Importance of Diet

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory type of arthritis that impacts, mainly, the spine and sacroiliac joints. Together with medical treatment and exercise, diet has an important role to play in:

• Reduction of inflammation and stiffness
• Bone health support (calcium & vitamin D)
• Muscle strength and mobility maintenance
• Prevention of deficiency of nutrients by chronic inflammation or medication
• Weight support, joint stress reduction

Goals of the Diet

• Supply anti-inflammatory foods (omega-3s, antioxidants, spices)
• Support bones and cartilage with calcium, vitamin D, and protein
• Optimize gut health (critical in autoimmune disorders)
• Healthy weight to prevent pressure over hips and spine
• Prevent foods that cause inflammation
