Can you get arthritis relief with antioxidants?
Antioxidants are an amazing arthritis relief treatment, since they are readily available, low in cost, and quite effective. Most people are always looking for that magic bullet to cure arthritis and over look the amazing antioxidants. Antioxidants are effective in many inflammatory conditions such as bursitis, sprains, and rheumatoid arthritis. But they must be used consistently.
In his book, Pain Free, 1995, Luke Bucci, Ph.D. recounts,
“After taking four grams of vitamin C daily for several months, Dr. J. Greenwood reported that he had ‘cured his lower-back pain.’ He started recommending that his patients with degenerative–joint disease take daily oral does of one-to-four grams of vitamin C. Most patients got relief from their symptoms.”
Vitamin C is in a class of well known antioxidants. The basic class of these antioxidants is vitamin A, C, E, and selenium. You may also be familiar with these other antioxidants, glutathione, glutathione, coenzyme Q10, SOD, catalase, methionine, lipoic acid, and flavoniods. All of these antioxidants are powerful agents and you should be using them in your diet even though you may not have arthritis.
So what makes these antioxidants so amazing for arthritis relief? Arthritis is a painful inflammatory disease. This is why people use Anacin, Buffrin, and Ibuprofen and even more powerful pain killers to block this pain. But, antioxidants are not pain killers, yet they work as a treatment for arthritis.
When your cells burn oxygen, oxidation, they create a by product called a “free radical.” These free radicals are super reactive. Free radicals are also created when you develop arthritis, since inflammation creates free radicals. When one free radical is created, it sets off a chain reaction, creating other free radicals, which go randomly damaging surrounding tissue molecules causing more pain and inflammation.
Free radicals cause cells to corrode. They damage cell membrane, DNA, cartilage, and protein. By using antioxidants for an amazing arthritis relief, you can lessen the arthritic effects of pain and inflammation. Antioxidants grab up the free radicals as they are created, preventing them from doing excess molecular damage. For this reason, antioxidants are a treatment for arthritis. Use of basic antioxidants with one of the power antioxidants like SOD, flavoniods found in fruits, or a glutathione precursors can provide you with a powerful and amazing arthritis relief and treatment.
