The joints within our bodies that connect all our bones in our body together (ankles, knees, hips, etc.) are cushioned by a substance called "synovial fluid".  There are other functions of this fluid but the most important one to the joints are the fuction of it's cushion effect.  It protects the bones from rubbing together.  Without it, the bones don't have the shock absorber that they need and they rub against each other causing pain.  The only way to increase this important fluid is to take Hyaluronic Acid supplement (HAcompound x10).  HA Compound x10 is pure hyaluronic acid in liquid form and it immediately replaces lost or deminished synovial fluid between your joints.

The Tendons and Ligaments and skin all contain this vital fluid "synovial fluid"...

Muscle, tendons, ligaments and skin are all Connective Tissue. The functions of all connective tissue found in the body are many.  One thing connective tissue does with its cordlike structure (see Trigger Thumb diagrams below) is it allows for the body to move about freely.  The stretch and pull and cushioning of the synovial fluid helps the body move about freely but without this vital fluid a myriad of problems can occur such as Arthritis, Trigger Thumb, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, Tennis Elbow, and more...

The Tissue of the Scalp and Your Hair Follicles

This diagram of a hair follicle of the scalp tissue is exactly same as a diagram of the skin except it has hair follicles.  There's 2 different skin layers.  The top one, the epidermis (the outside of the skin) which is the protective layer and faces the elements (wind, weather, and pollution); and the dermal layer (just under the top skin layer)  is where the hair follicle is found. This dermal layer is obviously composed of connective tissue (skin) and it contains synovial fluid which nourishes and hydrates the deep layers of the scalp. When you have enough synovial fluid in this layer of skin you will have healthy hair. This is only possible though if you have a healthy supply of synovial fluid.  How do you get that if you're running low? By taking Liquid Hyaluronic Acid supplements (HA compound x10) you can keep your hair looking it's best. 

.

YOUR Lips

The lips are a thin layer of connective tissue covering the lip muscles.  The upper layer of the lips (the dermal layer) contain synovial fluid which when your lips have enough will make them look supple and plump.  It is essential to your physical looks to make sure you have enough Hyaluronic Acid in your diet to keep your lips looking their best. Taking liquid Hyaluronic Acid supplement (HA Compound x10) will keep your lips looking their kiss-able best!

The fluid inside the eyeball is almost completely composed of synovial fluid. This fluid inside the eye has a thick gel like property. This gel is like the gel between the joint in that it acts like a shock absorber and keeps the eye in place. During eye surgery, the patient is injected with Hyaluronic Acid which is necessary to keep the eye lubricated. Taking liquid Hyaluronic Acid (HA Compound x10) supplements can help your eyes dramatically as we age and get floaters or dry eyes.   Gum Tissue



The jaw bone keeps the ligaments which are very dense and fibrous in this area to make sure the teeth are securely set otherwise they would fall out.  These fibers are another form of Connective Tissue and need hyaluronic Acid to keep them healthy.  Without it these areas can swell up and cause us problems that lead us to pay expensive dental bills.  You can strengthen your gums by taking pure liquid Hyaluronic Acid (HA Compound x10). THE SKIN ALL OVER YOUR BODY

Even though Hyaluronic Acid can be found throughout the entire body's cells and connective tissue and muscles  almost 50% of the bodies HA is found right here in the skin in both layers! Young people have a lot more HA in their skin than older folks do and therefore have less wrinkles. As we age, we don't produce this fluid as much as younger people do so it is very important to youthful looking skin to have daily supplements of Hyaluronic Acid (HA Compound x10).

The Extracellular Matrix (ECM)

Within the skin there is something called Extracellular Matrix (ECM).  It is a gel-like substance and it provides the environment for all the skin cells, etc.  It is found throughout the body and gives the body the support to hold it together.  If we didn't have that we would be a blob of cells that gave no shape to us as individuals.  It is the cement that holds the logs together in this log cabin of ours.  The Extracellular Matrix is where you have the fibers called Elastin and Collagen that is cradled in this Hyaluronic Acid substance.  Its purpose is to keep Collagen and Elastin hydrated and healthy so it stays stretchy as you use your skin to smile or talk etc.  It also has the ability to hold 1000 times its weight in water to keep your skin hydrated and supple and young looking while helping the nutrients needed for the skin to be transported.  So, if you want to look your youngest and your best - taking liquid supplements of Hyaluronic Acid is crucial.  Use HA Compound x10 for healthy looking skin all the time!

