(Medical-NewsWire.com, February 05, 2015 ) Portland, Oregon -- There are many food items that are believed to contribute to the development of arthritis. These food items include processed foods and dairy products. However, it seems that those who want to reduce their risk of developing arthritis also need to restrict their intake of certain beverages.
Researchers are investigating the effects of caffeine in the development of arthritis. This stimulant is present in many beverages such as coffee, cocoa, tea and sodas. It is widely used due to its capacity to provide a burst of energy and reduce sleepiness.
The University of Alabama at Birmingham investigated whether the consumption of caffeine can increase the risk for joint diseases. It was found that those who consumed 3 cups of caffeine on a daily basis experienced an increased risk of developing joint conditions than those who did not drink caffeinated beverages. While the findings suggest that caffeine can potentially increase a person's risk for arthritis, studies were still unable to validate whether or not it can indeed contribute to the development of the condition.
"Coffee and tea are among the most favorite beverages of many people around the world. However, these results suggest that it may be best for arthritis patients to reduce their consumption of these drinks while further studies are conducted," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association published an article that stated caffeine could potentially worsen the inflammation symptoms associated with arthritis. Research conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases also found that caffeine can potentially play a role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
Health experts suggest that those who are already suffering from arthritis should see their doctor first before combining the use of caffeine and pain-relief drugs. A study conducted by The University of Washington found that mixing acetaminophen and caffeine can increase the risk for liver damage.
Scientists and health experts believe that more studies are still needed to see whether or not caffeine plays a definitive role in the development of arthritis. For now, they recommend that individuals should practice the necessary measures needed to avoid the condition. These measures include weight management and eating healthy food items.
Many health professionals also recommend the use of glucosamine supplements. These supplements are believed to contain therapeutic properties that can significantly help reduce arthritis pain. Some arthritis patients testify that glucosamine supplements have helped them regain mobility, in addition to providing pain relief (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
