Back Arthritis, Overweight. Does Weight Fluctuation Causes Arthritis? Cured By Diet?
I am 58 with back arthritis; can this be helped by diet? I have been on constant diets my entire life and gone up and down within 20 pounds through the years. I am 5' 7' and weigh 142 pounds which to me is 20 pounds overweight. Did this weight fluctuation cause my arthritis and what do I do at this point in my life. I am fairly active.

Hi, it appears that this weight may not cause the arthritis, but it is preferable to have weight control.
For control of back pain, avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods, when there is more pain.
for control of pain take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods. Thank you.
