What Kind Of Diet Is Recommended For People With Ankylosing Spondylitis?

Can your diet help to control the symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis? The idea is appealing, but so far no particular diet has been effective against the condition.

Nonetheless, it is important to watch your diet carefully. A healthy diet has many benefits, such as:

1. Helping you maintain a healthy weight
2. Promoting strong bones and muscles
3. Giving you the required energy you need to stay active

Healthy Weight

Excess body weight puts unnecessary stress on your joints, particularly your knees. This causes pain and damages the cartilage, thus contributing to osteoarthritis. Being overweight can also make you less mobile, so that even daily activities gradually become more difficult to perform.

Strong Bones

According to the American College of Rheumatology, about half of the people with Ankylosing Spondylitis also have osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is usually common in people with fused spines.

A diet that provides adequate calcium and vitamin D helps to keep your bones healthy and prevents osteoporosis, provided you don't already have it.

Is alcohol a problem?

Alcohol interferes with the treatment of Ankylosing Spondylitis as well as your ability to absorb nutrients from your food.

 Alcohol is known to:

• Intensify the effects of some drugs
• Interfere with certain drugs, making them ineffective
• Impair the absorption of essential nutrients by damaging the lining of the stomach and small intestine,
• Interfere with the absorption and storage of some vitamins

What about smoking?

The harmful effects of smoking are well known. Smoking worsens Ankylosing Spondylitis and can speed up spinal fusion.

In addition, Ankylosing Spondylitis can cause breathing problems by limiting the movement of the chest and reducing the amount of air the lungs can hold. Smoking aggravates those problems and also heightens the risk of respiratory infections.
