A recent study published in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage concluded that a diet rich in omega-3 from fish and flax oil could significantly reduce the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis. This study was conducted on guinea pigs that naturally develop osteoarthritis. After feeding the animals an omega-3-rich diet, osteoarthritis was reduced by 50% compared to a standard control diet.
The scientists involved in the research said that the findings are a huge leap forward in proving that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil and flax oil can drastically slow the progression of osteoarthritis, or even prevent it entirely.
A tip: When consuming flax seeds, always make sure they are ground completely first. The whole, unground seeds can mess with your digestion.
