Psoriasis And Rheumatoid Arthritis

How to lose weight and stay in shape with rheumatoid arthritis?

I was diagnosed a little more than a year ago with ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, and now rheumatoid arthritis. I am only 25! My other conditions have seem to gone in remission but my arthritis seems to be worsening. I take Humira and it does help tremendously. If I don’t take it , I actually have to use a crutch or cane to walk. My problem is that since my diagnosis I have become inactive and gained weight. I have tried doing mild exercise such as walking but all this flares my knees and hips up so bad that I end up in bed for days. What can I do to lose the 30 pounds I have gained and try to live a life more healthy with activity?

My initial suggestion would be to try an eliptical machine for exercise but if you are having issues from simply walking, then I dont think that will help.

My recommendation would be to take some swimming classes. It will help by reducing tension buildup on your joints while exercising.

Yoga would be a good solution as well. You can certainly tone the body and help stimulate bloodflow to joints and muscles without causing too much strain.

As for the diet, eat sensibly. Eliminate all sugars, wheat, gluten (found in bread and pasta), dairy and anything that is processed.

Eat plenty of lean meats (i.e. chicken and turkey) and fishes, vegatables, fruits in the morning. Nuts are good source of protein and natural fat that your body requires. Bake, broil, or grill your food instead of frying. Remember to drink plenty of water.