Even though Hyaluronic Acid can be found throughout the entire body's cells and connective tissue and muscles  almost 50% of the bodies HA is found right here in the skin in both layers! Young people have a lot more HA in their skin than older folks do and therefore have less wrinkles. As we age, we don't produce this fluid as much as younger people do so it is very important to youthful looking skin to have daily supplements of Hyaluronic Acid (HA Compound x10).

In the skin

About 15 percent of your body weight is attributed to the skin!   About 1/2 of all the Hyaluronic Acid found in the body is right here in the skin.  Today we know that Hyaluronic Acid is just as important [if not more important] than Collagen. Collagen keeps the skin firm but HA keeps the Collagen healthy. Think of Collagen as a rubber band that can stretch much longer - like a million times longer than its original length.  Keep doing that and pretty soon that rubber band will get out of shape and won't stretch anymore. This is what happens to the Collagen in your skin if it's not nurished.  Think of that rubber band being stretched in a solution of oil so that its ability to revert back to its size is helped.  Then make that comparison to Hyaluronic Acid in the skin so that the Collagen is always bathed in this nutritous gel like substance - Hyaluronic Acid. Your skin can stay young and smooth and elastic if it has high concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid.  When we get older, we can't make enough Hyaluronic Acid to keep the Collegen in this healthy gel-like environment to keep it looking youthful.  If the level of HA in the skin decreases so does the skin's ability to retain water which will result in wrinkles and other problems. By using liquid HA Compound x10 daily, you can improve the quality of your looks immencely. 

Conclusion

• HA is the gel-like substance that lubricates the bones and joints.
• HA is needed in the extracellular matrix of the skin keeping us young looking.
• HA is the main component of the fluid of the eye (vitreous humor) which is necessary for  healthy eyes
• HA is the main component in the structure of the scalp, skin,  lips and gums by  hydrating  the epidermal and dermal layers of each story of the connective tissue.
• HA, is the ebb and flow of cells and nurishing elements for healthy strong connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, muscle) by being the vehicle for the cycle of waste removal and hydration to these important levels of tissue in the body.
• HA is vital to healthy cartilage all the way from the heart valves to the cartilage surrounding the ends of joint bones right up the outer layer of our skin that you see in the mirror.
• HA Compound x10 Supplementation is vital due to the aging body's  inability to produce its own hyaluronic acid.

Directions: HA Compound X10 should be taken several times a day. For more serious problems higher doses more frequently is suggested.















How the body works to utilize HA Compound x10:
The skin is the largest organ of the human body. The body is bound together by connective tissue: the skin and the connective tissue inside the body. The connective tissue is composed of a substance called synovial fluid. About half of the connective tissue found in the body is synovial fluid. As we age, this fluid begins to deminish. When that happens a myriad of things can go wrong, like arthritis setting in, or back pain, or pain in the legs, even sagging skin and wrinkles! Now that we know what causes these problems science has found a way to replace this deminishing fluid with Hyaluronic Acid (the equivalent of synovial fluid) which is found in all connective tissue. HA Compound x10 is 100% pure hyaluronic acid with a high enough molecular weight that the body can utilize it immediately. It goes right into the bloodstread and doesn't have to go through the digestive system to repair the body. Immediately after ingesting HA Compound x10, the synovial fluid in the parts of the body that it reaches first will begin to be repaired. The circulatory system carries it directly to the areas in the body that need repair. The circulatory system is not descriminating. The first place the circulatory system takes the hyaluronic acid is the first place it will work on. Remember, if you have had arthritis for years, your entire body is depleted of this important subtance and the body has a way of borrowing from other parts of the body the things it needs most where it is most needed. So, you may notice that arthritic people have more wrinkles too. We are offering this product at super low prices so that you can take it as you need it as many times a day and not worry that it isn't affordable. There are no side effects! Almost every part of your body needs this fluid. Taking 2 or 3 drops a day as other companies suggest simply isn't enough if you have arthritis in several areas of the body. Taking a dropperful in water every few hours is what you need to take to repair years of damage from arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. And just because your knees are the only place that are bothering you now, chances are the rest of your body will begin to deteriorate too in time - however, you can stop bone loss now with hyaluronic acid. When we ingest hyaluronic acid it goes to work immediately targeting the places that are the lacking in this essential fluid on its way around the body as it enters the blood stream. The most painful problems in the body may not get the hyaluronic acid you ingest the first time because another part of your body used it first. This is why it is important to repeat this process and take many doses during the day and night as needed!

