Asked - we answer
We have collected the most popular questions that concern the peculiarities of nutrition for arthrosis and gave the floor to a specialist:
- Question: What is metabolic arthrosis and how should I eat with this kind of disease? Answer: Metabolic arthrosis appears in humans as a result of eating foods that contain chemical additives. These include preservatives, steroids, hormones, dyes and others. If such a diagnosis is made, then it is necessary to eat only natural products that do not contain artificial additives.
- Question: What should I do to eat small portions and eat up ?Answer: Visually increase the portion by feeding it on a small plate - so it seems bigger. Eat slowly, chew food carefully, take short pauses during meals - the stomach will be saturated faster and much will be impossible to eat. As soon as the saturation has made itself felt, you must immediately leave the table and rinse your mouth. The signal that the stomach is full, fed into the brain with a delay, so people tend to overeat, so the signal of saturation can not wait.
- Question: Why does arthrosis need to eat more protein food ?Answer: Protein is involved in the restoration of all types of joint tissues. It promotes the production of collagen - a life-giving and reducing substance. The protein contains fermented milk products, some varieties of meat and fish, legumes. Collagen is present in holodtsah and jelly.
