Description

One form of arthritis that mostly impacts the spine is ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Spinal fusion is the end result of inflammation in the intervertebral joints, which causes pain, stiffness, and other symptoms. The inflexibility and discomfort caused by a stiff spine can be a consequence of this fusion. Spondylitis, or ankylosing spondylitis, is a long-term disorder that usually manifests in adolescence or early adulthood. But it can also manifest in old age. The precise reason is still a mystery, but researchers suspect it has something to do with the immune system, the environment, and genes. Pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, hips, and knees are among symptoms that can be caused by AS, which can also affect other joints, tendons, and ligaments, not only the spine. There are a few other symptoms that might accompany spinal fusion, such as weariness, inflammation of the eyes (uveitis), and trouble breathing because of the limited chest expansion. Reducing pain and stiffness, keeping mobility intact, and preventing consequences including spine deformity are the goals of treatment for ankylosing spondylitis. A mix of medicine, PT, exercise, and behavioral changes may be necessary. Severe spinal abnormalities or damaged joints may necessitate surgical correction. The best way to manage symptoms and avoid long-term consequences from AS is to get diagnosed and treated early on. Some meals can make inflammation worse and make AS symptoms worse. Processed foods, refined carbohydrates, trans fats, and excessive alcohol are some of the main trigger foods that readers will learn about in this chapter and should avoid. In order to help readers make educated decisions for improved symptom management, this chapter provides practical recommendations on how to identify and eliminate these inflammatory factors from their diet. For people with AS, making a customized food plan is crucial for getting all the nutrients they need and keeping their symptoms under control. This chapter lays out the process for creating a healthy eating plan that is specific to one's tastes and dietary limitations. To help readers make healthy eating a habit, we've included sample meal plans, grocery lists, and meal preparing suggestions. Individuals with AS sometimes experience nutritional deficiencies, which can be supplemented with dietary adjustments. Vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and probiotics are some of the supplements discussed in this chapter as potential tools for the management of AS symptoms. The possible advantages of supplements and how to include them into a patient's treatment plan with the help of a healthcare provider are covered in this article. Diet is just one component of a healthy lifestyle that is essential for controlling AS and improving health in general. Getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, managing stress, and keeping a healthy weight are all topics covered in this chapter. By learning how to easily incorporate these modifications into their daily lives, readers will have the ability to manage their health and thrive with AS. Dietary management of ankylosing spondylitis calls for a comprehensive strategy that prioritizes nutrient-dense meals, substances that combat inflammation, and adjustments to one's way of life. Individuals with AS can improve their health, alleviate symptoms, and live a happier life by carefully choosing their food and using the ideas provided in this book. Always seek the advice of a healthcare provider or certified nutritionist before making any major changes to your diet, but especially while dealing with a long-term illness like AS. Managing AS and living a full life can be greatly improved by adopting a supportive diet, but only with determination and persistence.
