HOW FISH COULD REDUCE INFLAMMATION AND JOINT PAIN IN ARTHRITIS PATIENTS

As a health expert, increasing your intake of healthy oils and fats by consuming fish like salmon., herring, sardines, mackerel, shad, and anchovies can help ease arthritis signs such as inflammation and joint pain in the following ways.

Fish are packed with healthy omega-3 fats and other anti-inflammatory properties.

Arthritis is mainly triggered by swelling or inflammation of joints and muscles. Eating fish regularly provides the body with essential omega-3 fatty acids that prevent and reduce inflammation. The EPA and DHA fatty acids are responsible for decreasing inflammation and blocking the production of harmful enzymes, which can worsen the pain.

The omega-3 fats aid in treating joint pain as they tend to lower the harshness or intensity of arthritis or inflammation. They are effective in fighting joint tenderness, uneasiness, and stiffness. Adding fish to your diet can boost omega-3 levels, promoting smooth blood flow in the joint tissues and reducing inflammation and pain.

The healthy fats fish possess certain chemicals that enhance lubrication and supply of nutrients in the joint tissues or cells to minimize friction during intense activities. omega-3 fats improve joint lubrication, which aids in reducing pain and inflammation for an overall healthier body.
