2) Diet for Osteoarthritis
A great way to improve your osteoarthritis is by changing parts of your life style, one part being diet. Most people believe that animal proteins such as diary, eggs and meats can help you with issues such as osteoarthritis, but in fact they don’t.  When you think they are helping they really are not, instead they just add fat and weight to the body causing your osteoarthritis to get worse. The standard American diet causes damage to the joints in several ways. Over two thirds of persons on this high-calorie, high-fat diet are overweight and nearly 1/3 can be classified as obese. This excess weight causes damage to the joints involved with the hips, legs and feet. However there are other reasons why a bad diet causes injury to joints. 1. The Western diet is often low on or missing essential nutrients so the joints and bones do not receive the raw materials they need to be strong and wear resistant.  2. The high-fat diet allows an excess of fat to be present in the bloodstream which causes blood cells to clump, reducing the efficiency of circulation which, in turn, deprives joints of nourishment.  3. The most damaging result of the standard American diet is the consumption of dairy products and animal proteins which cause inflammation and destruction of the joints.

4) Flax Seed Natural Treatment for Osteoarthritis
Using flax seed is one the most beneficial natural treatments for osteoarthritis that you can use. Flax seed contains omega 3 which produces prostaglandins which are good anti-inflammatory molecules.  These molecules can reduce inflammation caused by osteoarthritis. You should eat three tablespoons of flaxseed a day in order to reduce inflammation. Flax seed is easy to put in a meal and you can put some in the meals you make for when you’re going somewhere. If the seeds don’t meet your taste buds expectations then you can try eating three teaspoons of flax seed oil which can be easier to consume.

5) Alfalfa Natural Remedy
Making tea from alfalfa seeds is one the best ways to reduce the inflammation caused by osteoarthritis.  Add one cup of alfalfa seeds to some boiling water, then once it has boiled for ten minutes remove the water from the heating source. You should let the tea steep for five minutes before drinking so that way the tea will get darker and cool down at the same time. You should drink three to four eight ounce cups of this tea a day. Do this for two straight weeks every month and you will decrease your chances of your osteoarthritis acting up.  You should also start taking alfalfa capsules every day so you can keep the inflammation down.
