Healing Arthritis with Natural Foods

Arthritis is a painful, debilitating condition. What if there was a way to ease your symptoms naturally?
As you age, your joint cartilage begins to wear away (the main protector of your joint), causing your bones to rub against each other and resulting in inflammation, excruciating pain and damaged joints.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis affects roughly 46 million adults and 300,000 children in America alone.

What if there was a way to ease your symptoms naturally?

A new field of study links chronic inflammation not only to the development of arthritis, but also to all other lifestyle diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. There is no doubt that both short- and long-term health requires constant attention to a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle.

If you're suffering from arthritis or any kind of pain, the first thing you should do is change your diet from acids (alcohol, red meats, saturated fats) to alkaline (fruits and veggies, specifically lemon and watermelon). Another important step is to begin taking supplements that contain glucosamine sulfate.

A multi award-winning journalist and New York Times best-selling author, Gary Null, PhD, shares his favorite foods to heal your arthritis pain in a natural way.
