Recommended foods for those with arthritis will help but you also need to change your eating habits and eliminate also the "junk foods".

• eat more sulfur containing foods such eggs, garlic, onions & asparagus. the body needs sulfur to repair bone & cartilage & connective tissue & will aid in the absorption of calcium
• eat leafy green veggies, fresh veggies, non acidic fruits, whole grains oats,brown rice & also fish.
