Phase 4 – Strategy for a Continued Life Free from Arthritis After you have enjoyed significant gains in reversing the pain and suffering of arthritis there is a natural human tendency to revert back to the habits of diet and lifestyle that contributed to your disease.
DON’T DO IT! PLEASE!
A slow re-introduction of some of the foods you previously enjoyed may be acceptable if you continue to follow the general guidelines of natural diet and exercise that slowed, stopped and reversed the disease; but to stop arthritis for life requires a continued commitment for life. When you are tempted to reach for that fried chicken, or skip a week of exercise, or fall back into the “victim mindset” just remember the way you felt before and how much better you feel everyday now. The temporary pleasure you will get from eating fatty, processed unhealthy foods will pale in comparison to being able to walk normally, play with your children or grandchildren and live an energized and healthy life.
