Rheumatism

Rheumatism

Medicine has grouped all the ailments related to the musculoskeletal system under the name "rheumatism". Specifically, it refers to various inflammatory processes of the joints and their components, as well as the muscles and bones, which occur under pain, deterioration of normal function, and even deformation of the structures of one or more parts of the musculoskeletal system.

There are two types of rheumatism: articular and non-articular. Articular rheumatism is found in the joint itself and affects the cartilage or synovial membrane. If the rheumatism is non-articular, it is caused by inflammation of the periarticular structures, such as tendons and muscles.

Symptoms

The clearest and most obvious symptom of rheumatism is pain, whose intensity can vary. It may also be a temporary pain associated with movement (when performing an activity) or a persistent and steady pain that prevents rest and a normal life. In addition to pain, there is sometimes a feeling of stiffness and numbness in the joints. Other common symptoms of rheumatism include swelling in the affected areas, sometimes fever, and changes in other organs and systems of our body.

Nutrition for Rheumatism

It is advisable to follow a diet high in sodium. Vegetable oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids (sesame, soy, walnuts, etc.) are beneficial. A balanced diet should be maintained, as well as keeping an ideal weight, and eating foods rich in fiber. Some recommended foods are: cabbage, turnips, lemon, celery, oily fish, fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, vegetable broths, soups, natural fruit juices, garlic, and onions. Foods to avoid: potatoes, peppers, eggplants, red meats, saturated fats, refined flour, refined sugar, sweets, and alcoholic beverages (or at least in moderation).
