Ive gone on a reduced sugar, and reduced processed foods diet. I also day for at least 16 hours (5 pm to 10 am) this has helped my osteoarthritis immensely. I am able to play pickleball almost daily. Foods are know to cause inflammation.

Find your inflammatory food and quit it to feel better.

Sorry,.... I also intermittent fast 6 pm to at least 10 am, most of the time to 12 noon. It has helped with cravings. The fasting with no sugar and limited carbs has helped with allot of the OA pain. Now if it seems like If I need something a Tylenol works. You have to find what works for you... We are not all the same and must find our own way.

Currently there is no SCIENTIFIC evidence that diet can reduce joint pain. This seems like a vendor promoting a product…be careful about misinformation folks!

Individuals with OA believe that diet plays a critical role in their physical health and symptoms [26], and prefer self-management and nutritional education pertaining to foods that should be avoided or targeted based on OA symptom impact [27]. Specifically, patients with OA indicate that they are interested in learning about berries, nuts, herbs, spices, and the Mediterranean diet [27]. While there is some research investigating whole foods or diets that are easily understood and accessible to patients with OA, most research has identified specific nutrients or nutraceuticals that may improve OA symptoms. Unfortunately, guidelines and evidence surrounding individual nutrients, extracts, and nutraceuticals are conflicting and provide granular data that are difficult for patients with OA to interpret and implement. Wholistic dietary pattern assessments and food-consumption frequency is a valid method in epidemiological nutrition research to better understand the effects of dietary patterns rather than assessing the consumption of specific micronutrients, as it is difficult for patients, clinicians, and researchers to quantify day-to-day micronutrient consumption [28,29]. Leveraging food-frequency and dietary pattern assessments to determine associations between dietary patterns and OA-related outcomes may be an approach to overcome the clinical barriers of assessing micronutrient consumption and therefore yield patient- and provider-accessible evidence [4]. However, despite the promising direction of nutritional epidemiology in OA research, and patients reporting interest in nutritional education surrounding whole foods and diet [27], there is limited literature that provides a comprehensive overview of findings related to diet and OA management. Thus, there remain a critical scientific gap and clinical barrier to progressing the goal of reducing the overall burden of OA through underlining the evidence-based dietary patterns that improve OA-related outcomes.
