Arthritis friendly foods…..

from the Food Medicine Book (actually I found this in a forum that I stumbled upon… blah I detest food forums…..lol, I mean the ones where the radicals hang out…. often vegetarian and mad. If anyone knows of a nice vegetarian forum, one with good info. please share if you could. Thanks. Would be so helpful.

….Friendly…..umeboshi plums, sprouts, sea vegetables, herbs, flaxseed oil,avocado, olive oil, green tea, chlorophyll, macadamias, tumeric, alfalfa, spelt, soy, cabbage, beetroot, celery, shallots, chives, foods high in calcium (NO CLUE what umeboshi plums are and I do not like macadamia nuts… find them blah. Hmmm……)

foods to avoid
animal fats- including dairy and red and white meat, processed wheat, processed and refined oils, coffee, alcohol, refined sugar, garlic, hot spices, the night shade family of vegetables, citrus fruits, excess salt, rhubarb, cranberry, plums, silverbeet (I knew citrus was bad but I love it. Same with anything tomato! Moderation I suspect! I KNOW people who are ingesting cranberry by the buckets in order to relieve symptoms of arthritis….)

Just thought I would share. As much for me as for all who care. Love ya. Have a great day!
