Junk food and arthritis

I have a report today,the report junk food may weaken joints, leading to painful osteoarthritis, which is the most common form of arthritis in the UK. The pain of arthritis is persistent, this pain is difficult to eliminate, when we need more pain relief patch with the pain, and we should pay attention to the amount of junk food and high fat intake, because they have a close relationship with arthritis

it's not wear and tear but diet that has a lot to do with the onset of osteoarthritis.

'The main function of cartilage is to seal the bone ends in a joint and absorb pressure on the bones during weight-bearing movement such as walking.In our diet containing simple carbohydrates together with 20 per cent saturated fats produced osteoarthritic-like changes in the knee.

The fats included butter, coconut oil, palm oil and animal fat, as well as researchers also investigating simple carbohydrates. Saturated fatty acid deposits in the cartilage change its metabolism and weaken the cartilage, making it more prone to damage.This would, in turn, lead to osteoarthritic pain from the loss of the cushioning effect of cartilage.We also found changes in the bone under the cartilage on a diet rich in saturated fat.Yet, this appeared to only occur in participants eating animal-based fats.The researchers also analysed lauric acid, which is a saturated fatty acid found in coconut oil. Interestingly, when we replaced the meat fat in the diet with lauric acid we found decreased signs of cartilage deterioration and metabolic syndrome so it seems to have a protective effect.

We tested a variety of saturated fats and found that long-term use of animal fat, butter and palm oil could weaken the cartilage.Replacement of traditional diets containing coconut-derived lauric acid with palm oil-derived palmitic acid or animal fat-derived stearic acid has the potential to worsen the development of both metabolic syndrome and osteoarthritis.
