Nutrition principles

The balance of nutrients in the daily menu is the main principle of proper nutrition for arthrosis.

This can also include:

• regularity of admission;
• diversity;
• energy value adequate to consumption;
• easy digestibility and assimilation;
• a large amount of fluid consumed;
• freshness of preparation.

The number of receptions should be 4-5 times, at a strictly defined time. Dinner should be taken 3.5 hours before bedtime. A variety of food should provide the musculoskeletal system with useful substances in full. If excess weight is present, it must be dealt with, since every extra kilogram is a negative load for diseased joints.

To solve this problem, you should replace cottage cheese and medium fat cheese with low fat. It is also necessary to reduce the amount of bread consumed. For ease of control, you need to know the body mass index. Weight should be divided by height in meters squared.

Normal body mass index = 20-25. With obesity I degree - 25-30, II degree - 30-40, III degree - more than 40.

Proteins and carbohydrates cannot be combined in one dish. Moreover, you cannot eat fruit after meat. The speed of digestion of fruits is 15–20 minutes. The rate of digestion of animal proteins is about 2 hours. Therefore, digested fruits are not evacuated from the stomach until the meat is digested. As a result, fermentation occurs, which leads to indigestion. Fruit is best eaten 30 minutes before meals. Proteins of animal and vegetable origin should also not be combined in the same dish.

Features of nutrition for arthrosis

Remove from the menu:

• spicy and very spicy dishes;
• yeast dough products, fresh bread, peas and dishes made from it, carbonated drinks;
• fatty meats;
• strong, rich broths;
• jerky and sausage products;
• dried and salted fish;
• fried foods;
• strong tea and coffee without milk (no more than 1 cup per day).

It is necessary to limit:

• pickles;
• the amount of table salt in dishes (it is better to use sea salt);
• offal (tongue, kidneys, lungs).

It should be included in the diet without fail:

• various types of jellies, without flavors and dyes;
• jellied fish and lean meat in gelatin rather than concentrated broth;
• a large amount of clean water;
• vitamins and minerals.

Foods that contain vitamins and minerals necessary for arthrosis:

• calcium - fresh eggs, cheese, medium fat cottage cheese, liver, milk, heart, nuts, wholemeal flour, artichokes;
• phosphorus - bran, salads, soy pods, natural cheeses, fish, seafood;
• magnesium - sunflower seeds, nuts, avocados, spinach, bean pods, buckwheat;
• manganese - natural cheeses, liver, heart, poultry, egg yolk, seaweed, beans, bananas, almonds, walnuts;

• B vitamins - beef liver, fish, seafood, eggs, milk, grains of barley, oats, buckwheat, heart, oranges, bananas, avocados;
• vitamins of group C - apples, pears, plums, bell peppers, white cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, citrus fruits, black currants, greens;

Spices: pros and cons

All diets are based on light food, one that contains a minimum of hot spices. But at the same time, useful and necessary herbs are often forgotten. These include:

• coriander;
• basil;
• turmeric;
• ginger;
• cinnamon;
• oregano;
• parsley;
• dill;
• a mixture of different peppers.

All of these spices can be combined to taste and used with apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil as marinades, replacing mayonnaise. Some of them (cinnamon, ginger) can be added to sweet dishes. All of them are suitable for adding to soups and cereals. Separately, it should be said about drinks with ginger. Tea or broth should be drunk at least every other day. Try to use ginger drinks in the morning, as they invigorate and have a diuretic effect.