The following diagrams shows the problems associated with TRIGGER THUMB or TRIGGER FINGER:

Trigger finger and trigger thumb are conditions affecting the movement of the tendons as they bend the fingers or thumb toward the palm of the hand. This movement is called flexion. Triggering is usually the result of a thickening in the tendon that forms a nodule, or knob. The pulley ligament may thicken as well. The constant irritation from the tendon repeatedly sliding through the pulley causes the tendon to swell in this area and create the nodule. Rheumatoid arthritis, partial tendon lacerations, repeated trauma from pistol-gripped power tools, or long hours grasping a steering wheel can cause triggering. Infection or damage to the synovium causes a rounded swelling (the nodule) to form in the tendon.

What does a trigger finger or thumb feel like?

he symptoms of trigger finger or thumb include pain and a funny clicking sensation when the finger or thumb is bent. Pain usually occurs when the finger or thumb is bent and straightened. Tenderness usually occurs over the area of the nodule--at the bottom of the finger or thumb. The clicking sensation occurs when the nodule moves through the tunnel formed by the pulley ligaments. With the finger straight, the nodule is at the far edge of the surrounding ligament. When the finger is flexed, the nodule passes under the ligament and causes the clicking sensation. If the nodule becomes too large it may pass under the ligament, but becomes stuck at the near edge. The nodule cannot move back through the tunnel, and the finger is locked in the flexed trigger position.

What can be done about it?

Well, the answer is that you can either see a surgeon, have surgery that takes months to heal and cost a fortune OR you can take HA Compound X10 supplements to help the body heal itself! (To order, CLICK: PayPal Payments or Credit Card Payments ).








It is extremely important to note here that there is another element to the relief of arthritis or any of the connective tissue damaged problems you are experiencing. Most notable is that people with these problems should NOT be eating foods that contain gluten found in wheat products but especially in pasta. This carbo turns into a glue-like substance in the body and if you take the time to think about it, you will notice that the next morning your joints will hurt even more so - almost as if they're glued more tightly - after an Italian dinner from the night before. Also, cooked tomatoes are just about as harmful. I think the following information will be helpful to Arthritis sufferers and just about everything else associated with connective tissue damage problems.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disabling autoimmune disease that causes the patient's immune system to attack and destroy their own joints. The cells of the immune system target the synovial membrane that line the joints leading to swelling, redness, and a significant amount of pain. The disease begins in cycles as symptoms first come and go, but eventually they become constant. Over time, the joints may become deformed and unable to move. In addition to causing a great deal of pain, rheumatoid arthritis also causes significant disability and interferes with normal living. The good news . . . is that dietary changes can help reduce the pain and may prevent much of the disability associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

•	Cold water fish such as salmon, tuna, herring, mackerel and halibut for their beneficial omega 3 fatty acids
•	Salmon, tuna, shrimp, sunflower seeds, eggs and vitamin-D fortified milk products for their vitamin D (February 26, 2004)
•	Organically grown fruits and vegetables
•	Extra virgin olive oil

Avoid dairy, gluten (notably wheat), pasta and processed white bread, meat, saturated fat, omega 6 fatty acids (not the other omega fatty acids), and foods that cause allergic reactions.

