By now I’m feeling very weary, in fact, make that exhausted. I have the same problems as I had making breakfast but by now my fingers are so stiff and sore it’s really awkward and painful putting together my salad. Dr Rosemary said that she would normally recommend people with arthritis to eat oily fish such as salmon and green leafy salad including avocados, any bright vegetables and walnuts. Oily fish contains essential fatty acids such as omega 3 and there is growing evidence that omega 3s can help people with inflammatory arthritis. If you don’t like oily fish or don’t eat it that often it’s a good idea to take a high quality joint care supplement from a trusted brand to make sure you’re getting a regulated amount. When I take supplements I also tend to look for one that has been through a gold standard purification process and combines the benefits of omega 3s as well as glucosamine. Glucosamine helps your body regenerate tissue, something that your body doesn’t do so well as you get older. To find out about supplements that may help you stay supple and flexible.
