To avoid most diseases, it's a good idea to eat as many wholegrain foods, vegetables and plenty of fibre as possible. In many cases, the effects of dietary changes will only be felt after 4-6 weeks.

So it is very important to eat a healthy diet and not just for joint problems but also to improve your overall health.

But now let's look at the vitamins you need if you have a gout problem.

Vitamin F

This plays an important role in rheumatic problems. Vitamin F is an unsaturated fatty acid, i.e. omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. For arthritis, only omega-3 is recommended. You can find it in salmon, tuna, mackerel and trout.

Vitamin E

It has great root-retaining properties and therefore has the ability to prevent inflammatory processes. Very good sources of vitamin E are almonds, avocados, broccoli, mangoes, sunflower seeds and peanuts.

Vitamin C

People who suffer from arthritis often take a salicylic acid derivative or aspirin. These reduce the body's vitamin C stores quite a bit, so they need to be replenished. Great sources of vitamin C are lemons, peppers, red cabbage, mandarins, oranges, kiwis.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids significantly reduce rheumatic problems. Very good sources of flavonoids are apples, grapefruit, blueberries, lemons, tomatoes, carrots.

Vitamin D

Deficiency is more of a factor here. So a vitamin D deficiency can also cause joint pain and inflammation. Be sure to watch your vitamin D intake. The main source is sunlight and everyone knows that, but it's also worth taking supplements and eating foods that are high in vitamin D such as egg yolks, milk, liver, mushrooms and salmon.
