FIGHT ARTHRITIS WITH FOOD!

Holly Clegg, best-selling author of numerous Trim & Terrific® and Eating
Well cookbooks, joined co-host, Terry Meeuwsen, to share helpful advice and
great tasting meals that viewers can use in their fight against arthritis. Clegg
demonstrated unique and flavorful recipes from her cookbook, Eating Well
to Fight Arthritis – 200 Easy Recipes and Practical Tips to Help Reduce
Inflammation and Ease Symptoms (Copyright © 2013 by Holly Clegg) that
anyone—whether they suffer from arthritis or not—can easily prepare at home.
Clegg strongly believes that what you eat makes a difference in better
health. Along with nutritionally focused, anti-inflammatory recipes, Eating Well
to Fight Arthritis includes practical techniques that address the physical needs
and limitations of people who suffer with the associated pain and symptoms of
arthritis. Clegg shared that most people are unaware that there are over 100
different types of arthritis and it can affect people of all ages, from children to
young adults and beyond, it is no longer just an “old-timer’s” disease. She was
especially inspired to write this cookbook by people close to her who daily deal
with the crippling effects of arthritis. She included the chapter Toss the Fork to
address the physical limitations of eating when you can’t even hold a fork to
eat—or prepare food. The No Fuss Foods chapter presents simple recipes with
fewer ingredients that can be prepared with the least amount of effort so those
dealing with the overwhelming challenges of being chronically ill can still cook
for themselves and their families, if only on their better days.
Eating Well to Fight Arthritis focuses on an anti-inflammatory diet using
food to fight the pain and symptoms of arthritis and reduce inflammation. Clegg
reports that research has shown that overall diets high in anti-inflammatory
foods have lower age-related chronic disease incidence. Chapter 3: Anti-
Inflammatory focuses on three nutritional elements that may be specifically
important in helping to reduce inflammation: vitamin C, carotenoids (or the color
red, yellow, and orange in fruits and vegetables), and Omega-3 fatty acids.
Following are three of the recipes from that chapter along with a few others that
can serve as proof positive that eating to fight arthritis can be a delicious, highly
satisfying experience—with and without a fork.

is because the fat in milk doesn’t contain calcium, which also helps with healthy weight management.
