Goals of the Diet

• Introduce anti-inflammatory foods to limit joint pain
• Supply calcium, vitamin D, and collagen-supporting nutrients for bones and cartilage
• Keep lean body weight with nutrient-dense food
• Preserve muscle strength with adequate protein
• Avoid foods that cause inflammation

Lifestyle Tips

• Healthy weight to decrease joint pressure

• Do strength training (under supervision) to stabilize joints

An osteoarthritis diet must be abundant in anti-inflammatory food (turmeric, ginger, flaxseeds, leafy greens, fatty fish), calcium and vitamin D to strengthen bone, and protein to facilitate muscle growth. Fried food, sugars, processed food, and red meat avoidance can also limit flare-ups. Dietary reform accompanied by exercise, weight management, and lifestyle modification can minimize pain, stiffness, and enhance mobility in osteoarthritis patients.