The Disease Process
How does a normal, functioning joint become painful and debilitated? It's a slow process that may take many years to fully develop. A healthy joint consists of several different parts. Since joints are places where two bones meet, the joint consists primarily of the ends of the two bones being connected by the joint. The ends of these bones are coated by cartilage, which is softer and more flexible than bone. Like the rubber pads on a car’s brakes, cartilage keeps the bones from grinding together and damaging each other. Since it is somewhat springy, it acts as a cushion and keeps the bones from smashing into each other during movement. The joint is held together by connective tissue, which is a bit like white tissue paper, but much, much stronger. This connective tissue, which is also made up of tendons and ligaments, holds the end of the bone together so that the joint is stable and strong.

Lining the inside of the joint is something called the synovial membrane, which produces synovial fluid. Synovial fluid (which also contains Hyaluronic Acid) not only lubricates the joint so that it glides and moves better, it also supplies the joint cartilage with nutrients and oxygen.

In rheumatoid arthritis, this efficient system falls apart. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, which means that the immune system, which is supposed to protect the body from infection, instead turns on certain cells of its own body.

In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the cells of the immune system begin to produce antibodies which target and bind to the cells of the synovial membrane. When immune cells see antibodies bound to these cells, they rush over and attack them, causing great amounts of inflammation and free radicals. The synovial membrane becomes very swollen and the joint itself becomes red, painful, and enlarged.

The free radicals then start to damage the cartilage and the ends of the bones, leading to reduced joint mobility. Eventually the damage spreads to the connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments, causing joint deformity.

This process may occur very rapidly, leading to severe joint deformity and dysfunction in a very short amount of time, or the process may come and go, slowly causing joint problems over many years. In this situation, patients may have mild or even no symptoms between attacks. The attacks start to get closer and closer together, though, eventually becoming constant.

Causes
The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is still unknown. Genetics may make some people more prone to the disease than others, but does not thoroughly explain why some people develop it while others do not.

Fortunately, researchers have identified certain factors that seem to be linked to the condition. Surprisingly, many of these are related to food and the digestive tract. Food allergies, adverse food reactions, intestinal inflammation, certain eating habits, and harmful bacteria in the digestive tract have all been associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

The digestive tract is the part of the body responsible for the break down and absorption of food. Normally, the lining of the intestines, which is where absorption takes place, is very specific about what it allows into the bloodstream and what must stay in the digestive tract for further digestion or elimination.

Typically, only very tiny particles that have been thoroughly broken down are permitted to pass. When the lining of the intestines becomes inflamed, however, larger particles leak through and enter the body. The immune system mistakes these particles for foreign invaders and attacks them, leading to general inflammation in the body. Sometimes these particles confuse the immune system and cause it to attack normal body cells by accident. This can contribute to, or even cause, rheumatoid arthritis in the joints.

Several things can cause inflammation in the digestive tract. Some people react to certain proteins in foods. The cells of their immune system produce antibodies against these proteins and attack them when they are eaten, leading to inflammation.

Some of the main proteins targeted are gluten, which is found in many different grains including wheat, oats, barley, and rye, and milk proteins. Since most people eat grains and dairy on a daily basis, the intestines are always inflamed, leading to a state of perpetual inflammation.

Harmful bacteria also contribute to problems in the gut. Normally, the intestines contain a number of beneficial bacteria that live on the fiber in our diets and protect us from harmful bacteria.

If harmful bacteria get a foothold, for example during an infection or after a course of antibiotics, which can kill the beneficial bacteria, they can start to grow and produce toxins. These toxins can also cause intestinal inflammation. As a matter of fact, a majority of rheumatoid arthritis patients have been shown to have Clostridium perfringens, a very harmful bacteria, in their digestive tract. Many others have evidence of another toxic bacteria, called Proteus.

The use of certain medications can also lead to inflammation in the intestines. Unfortunately, these are commonly the same pain-killers that patients take to reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Medications like aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen may do wonders for joint pain, but they are much less kind to the digestive tract. They tend to be very irritating to the cells of the stomach and intestines and may cause inflammation and even damage to the lining of the gut.

