The next node connected to it is phyto-chemicals includes ‘ursolic acid’, ‘ellagic acid’, ‘naringin’, ‘limonene’ and ‘theobromine’.
[0059] Example Diet plan in the data base for person suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis: RA is a systematic auto immune condition that can affect several joints, most commonly the small joints in the hands and feet but can affect knees, hips and shoulder joints too. Several joints can be affected at the same time, usually symmetrically (on both sides of the body), such as both hands. RA causes the joint lining to become inflamed and swollen resulting in destruction of the joint surface, causing extreme tenderness and pain.
[0060] The main symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are: • joint pain • joint swelling, warmth and redness • stiffness, especially early in the morning or after sitting still for a long time.
[0061] Care and Diet: The most important relationship between diet and arthritis is weight. Excess weight can make some specialist medications ineffective. It may increase disease activity and delay remission. If you are carrying more body weight than you should, try to lose excess weight by combining healthy eating with regular exercise.
[0062] Research specifically with RA has shown an improvement in clinical symptoms when people with RA followed a Mediterranean diet; benefits included reduced swollen and tender joints, reduced duration of morning stiffness and improved general wellbeing.
[0063] The Mediterranean way of eating is based on daily intakes of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, beans and pulses, olive oil, wholegrain cereals and regular oily fish and poultry consumption. Research suggests that consumption of a Mediterranean diet (MD) reduces the incidence of clinical symptoms related to the immune system and chronic inflammation. [00641 Nutritional requirements for RA: Dietary Fibre: The gastrointestinal (GI) tract has an upper and lower section. And RA can affect either one. Research shows that people with RA are about 70% more likely to develop a gastrointestinal problem than people without RA.
[0065] The Arthritis Foundation suggests that fiber foods help feed healthy bacteria in the gut, and these bacteria releases substances aimed to reduce inflammation
[0066] Whole grains and Cereals include wheat, com, rice, oats, barley, and rye. Foods like Wholegrain pasta, wholegrain bread, porridge, oat bran, potato skins, sweet potato, beans, baked beans, chickpeas, pulses, vegetables &fruits, especially where you eat the skin and seeds. • Seeds, e.g., linseeds, chia seeds, sunflower • Nuts, e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, peanut butter are a source of key nutrients such as antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibre.
[0067] Prebiotics and Probiotics: For people with RA, probiotics &prebiotics may help regulate the digestive microbiome and reduce inflammation in the digestive tract. They may also affect the immune response, which abnormally attacks the body during an RA flare. Fat free yogurts help for gut health.
[0068] Fish and Omega-3 fatty acids: Eat more oily fish Fish such as sardines, mackerel, herring, fresh tuna, salmon, and snapper have a darker flesh which is rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fats. In addition to their heart-health benefits, fish oils have been shown to help dampen general inflammation and may help to reduce joint pain and stiffness. Try to eat two portions (1 portion = 140g or a small fillet) of oily fish a week. Some eggs and breads are enriched with omega-3. Omega-3 fats from plant sources (GLA) such as linseed, evening primrose and borage oils have a weaker effect on reducing inflammation and are of limited benefit.
[0069] Fruits, Vegetables and Antioxidants: Antioxidants are phytochemicals, non-nutrient plant compounds present in fruits and vegetables. Their regular consumption has been shown to diminish the symptoms of chronic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.
[0070] Antioxidants are found extensively in fruits and vegetables, particularly brightly coloured varieties such as oranges, apricots, mangos, carrots, peppers / capsicums, and tomatoes. The most common antioxidants are vitamins C, E and A. Fruit and vegetables are also low in calories and can help support a healthy diet and weight loss.
[0071] Vitamins and Minerals: • Iron, calcium and vitamin-D deficiencies are very common with RA people. • Foods rich in Iron- Lean meat, eggs, green leafy vegetables, peas, beans, lentils and fortified breakfast cereals • Calcium rich foods- Choose lower-fat varieties of milk, i.e. semi-skimmed or skimmed, as they have the same calcium, If using soya milk or other alternatives, use calcium-enriched products. Yoghurt, cheese, almonds, sardines / pilchards, fortified soy drinks, dark green leafy vegetables, fortified cereal and milk or milk-substitutes.
[0072] Vitamin-D sources - Vitamin D is needed to help the body absorb calcium. Approximately 20% of daily Vitamin D requirement is obtained from the diet; the remaining 80% come from exposure to the sun on the skin. Oily fish, fortified breakfast cereal, fortified margarine are good sources of Vitamin-D.
[0073] Foods to avoid: Red meat- red meat contains high levels of saturated fat, which can exacerbate inflammation and also contribute to obesity. Red meat also contains omega-6 fatty acids, which can contribute to inflammation if your intake is too high.
[0074] Sugar and refined flour: Your blood sugar levels can surge after you've eaten simple carbohydrates that are easily broken down by the body. Such foods include sugary snacks and drinks, white-flour bread and pasta, and white rice. A spike in your blood sugar prompts the body to produce pro-inflammatory chemicals called cytokines, which can worsen your RA symptoms if the inflammation affects your joints.
[0075] Fried Foods: Cutting out fried foods can reduce your levels of inflammation.
[0076] Gluten: A protein found in grains such as wheat, rye, and barley, may contribute to inflammation in some people as every person’s body is different from others.
[0077] Alcohol: Drinking too much alcohol can cause a spike in the body's levels of C-reactive protein, CRP is a powerful signal of inflammation, and the study's findings indicate that overindulgence in alcohol could increase inflammation and be detrimental to RA.
[0078] Processed foods: Processed foods and ready-to-eat meals tend to be loaded with ingredients that cause inflammation.
