Milk Slows Down Knee Arthritis In Women

Women should drink milk to combat knee arthritis. The same cannot be said for yogurt or cheese. Low-fat milk slows down the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee. This finding was made by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in the US.

Researchers led by Dr. Bing Lu of  Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found that eating cheese increased the progression of knee arthritis in women. Taking high amounts of yogurt had no effect on knee arthritis in either men or women.

Osteoarthritis is the leading form of arthritis which affects 27 million people above the age of 25 years. Knee arthritis tends to be more severe in women.

The study was published in Arthritis Care & Research. According to researchers, it was then evident that milk consumption played an important role in the treatment of arthritis.

The study involved 1260 women and almost 900 men with knee arthritis who gave information of their dietary habits.

The study found that women who drank milk regularly reduced the progression of osteoarthritis. This indicated that more research needed to be done on the effect of milk on joint health.

The researchers encouraged women with osteoarthritis to drink low-fat milk as a way to combat the progression of the disease.

Marlo Mittler is a nutritionist at Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York. According to her, milk plays an important role in bone health. It contains nutrients like phosphorus, calcium, protein and vitamin D.

According to Mittler, how exactly milk slows down the progress of arthritis is a subject which needs deeper exploration.

There are some simple steps that women with knee arthritis can take to prevent the disease from overwhelming them. The most important thing is to maintain a healthy weight. This reduces the stress on the joints. This also reduces the inflammatory action of fat tissue. Consuming vitamin C helps to produce cartilage. Women should remember to consume the required amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and other anti-inflammatory agents.
