Hi ...... I'm 40 years old, I'm diagnosed in the 2nd stage of arthritis associated with hypermobility syndrome. The pain begins now with colder weather.
To that, I work at a private rehabilitation clinic in Prague, I meet people with heavy arthritis condition.
I just tried the "Keto Diet" for over the month - I feel some relief with the Joint pain, I lost about 12 pounds - feel lighter :). I think there is less weight pressing on the joints.
I try to do more walking, every day, at least 1 kilometer.
Does somebody have any experience with the changing diet versus joint pain??

    It's well-known that losing weight can reduce joint pain but it won't undo any joint damage already present. It can also help to slow the spread of the disease. I know that too much acid in my diet aggravates my OA but lack of acid doesn't improve it. :roll: DD

    I think it's generally acknowledged that a healthy, Mediterranean-type of diet and healthy weight do help in controlling the pain of arthritis but I don't think any specific diet helps much and personally I'm a bit sceptical of any that claim they do.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    If you are predisposed to Arthritis then things that have already happened can't change and a mediterranean diet from birth will have helped if thats what you did.

    As the others say, a healthy lifestyle and a calorie count will help. I have just returned from a 25 degree Italy, is that cold? Haha!

    Thank you Dreamdaisy.

    I know that the diet, will not heal what is already damaged. But still, I believe that exists the meals, which supporting joint prevention. I read a great article about strong homemade hen broth. Or some supplements.
