Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Pumpkin Joints Source: RealAge That orange-hued pumpkin on your patio may be the new symbol of arthritis prevention. Beta-cryptoxanthin is a carotenoid found in yellow-, orange-, and red-hued produce, such as pumpkins and red peppers. Studies show this caroteniod could help reduce the risk of inflammatory polyarthritis by up to 40 percent. Get your fill from orange juice, carrots, and watermelon as well. RealAge Benefit: Getting the right amount of antioxidants through diet or supplements can make your RealAge 6 years younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Great information, though I would disagree about peppers. They are a nightshade (along with [tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant and paprika) and are known causes of inflammation, especially if you have type A blood.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 On the other hand, Randi, the capasicum in peppers is a known treatment for arthritis. Perhaps it varies from person to person. Also those peppers are high in Vit C which often helps with pain relief. Welcome to the list btw. BL Great information, though I would disagree about peppers.
