What Role Does Broccoli Play In Fighting Arthritis?

Broccoli has been found to help people prevent or slow down the advent of arthritis. It has been found to be effective against osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is a joint disease which leads to gradual breakdown of cartilage and bones in the joints. It usually affects the hands, feet, spine, hips and the knees. People with osteoarthritis feel enormous pain and debilitating stiffness.

New research shows that broccoli contains sulforaphane which slows down the deterioration of the cartilage in the joints.

Eating cruciferous vegetables like cabbage and broccoli helps in the production of sulforaphane in the body.

Researchers from the University of East Anglia have looked at the effects of broccoli on joint health. This study seems to compliment previous research which observed the effect of sulforaphane on cancer and inflammation.

The study was published in the journal Arthritis and Rheumatism. Sulforaphane was found to block the enzymes which are primarily responsible for slowly degrading the structure of the joint. At present, the researchers are testing their findings on osteoarthritis patients who are about to have knee replacement surgery. The sulforaphane works effectively in laboratory models. Now it is time to know whether it is equally effective in human beings.

While surgery is an option, it is more important to stop or slow down the decay of the joints using any available means. Prevention is always better than cure. According to the researchers, people with arthritis should seriously consider changes in lifestyle and eating habits.

Until now, research had failed to show any positive effect on arthritis from foods. This study is the first of its kind to be able to show that surgery is not the only available option in the fight against arthritis. Diet, exercise and overall lifestyle can also play a major role in treating arthritis.