This may be the reason why these medications have not been shown to prevent the progression of damage and dysfunction that occurs in this condition, even though they may help to temporarily reduce pain.

Fortunately, some fairly simple dietary changes can help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract that may be contributing to joint problems. Eliminating foods that are activating the immune system or causing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria can be helpful. In addition, certain foods can support the growth of the beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation in general.

Dietary Causes
Diet may be your friend or foe in the fight against rheumatoid arthritis. Diets that seem to be linked to rheumatoid arthritis are high in saturated fats, meat, dairy, and omega-6 fatty acids, which are found in animal products, refined vegetable oils, such as corn oil, safflower oil, and margarine.

Some patients also find that certain artificial food additives, like yellow dye #5 (tartrazine), make their symptoms worse. Diets low in fruits, vegetables, and other good sources of fiber can encourage the growth of the more harmful bacteria that may be contributing to symptoms.

Adverse food reactions may also play a big role in rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. Some patients find that eating specific foods can cause a flare-up of their condition. Researchers have even found that many patients are actually allergic to certain proteins. The main proteins that rheumatoid arthritis patients react to are gluten, which is found in several grains, and milk proteins. By eliminating these foods, patients may significantly reduce their levels of inflammation.

In contrast, many dietary habits can actually help reduce the effects of rheumatoid arthritis. Diets high in cold water fish have been associated with lower rates of rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, many patients have experienced a significant relief in their symptoms by switching to a high fruit and vegetable vegetarian or vegan diet. Certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, selenium, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin A, and copper, may also be helpful for reducing the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Nutrient Needs
Foods That May Help Include
Cold Water Fish

A nice, juicy piece of baked halibut fillet is not only tasty, it may be one of the best foods for helping out the sore joints of rheumatoid arthritis. Populations who enjoy a good amount of fish in their diets also enjoy fairly low rates of rheumatoid arthritis. People with rheumatoid arthritis who start consuming the beneficial omega-3 fatty acids found in fish report a great improvement in their symptoms. Studies have shown that eating fish regularly can elevate the levels of the anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids in the body. Researchers recommend eating 4-6 servings of fish per week as a great way to get those good fats as well as a healthy amount of protein in your diet. Cold water fish include salmon, halibut, mackerel, tuna, herring, sardines, and cod.

Vitamin D-rich Foods
Consuming foods rich in vitamin D such as salmon, tuna, shrimp, sunflower seeds, eggs and vitamin D-fortified milk products, provides protection against developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), suggests a study published in the January 2004 issue of Arthritis and Rheumatism. The data was drawn from a prospective study of 29,368 women who were followed for 11 years and ranged in age from 55 to 69 when the study began in 1986. Women consuming the most foods naturally rich in vitamin D were found to have a 27% lower risk of RA. Those consuming the most foods fortified with vitamin D, i.e., milk products, had a 34% lower risk of developing RA. Researchers speculate that vitamin D is not only a potent regulator of calcium use in the body but may also have positive affects on maintaining normal immune function. (February 26, 2004)

Fruits and Vegetables
Steamed, baked, stir-fried, roasted, grilled, or even shish-kabob, vegetables can be a colorful and flavorful part of any healthy diet plan. Fruits make sweet desserts and between-meal snacks, or can be added to cooked meals for a delightful change of pace.

Fresh fruits and vegetables contain important anti-inflammatory antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as fiber. The fiber found in fruits and vegetables can help to restore the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, thereby reducing the general inflammation in the body.

Studies have shown that many rheumatoid arthritis patients who start following a produce-rich vegetarian diet find their symptoms improve or even disappear completely. They're often able to reduce or stop their use of pain-killers. Spending time in the produce section of the grocery store may reduce the amount of time and money you have to spend in the pain-medicine section.

Olive Oil
In parts of the world, including Greece, Italy, Sicily, and other Mediterranean countries, the traditional cuisine is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, robust spices, and pure, extra-virgin olive oil. These areas of the world also tend to have much lower rates of rheumatoid arthritis than other areas, as much as 75% less.

