"This is Rachael with Nutrolution in Miami Beach, Florida. In this clip we are talking about how to prevent arthritis. And I'm going to focus here on osteoarthritis, it's one of the two common arthritis, the other one is rheumatoid. But with osteoarthritis the big key for prevention is to make sure that you are getting number one enough minerals and fatty acids into your diet. These are the two things that comprise the bone matrix. So getting your minerals and your fatty acids into your diet and two is limiting inflammation and acidity in your diet. So inflammation and acidity come from things like sugar, inflammatory proteins such as gluten coming from some of your starchy grains. As well as casein and soy are also inflammatory proteins. And so focusing in on mineral rich foods, plant based foods that help alkalize your body are things like, my favorite, almonds are actually one of the richest sources of calcium. And all nuts in general as well as your leafy green vegetables like your lettuce and your kale and your broccoli. This has been Rachael with Nutrolution in Miami Beach, Florida."
