Many people who suffer from arthritis notice amazing pain relief after adopting a plant-based diet. The reason is now becoming more clear. Eating a plant-based diet decreases exposure to an inflammatory agent called Neu5GC. This compound is only found in animal protein and is believed to increase the rate of breast cancer, heart disease and inflammation in the body’s joints. Those suffering from arthritis pain often feel better within weeks of making the dietary change to a vegan diet. This compound can even pass into the system through drugs, supplements and skin-care products that contain animal-based ingredients.

It is important to eliminate all animal products including meat and dairy to obtain the full benefit.

Most fresh fruits and vegetables are anti-inflammatory; the ones mentioned are just a few that have been studied the most. Many people avoid nightshade vegetables, which contain high alkaloids, which have been touted to cause inflammation for many arthritis sufferers.

It could be harmful to recommend supplements without knowing your full history. I'd advise finding someone in your area who is knowledgeable in plant-based supplements and who can do a thorough evaluation of you and your particular situation.

I thoroughly agree with this information Rene as my 88yr old mum agreed to me changing her diet, (I started caring for her at this point) avoiding gluten dairy caffeine nightshade family meat and fish...essentially a plant-based diet with fresh vegetable juices. Guess what! Her arthritis pain which she suffered from for years went in a few weeks and she put it down to 'all the different food I was feeding her' !! It was all the ones I'd taken out!