The fats in olive oil are used by the body to produce prostacyclin, a very powerful anti-inflammatory substance. Research studies have shown that rheumatoid arthritis patients who increase their intake of olive oil experience a dramatic reduction in symptoms.

Replacing the pro-inflammatory fats found in vegetable oils like corn oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil and margarine with pure olive oil can help switch your body from a state of general inflammation to one of general good health.

Yogurt
Snacking on a cup of low-fat, fruit-enriched yogurt instead of a sugary snack may actually help with rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. Yogurt and other fermented dairy products are made by mixing dairy with certain bacteria that act to give it its creamy texture and slightly sour taste.

Fortunately, these bacteria are the same as the good bacteria found in the gut that act to protect us from harmful bacteria. Eating foods that contain these bacteria can help to get rid of the toxin-producing bacteria that contribute to rheumatoid arthritis.

Be sure to look for yogurt that specifically says it contains live, active culture as some yogurts are heat-treated to kill the bacteria before being sold. A variety of soy-based yogurts are available for those who cannot, or choose not to, consume dairy.

Fasting
Fasting refers to a time period during which no food is eaten. This naturally happens during sleeping, which is why the first meal of the day, which ends the nighttime fast, is called break fast, or breakfast. While the true definition of fasting means that only water is consumed, the term has been modified over time to apply to periods of time where only certain foods are eaten.

For example, someone doing a juice fast for a few days would only eat freshly juiced fruits and vegetables. Someone doing a fruit and vegetable fast for a few days would as much fruits and vegetables as they want, but no other foods. For many rheumatoid arthritis patients, a few days of fasting can really help to eliminate pain and swelling.

Although a pure water fast may cause dangerous electrolyte imbalances and should never be done without the supervision of a trained health practitioner, a couple of days of just fruits and vegetables may be helpful. Fasting gives the gut a rest, which allows gut inflammation to calm down for a little while. It can also reduce levels of harmful bacteria. Spending 2-3 days on a fruit and vegetable fast followed by a vegetarian or vegan diet may help to get your rheumatoid arthritis symptoms under control.

Nutrients From Food That May Help Include
Omega-3 Fatty Acids

The balance of fatty acids in the body can be a strong determinate of health versus illness. When the body has plenty of omega 3 fatty acids from a good diet to work with, it can produce healthy cells, a functional immune system, and substances that limit the amount of inflammation that occurs. The body is then able to more readily fight off bacteria, viruses, and other harmful invaders, without getting out of control and attacking itself.

Fortunately, the right dietary choices can ensure that you get all of the omega-3 fatty acids that your body needs. Cold-water fish, such as salmon, halibut, mackerel, herring, sardines, tuna, and cod, are rich sources of these fats and have been shown to increase the levels of omega-3 fats in the body.

Researchers recommend around 4-6 servings of these fish every week in order to significantly help with rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. It may, however, take a few weeks for the fatty acid balance to be altered enough to see a big difference.

Some concentrated food sources of omega-3 fatty acids are flax seeds, walnuts and cold water fish, like salmon and cod and halibut.

Vitamin C is one of the main antioxidants in the body. Its job is to scour the body looking for free radicals. When it comes into contact with a free radical, it eliminates it so that it can’t do any more harm. Since free radicals are responsible for the joint damage that occurs in rheumatoid arthritis, it is important that there be plenty of vitamin C available to reduce damage.

Unfortunately, studies show that many rheumatoid arthritis patients have very low levels of vitamin C in their bodies because it is being used up so quickly. Rheumatoid arthritis patients, therefore, need to get extra vitamin C in their diets.

Excellent food sources of vitamin C include broccoli, parsley, bell peppers, strawberries, cauliflower, lemons, mustard greens, Brussels sprouts, papaya, kale, cabbage, spinach, kiwi, cantaloupe, oranges, fresh un-cooked tomatoes, chard, collard greens, raspberries, peppermint leaves (also steeped in a tea), asparagus, celery,, fennel, pineapple, and watermellon.

