods like chips and pastries, and high sugar, that handful of M&M’s from your coworkers desk, all cause inflammation. For many people, dairy products are also inflammatory. Eating these types of foods over a long period of time means more and more inflammation throughout the body and ultimately more pain.
“This nutritional diet has actually been working!” “My husband and I have always been very health conscious but once I got pregnant I lost sight of my fitness goals and focused all of my energy on preparing for this new adventure of becoming parents. During my pregnancy, I gained 50lbs and for the past year and a half, I have really been struggling to lose the baby weight. With all the added responsibilities of parenthood along with my marriage and career, I thought I would never be able to lose the weight. I joined the gym, but never had time to work out... I tried weigh-watchers but that also didn’t last very long. One day I realized that I was basing my fitness goals on what has worked for other people instead of basing it off of my life and what is actually practical and obtainable for me. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking Keto Meals for husband, I have been cooking Keto for him for a few years now. I decided that I might as well give it a try because well, I am already cooking the food so why not! To my surprise this nutritional diet has actually been working really well for me and for my home life! Being able to share the same nutrition plan as my husband has really made it a much more enjoyable journey for me. It doesn’t even feel like I have any restrictions because I get to enjoy meals with the people that I love. I’ve surrounded myself with people who support my health decisions and I listen to my body/mind instead of listening to the negativity of the people on the outside looking in. When you make a decision to change something in your life, especially when that change is something people don’t understand they will show resistance to your change. You just have to learn to listen to yourself and make changes in your life for you, not for those around you. Don’t worry so much about what everyone else is doing, try to find something that fits your lifestyle and incorporate changes in little-by-little. But mainly, make sure you are doing it for you! That’s what has always worked for me.” - Jaymee V. Jaymee made the decision on her own to make changes in her life for her own health.
