Get her to eat unprocessed foods – no junk food, cakes, biscuits, crackers or chips. Avoid wheat products so try biscuits made with other grains – rice, oats, sunflower seeds, dates, almonds.
Avoid fatty fried foods as they promote inflammation.
Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean meat, oily fish, find another calcium source other than cows milk – soy milk.
Omega 3 Oils in olive oil, oily fish, sunflower seeds, linseeds , reduce inflammation. Magnesium rich foods (almonds, dates) relax muscles thereby easing pressure placed on joints.
Start taking Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM combined…you can find it at GNC, Target, Walmart etc.
It’s not a cure but it will help minimize the pain and also lubricate the bones and joints. It’s all natural. I used to work for GNC and i know alot of elderly folks would come in and often buy it…It is pricey though.
Hope she gets better
I have polyarticular rheumatoid arthritis and i had it at her age as well. i try to cut down on high-carb and wheat products. things like crackers, breads, and chips put toxins in the joints that build up and cause more pain. Also things with high fat take away from the bones and cause more severe inflammation. Things like cheese fries can make me immobile the following day. keeping hydrated helps move the toxins out of the joints as well. And even though it hurts unbelievably, remaining active will help a lot
I wish her the best of luck!
She really needs to be guided by her medical proffesionals and not take advice from this site – it’s nice of you to care about her.
