The cartilage tissue in joint disease becomes thinner, covered with a mesh of tiny cracks and rapidly worn away, exposing the bone. Occurrence of sharp pain reduces the mobility of the knee joint. The disease develops due to the deposition of calcium salts in the muscles and ligaments.
There is a risk of being professional athletes who are overweight and have knee injury. Osteoarthritis is treated with diet, folklore and medicine to trigger the recovery of cartilage.
Nutrition
Calcium salt gets into the human body with improper food and unfiltered water. A balanced diet will stimulate the cleansing of the body from harmful dirt and prevent bone deformation. Diet is also recommended for overweight patients. The extra weight is an additional burden on a sore knee.
Nutrition for joint disease has two functions: it restores cartilage tissue and normalizes body weight. One person will have to adhere to a few rules:
- Eat foods that are low in calories.
- Never skip breakfast.
- Eat an empty snack.
- Divide food into small sections.
- Food cannot be fried. Only boiled, baked and steamed.
- Severe diets and medical fasting are prohibited.
- Don't go to bed on a full stomach.
- Eat 4 to 7 times a day.
- Drink water, jelly and decoction.
The main task of the arthrosis diet is the normalization of weight. Each week can eat pork, beef 2 times. Cutlets, meatballs and other meat dishes prepared from chicken or turkey breasts; a rabbit is also suitable. Sausages, lard, ham and bacon are prohibited, as well as butter with sour cream.
Make bird jelly or jelly weekly. Legs, wings, and brisket are used. Meat and skin are removed to reduce calories. A little gelatin is added to the dish. Additives belong to chondroprotectors. Substances begin to renew cartilage tissue and stop bone deformation.
Oily fish like mackerel, salmon and salmon improves joint function. Seafood is prepared twice a week.
Useful calcium sources for patients with arthritis:
- lettuce leaves;
- parsley roots and stems;
- fresh cheese;
- yogurt has no sweeteners or flavors;
- fermented baked milk;
- then is;
- kefir;
- whey.
Vitamin B foods prevent the deformation of bones. These include black breads and whole grains, egg yolks, seafood and peas, hard cheeses, bananas and baked potatoes.
The body needs tocopherol. Vitamin E removes inflammation, increases cartilage elasticity and increases joint mobility. Disease is slowed down by sprouting wheat, walnuts and pine nuts, hazelnuts and flaxseed oil.
Patients with osteoarthritis should include fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet. Allowed to use:
- zucchini;
- pineapple;
- carrots and cabbage;
- broccoli, pumpkin and apples;

Metabolism in the body is restored thanks to grains. Only polished rice and semolina are prohibited. Vegetable oil is very useful, but more than 1 tbsp. l. In one day. It is recommended to drink the decoction of rose hips, raspberry branches and leaves as well as green tea.
Cartilage was restored with a dessert of fresh cheese and dried fruit, soaked in yogurt. Only gelatin is required to be added to the dish.
When you are joints and overweight, you should limit eating semi-finished products, pickles, white cabbage, chips and crackers, cakes. Marshmallow and halva, canned meat and fish, pate, offal dishes are contraindicated.

Cover with a wool scarf.
Burdock can be washed and kneaded rather than heated. When the juice comes out, apply rose water three times to the cotton surface. Attached to the deformed joint and fixed with a plastic bag, above - a warm towel. On the second day, the leaves are smeared with honey and then with perfume. On the third day, bee products are replaced with garlic alcohol. On the fourth day, the ointment is used instead of honey and perfumes. Rotate compression for 2 months. Vacation - 4-6 weeks. Burdock leaves restore mobility to joints, reducing swelling and discomfort.
Treatment of arthritis with black radish, cranberries and beets. 500 g of berries and vegetables are passed through the meat grinder and the mass is poured into the bottle. Pour 0. 5 liters of brandy, put into a sealed jar for 10 days. The drug is taken in the morning before breakfast. Take 30 ml of liquid. The break between courses is 2-3 months.

Aqueous solutions are obtained mixed in equal proportions with vodka alcohol. They took 60 ml of the drug half an hour before eating. The course lasts from 5 to 6 months. Celery infusion prevents cartilage tissue destruction and eliminates pain.
Eggs, horseradish and dandelions
Joint mobility will be restored if the patient applies protein to the skin every day. The egg is broken, the contents are poured into a bowl. The clear mucus remaining on the wall is applied to the affected knee with a finger.
The beaten egg remedy relieves the intense pain. Take half of the protein and the same amount of yolk, beat with a fork. Add 10 ml of turpentine and 1 tablespoon. l. apple cider vinegar.

Gymnastics
Blood circulation in the inflamed knee is restored with moderate exertion. Gentle exercise reduces pain sensation, reduces swelling and slows the aging of joints.
Patients who are seriously ill should start with regular walking. You need to do 3000 steps per day. The distance is increased gradually so as not to overload the legs.
Can exercise at home:
- Sit on a chair or chair so your heels don't touch the floor. Straighten back, rest hands on armrests or hips. Swaying the lower part of the affected leg back and forth.
- Stand on all fours, hands on the floor. The inflamed knee touches only a hard surface, but the main load falls on the upper extremities. Hold this position for 5 to 10 minutes. Gradually, the load on the painful knee increases, but it is not possible so that painful sensation in the joints arises.
- Patient walks slowly around the room on all fours. The floor should be covered with a soft rug or pad. The hard surface damages the inflamed soft tissue.
- Sit on a chair with your feet on the floor. Put your toes on the floor, lift your heels off the ground. Count to three and return to starting position. Do 20 to 50 repetitions.
- Lie still on the chair. Place your heels on the floor and raise the socks. Approach the ceiling for 3 seconds, returning to the starting position.
A patient with simple non-irritating exercises in the knee can squat 10–20 times a day. Lowering the pelvis is not too low to not overload the damaged cartilage. Top is smooth and doesn't get jerky.
Preparations for joint diseases
Folk remedies that remove calcium salts from muscles, slow down the destruction of cartilage tissue, but it is best to combine decoctions and compresses with pharmaceutical preparations. Patients with joint disease are prescribed non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs and chondroprotectors.
Nonsteroidal drugs with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Thanks to pills and gel, edema is reduced, the deformation of bone tissue slows down. Nonsteroidal drugs affect the functioning of the digestive organs, liver and kidneys, so it is necessary to choose the drug with a doctor. The drug relieves the symptoms, but does not restore the structure of the cartilage.
Chondroprotectors normalize blood circulation in the knee joint. That means eliminating the cause of the disease and initiating cartilage tissue renewal.
The process of repairing collagen activation cartilage. They produce tablets for internal use, ointment for external use, and injection. Injections are one of the most effective treatments for arthritis. The drug is injected directly into the joint so it is absorbed better. Collagen is prescribed during remission, patients do not worry about swelling and pain.
Osteoarthritis is treated with hyaluronic acid. Preparations with hyaluronic acid are recommended to be injected directly into the joint. The product covers the bones with a protective film to help avoid friction and abrasion of the cartilage.
Arthritis is combined with vitamin complexes containing tocopherol, ascorbic acid and beta-carotene, as well as magnesium, boron, calcium, copper and zinc. The ingredients increase collagen levels in the body, prevent inflammatory processes and normalize blood circulation in soft tissues.
Arthritis is one of the most common diseases. Young and old patients both face cartilage destruction. At the first symptoms of joint deformity, folk remedies, vitamin complexes and pharmaceutical preparations should be used to prevent inflammatory processes and slow the aging process of the knee joint.
