Natures Way To Relieve Arthritis PainBy June Parker | Date Submitted: 07/21/05
Category: Life:Health/Nutrition/Fitness PINEAPPLE AND PAPAYAS Medical authorities say that pineapples and papayas can relieve arthritis pain. Research shows that pineapples and papayas have potent anti-inflammatory properties from high levels of bromelain and papain, which are natural enzymes. These enzymes reduce the inflammation in two ways. First, the enzymes neutalize hormones in the body called prostaglandins. These are chemicals that spark pain in the body's nerve cells. Second, they reduce painful pressure from fluid buildup in the joints. This is achieved by the enzyme dissolving joint debris,like tiny bone chips, calcium deposits, dead tissue and blood cells that can clog joints, leaving them stiff and swollen. University teams have found that eating the fruits can diminish inflammation by 25%. Bromelain and papain can turn a leathery-tough steak buttery soft, so you can imagine what they will do for stiffened joints. It will loosen them and restore movement. One of the most important functions of bromelain is to neutralize free radicals, the destructive compounds produced when the body uses oxygen. Pineapple is also rich in vitamens B1 and B6, which also help to ease arthritic pain, while papaya is one of the highest sources of vitamin C. Both of these fruits are low in calories - 40 to 80 calories per cup - and promote good digestion and the elimination of toxins and waste in the body.
