Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints. It is a condition that not only affects the fingers, wrist, hips, knees and feet, but also the muscles and tendons. The disease mainly occurs in women during menopause.
The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. Gradually changes occur in the joint, such as bumps on the fingers. Timely fighting the inflammation is therefore important!
Nevertheless, you can greatly reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis with a predominantly plant-based diet.
A lot can be achieved with a predominantly plant-based diet. For everyone, a diet rich in refined sugars, grains, meat and dairy leads to more inflammation in the body.
It is possible to prevent, reduce or accelerate the healing process by eating anti-inflammatory foods and drastically reducing or eliminating inflammatory foods.
Mattie Lageveen (75) battled crippling pain for years, but everything changed when she started eating plant-based!
Mattie's health problems started in the spring of 1998. After some flu and a cold, she suddenly couldn't walk anymore within a week. Acute muscular rheumatism (PMR), as it turned out. This was accompanied by severe stiffness and pains. A doctor at the hospital told her to keep in mind that this could be the road to rheumatism, a wheelchair and the nursing home. Mattie: "I thought: never! That's when my fight against illness began."