Vitamin E is another important antioxidant in the body. Like vitamin C, it acts to eliminate free radicals and reduce the damage caused in rheumatoid arthritis. Studies show that rheumatoid arthritis patients also have very low levels of vitamin E in their bodies, and thus need extra amounts. Increasing their intake of vitamin E may help to significantly reduce symptoms. Mustard greens, turnip greens, and sunflower seeds are a few excellent sources of vitamin E.

Selenium: The antioxidant system of the body is especially dependent on selenium for normal function. When antioxidants like vitamin C and E attack free radicals, they become inactive. Selenium is needed to reactivate them so they can go out and eliminate more free radicals.

Like vitamin C and vitamin E, selenium levels tend to be low in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Studies have shown that the combination of selenium and vitamin E is especially potent in reducing free radicals and rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.

Some excellent sources of selenium include crimini mushrooms, cod, shrimp, salmon, snapper, yellowfin tuna, and calf liver.

Vitamin A: Low levels of vitamin A are associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin A is needed by the body for many things. It helps the body to produce and maintain healthy membranes, like the synovial membrane found in joints. It's also necessary for the proper function of the immune system.

When vitamin A levels are low, we may wind up with an immune system that is weak, leaving us more susceptible to infection, or one that is overactive, leading to auto-immune disease. Adequate amounts of vitamin A in the diet may help to restore the healthy function of the immune system.

Excellent food sources of vitamin A/beta-carotene include sweet potatoes, carrots, calf liver, kale, squash, collard greens, chard, cantaloupe, mustard greens, romaine lettuce, spinach, parsley, cayenne pepper, peppermint leaves, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, broccoli, asparagus, and apricots.

Zinc: Like vitamin A, zinc is also needed for the maintenance of healthy membranes and a normal immune system. It's a vital part of the antioxidant system of the body. Unfortunately, rheumatoid arthritis patients tend to be low in this important nutrient. Increasing the amount of zinc in your diet may help to reduce the negative effects of rheumatoid arthritis. Calf Liver and crimini mushrooms are two excellent sources of zinc.

Copper: The age-old folk remedy of wearing copper bracelets for rheumatoid arthritis has been studied lately and found to be valid. Researchers found that rheumatoid arthritis patients who wear copper bracelets absorb some of the copper through their skin and tend to have less joint pain when they are using the bracelets.

Copper is necessary for the production of connective tissue, something that is damaged in rheumatoid arthritis. It also plays a role in the antioxidant system to reduce free radicals. Some researchers believe that copper deficiency may be a cause of some cases of rheumatoid arthritis. Increasing your intake of copper may help to manage or even prevent the problems of this condition.

Excellent food sources of copper include calf liver, crimini mushrooms, turnip greens, and blackstrap molasses. Calcium and Vitamin D:

People with rheumatoid arthritis tend to have a lot of bone loss as a result of their condition and are at an increased risk of ending up with osteoporosis. This may be a result of the excessive inflammation or it may be a result of certain anti-inflammatory medications. Whatever the cause, research has shown that getting adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D in the diet can help to prevent or even reverse this bone loss.

Calcium and vitamin D work together as a team to build healthy and strong bones. Increasing your intake of both of these nutrients may protect you from the debilitating long-term consequences of this bone loss. Mustard greens, collard greens, turnip greens and spinach are some excellent food sources of calcium. shrimp and goat's milk are two very good sources of vitamin D.

Nutrient Excesses/Substances To Avoid:

Omega-6 Fatty Acids

Excess intake of omega-6 fatty acids can make your rheumatoid arthritis worse, because too many of these substances will be converted into messaging substances that increase inflammation. You'll want to balance your intake of fats that contain these omega 6s with other types of fat including Omega 3 and omega 9 varities.

The best way to do this is by limiting your consumption of feeddlot beef, refined cooking oils, and margarines, and increasing your intake of cold water fish like salmon, halibut and cod, nuts and seeds like pumpkin seeds and walnuts and oils such as extra virgin olive oil and flaxseed oil.

