Can human diet lead to rheumatism? Or conversely, can diet treat rheumatism? For many years, clinicians and rheumatism patients have been concerned about this problem. They have been seeking to improve their condition and relieve their symptoms through diet. So far, their efforts have been partially supported by science. Dietotherapy for rheumatism refers to a therapeutic method to adjust and control the patient's diet in order to alleviate and improve the condition and prevent or reduce recurrence. There are two types: ① complementary therapy: the treatment method of adding a substance to the patient's diet. (2) Exclusion therapy: removing certain foods from the diet. 1. Exclusion therapy is a therapy to remove certain foods from the diet. Food exclusion therapy includes three steps: ① exclusion period: all foods that may cause symptoms are removed from the diet, and whether the symptoms improve or not is observed. ② Re-introduction period: If the symptoms disappear after the exclusion period, re-add the cleared food every once in a while to see if it causes symptoms. ③ Double-blind stimulation period: Design a double-blind experiment, stimulate with suspicious food, study the credibility, and confirm whether the results obtained in the first two periods are credible. This diet control method takes about 6 weeks, which is the most accurate and reliable method to study diet reaction at present, but the specific operation method and time can vary from person to person. Note that this method must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to avoid malnutrition diseases. Complementary therapy is the therapy of adding some substances to the patient's diet. There are many kinds of foods used by patients in dietotherapy, among which fish oil and evening primrose oil are the most studied. In addition, New Zealand green scallop, selenium, vitamins, Chinese herbal medicines, seaweed, ginseng, garlic, honey and so on. It is also often used for patients. Animal experiments have proved that the diet containing fish oil can alleviate the inflammation of experimental arthritis. Clinical application shows that evening primrose oil and selenium can obviously improve the condition of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and its mechanism needs further study.
