Arthritis...a different approach
part 2
In addition to the less conventional therapies, such as the amazing effects of the Indian cooking spice turmeric that we discussed in Part 1, the use of stem cells taken from our bodies has made some notable advances. Of course, this can solve the problem of our body's immune system refusing treatment.
As a result of stem cell research, a group of medical researchers led by Professor Frank Barry of the National University of Ireland in Galway has conducted trial treatment. Professor Barry is one of the world's leading stem cell experts who does this by using patients. Your own stem cells are obtained by removing fat samples from the patient's own body.
This fat sample is then separated out of the stem cells; and, under clinical conditions, the cells are "growth". Over a period of time, before being injected back into the patient, in the damaged area of the patient. joint. The results are very encouraging and lead to a significant increase in joint mobility.
Professor Barry, the clinical director of the study, said, "The results are very exciting, and we firmly believe that stem cell therapy will soon bring hope to millions of arthritis patients." Statistics show that osteoarthritis affects about 15% More than 30% of people over the age of 25 are pensioners. "
Currently, there are no medical interventions, known drugs or therapies to prevent the progression of this disease, and most patients only need to treat themselves with painkillers often. Often, further development of arthritis often leads to surgery to replace damaged joints.
One of the most common forms of arthritis is knee osteoarthritis, which may be because our knees often exceed extreme stress in our daily lives. During a lifetime of walking, our knees are impacted by stress; Egypt, when we are doing different movements, twist and turn. Osteoarthritis affects the main surface of the knee joint and the cartilage [knee bone] below the tibia. We are most likely to feel pain in the front and sides of the knee.
If you have severe osteoarthritis, your knees may bend and bend, causing you to walk. Your knees may also become so unstable that it may give up when you gain weight - usually because the thigh muscles are weak, but sometimes because the ligaments are damaged.
Who is more likely to suffer from knee osteoarthritis?
Knee osteoarthritis is twice as large as men in women; and, when it occurs, it usually affects both knees. Since the mid to late fifties, it has been more likely to cause most problems.
Should I exercise?
Yes, because exercise helps keep muscles fit and the joints are soft. You can do gentle movements without putting too much pressure on your joints. Protect your joints and exercise and work together.
Joint protection with gentle movements can reduce the pressure on the joint capsules and ligaments, and if you sit still, it may become slack: but keep in mind that training your joints can make things worse. Regular gentle exercise strengthens all muscles and ligaments around the joints, allowing the joints to provide the joints they need.
Should I follow a special diet?
Overweight will definitely put an extra burden on our weight-bearing joints [our back, buttocks, knees, ankles and feet], which is not good if they are damaged or strained; and, because of the work of our joints The way, when we walk, the pressure on the knee is five to six times our weight. If for this reason alone, it is important to maintain a healthy weight. You can do this by ensuring regular exercise; for example, swimming is very beneficial for arthritis patients because the buoyancy of water supports our joints.
Eating a Mediterranean diet helps provide all the nutrients and vitamins we need. This should include:
• Lots of fruits and vegetables
• Many oily fish
• Snacks of nuts and seeds
• Premium virgin olive oil.
Some people also take dietary supplements to help protect their joints; for example, glucosamine and chondroitin can be found in most health food stores. In general, our body can tolerate supplements well, but you should tell your doctor because some people will interfere with other medications.
If you decide to try to supplement, it's a good idea to keep a written record of what they did for you and to make any improvement based on whether you noticed whether you continue to make a decision.
Lifestyle plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of arthritis; and because changing our life habits can be very difficult, many people find it helpful to get together with others who want to achieve the same results. Good voice advice can be obtained from any hospital occupational therapy department, and they usually also offer a joint protection program in which a group of people with arthritis support each other through learning and practicing exercise activities. This is a good idea and may be one of the ideal parts of the overall plan for people with arthritis.
