Using essential fatty acids for reducing arthritis joint pain
Essential fatty acids provide protection for the whole body. In particular it is effective in reducing inflammation as experienced in joint pain or arthritis.

* arthritis from lupus
* gout

As you age, the constant movement of the joints creates wear and tear. Toxic wastes that circulate in the blood, dead cells, and liquid can accumulate in the various joints and cause inflammation and pain. Continual inflammation can cause damage to the joints. In some cases the cartilage that coats the bone ends, wears down and joints then rub bone to bone causing extreme pain.
Using the essential fatty acids provides lubrication for the joints as the move against each other. This reduces the wear that can occur at these joints and this results in less inflammation.
There are several conditions and lifestyles that contribute to arthritis,
* Obesity
* Diabetes
* Heredity
* Poor nutrition
* Poor digestion
* Lack of water
* Allergies
* Repetitive use of fingers, hands, legs or arms
* Body injuries – sports or accidents

* Borage oil
* Primrose oil

One additional benefit to using these oils is the coating protection that GLA has in the stomach lining.
The standard treatment for arthritis is the use of NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors. These, however, have undesirable side effects such as attacking the stomach lining. Thousands of deaths and visits to the emergency are associated with the use of NSAIDs.
You can benefit greatly if you use NSAIDs by adding GLA oils to your diet and help to prevent the serious side effects of the NSAIDs.
There you have it. Eat the essential fatty acids and provide your body with what it needs to build strong and healthy joints. Rudy Silva has a degree in Physics and is a Natural Nutritionist.