Saturated Fats
Most saturated fats are associated with increased production of pro-inflammatory substances in the body. Saturated fats are found mainly in whole dairy products like whole milk and cheese, and in animal products such as red meats and poultry. It's easy to replace these fatty foods with low-fat dairy products, lean meats, and omega-3-rich cold water fish.

Gluten
Many rheumatoid arthritis patients have been found to have antibodies against gluten, a protein found in many grains. It's not clear why some people are allergic to gluten while others are not. What is clear, however, is that gluten-allergic people who continue to eat foods that contain gluten have great amounts of inflammation in the lining of their intestines. This can not only interfere with the absorption of many vitamins and minerals, it can also lead to general inflammation in other parts of the body, like the joints.

Gluten is found in grains such as wheat, oats, barley, and rye. Wheat is by far and away the most problematic of these four choices, and in fact some nutritional organizations approve the use of oats and rye for individuals sensitive to gluten. Gluten is not found in rice or corn. Millet, quinoa, and buckwheat are also good choices for people with gluten sensitivity. Some may be able to tolerate spelt, which is an ancestor of wheat, but others find it problematic as well.

Dairy
Some rheumatoid arthritis patients have antibodies against milk proteins. As with gluten, it is not clear why these people are allergic to these proteins, but the consumption of dairy can cause intestinal and then general inflammation.

Milk protein is found mainly in dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and sour cream. Milk proteins may exist in some processed foods in the form of whey, powdered milk, and caseine or sodium caseinate, which appears in many “non-dairy” foods, like coffee creamers and whipped toppings.

Dairy proteins may also appear in many baked goods, breakfast drink mixes, and even non-Kosher lunch meats. People who suspect a milk protein allergy must be very careful about reading labels to avoid a worsening of their symptoms from these products.

Meat
A high intake of meat may worsen the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers believe that high levels of the proteins found in meat encourage the growth of the more harmful bacteria in the intestines. In contrast, diets high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains encourage the growth of the friendly bacteria instead.

This may be why rheumatoid arthritis patients tend to experience a great improvement in their condition when they switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet, and why their symptoms often return when they start eating meat again. One exception to this is meat from fish, which has been shown to decrease symptoms because of its Omega 3 fatty acids.

Adverse Food Reactions
Besides the foods mentioned above, some rheumatoid arthritis sufferers have found that their symptoms are worse after they eat certain foods. Adverse food reactions vary, meaning that different people may have problems with completely different foods. A food and symptom diary or allergy elimination diet may help to reveal if adverse food reactions are contributing to rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.

Recommended Diet
The best place to start your healthy diet is at the fresh fish counter of your local grocery store. Skip the red meat and poultry. Instead reach for the fresh salmon steaks or halibut fillets. Four to six servings of these or mackerel, tuna, sardines, herring, or cod may help those sore joints.

Vegetable oils like corn, sunflower, and safflower oils may taste heavy and bland, and margarine can taste greasy and salty. Pure extra-virgin olive oil on the other hand, can have a wonderful delicate flavor that mixes well with spices or balsamic vinegar and goes great on a mixed-green salad or with warm, fresh-baked, gluten-free bread.

Olive oil and spices can also add flavor to a hot plate of freshly steamed vegetables. Maybe the vegetables are just fine all by themselves. Either way, including plenty of fresh, lightly cooked vegetables in your diet can be a real help with symptoms. With the number of vegetables commonly available these days, you can really add excellent variety to meal plans.

Instead of snacking on sugary cookies or candy bars, delight in the aroma and taste of fresh ripe melon, a juicy peach, or a beautiful red strawberry? You could try the delicate blend of sweet and sour found in some fruit-enriched, live culture, low-fat yogurt.

Experimenting with a vegetarian or vegan diet or even a couple days of a fruit and vegetable fast may be an interesting experience that winds up having a dramatic effect on your joint symptoms. It may also help you figure out if there are any food allergies or adverse food reactions making your condition worse.
