RE: Science Brief: Does Eating Broccoli Make Arthritis Better? Updated: It Also May Help With Diabetes

in #science8 years ago

Fun Science-y fact : The main reason Broccoli helps arthritis is because arthritis is worsened by inflammation and broccoli has way more Omega-3 than Omega-6 and generally reduces Omega-6 consumption in the diet

This isn't to say fish is good for this however due to contaminates in it, as well as most high Omega-3 fish has tons of Omega-6 too.
The best solution is vegetables, fruits are good too, and some Chia/Hemp/Flax seeds regularly :)

Sort:  

Broccoli has a variety of compounds that reduce inflammation other than Omega-3 fatty acids as well.
