Hi! I'm Stelios Pantazis.
I'm a doctor and I specialize in
medical nutrition and metabolic disorders.
Today, I'd like to warn you
about the foods you should avoid
if your joints hurt.
This study concerns osteoarthritis,
namely the pain that occurs
in the joints over the years.
It has been estimated
that approximately half the people over 60
often complain about pain in the joints
or have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis.
If your joints hurt or
you've been diagnosed with osteoarthritis,
it's important that you avoid these foods,
because studies have shown
that pain reduces this way.
In fact, there are very significant results
that show that these foods accelerate
the destruction of the joints.
Therefore, it's really important
that you avoid them
if you want to protect your joints
and not be in pain.
This video is based on a study
that was published in 2020,
and it monitored 2,757 participants
for six years.
I'll present the foods in order of harmfulness,
starting from the least harmful ones.
Namely, the last foods of the list are
the most harmful to your joints.
Let's see them.
Full-fat dairy.
Much has been said about whether dairy
is healthy or not.
It seems that the answer is it depends.
The study does not clarify
if limited-fat dairy
causes health problems or not.
Therefore, it's not clear
if you can consume it or not.
However, with regard to osteoarthritis,
if you suffer from it,
you'd better avoid at least full-fat dairy.
Ready-made sauces.
Ready-made sauces contain many fats
that often come from low-quality oils
that have often been processed.
Light sauces with tomato, lemon,
vinegar and olive oil
are your only choice
if you want to protect your joints.
Sweets.
Sweets contain many ingredients that
we all know we should consume moderately.
Unfortunately, when they coexist
in large quantities,
it's unsurprising that they're
harmful for our health and joints.
Snacks.
In the study, the term "snack" includes
all dietary garbage
that you can find in bags
and you should hardly ever eat,
such as chips, crackers, salty snacks, etc.
Among the many damages
they cause to our body,
they contribute to the destruction
of our joints.
Eggs.
Eggs remain a controversial food.
Many studies claim that they're not harmful,
some other studies claim that they are,
while some studies even claim
that they're healthy.
Depending on what we measure each time,
or how consumption is defined
or what their framework of consumption is,
the results vary.
Anyway, if the health of your joints
is important to you,
you'd better limit or even quit
their consumption.
Sugary soft drinks.
Another ingredient of the diet
that should be absent from it
is soft drinks.
There's no study that fails to stress
how important it is to avoid them
for any health problem you want to prevent.
If you love your joints,
stay away from them.
Margarine.
Margarine, which unfortunately
some still claim is healthy,
or at least not really unhealthy,
is a bad idea
if you want to protect your joints.
In the category of fats and oils,
olive oil is the obvious choice.
It's impressive that we've already
talked about many harmful foods
and we're still halfway.
Pizza.
I can't understand why in such type
of studies pizza is examined separately,
since most of its ingredients are harmful.
It's no surprise that pizza itself
is harmful for you joints.
It's obvious.
Poultry.
You may be shocked by the fact
that poultry, namely chicken and turkey,
are more harmful for your joints than pizza.
But that's what this study showed.
I could say that even though
I don't like chicken much,
I was shocked to find that it is
considered worse for the joints
than pizza, soft drinks and sweets.
But that's what the researchers
of this study concluded,
so that's what I'm telling you.
It seems that chicken
destroys your joints too.
Much, as it seems.
Red meat.
The meat of mammals, which means
pork and beef in practice,
because in the US,
where the study was carried out,
they hardly ever consume lamb,
so researchers often record it as red meat,
significantly affects your joints.
It's impressive that it is
more harmful for your joints
than pizza, soft drinks and sugar,
which means that animal protein
doesn't fit with our joints.
Alternatively, the high-quality
protein of legumes
seems to be the best choice.
Processed cereals.
Even worse than red meat and all
the harmful foods we've mentioned so far
are processed cereals.
In practice, this means pastry
and pasta from white flour.
Processed meats.
Charcuterie are close to the top of our list
as one of the worse foods someone
suffering from osteoarthritis can consume.
Processed meats or charcuterie are
the second worst thing you could eat
to destroy your joints.
Let's go to number one.
French fries.
Although potatoes don't damage
our joints in any way,
French fries manage to cause
the biggest damage to your joints
than any other food.
