Many people are worried about the relationship between diet and arthritis. Personally I am a lover of food and especially enjoy meat; with this in mind here are some pork recipes that you may enjoy. Very nice even if I do say so myself 
Anyway back to the link between diet and arthritis. There is increasing interest in attempting to understand what the risk factors are that lead to the development of rheumatoid arthritis and one of the things that has been identified is lifestyle. There is an increased risk of developing the condition if you smoke, have a large consumption of caffeine and have a diet rich in red meats such as pork and beef.
As with everything moderation is the order and having a balanced diet should help to reduce the risk of getting arthritis.

There are many side affects associated with both medicinal and recreational drugs. I am sure that many people are aware of the dismal affects of Heroin and Meth addiction, and most people probably personally know some one who just can’t seem to get off the prozac.
Fortunately there are many clinics that help in dealing with drug abuse, some of these have not even been frequented by Pete Doherty! Although these drug clinics may offer help to suffers, one of the greatest problems is to get the person who is suffering from an addiction to realise that they need help. In addition to offering help to the sufferer, most reputable rehabilitation centres will also offer advice to the abusers loved ones in how to approach the sufferer and let them know that they need treatment.

This recent paper by Booth and colleagues at the university of Birmingham in Englans takes a look at eating patterns intodays society and analyses the long term effects of weight control with diseases such as Arthritis.
Diverse customary patterns of eating, drinking or movement are hypothesised to be effective in weight control based on laboratory experiments or theoretical calculations, in some cases supported by ecologically valid evidence.
This method is applicable to healthy members of the public and to patients at high risk of and from obesity such as those having type-2 diabetes or chronic arthritis. Weight-reducing behaviour not adequately identified in current best practice educational messages includes: integration of exercise into desk-based employment; uses of stairs; uncompensated vigorous activity or reduction in amount eaten at a meal; protein level and carbohydrate timing in meals; having a “snack”.
This paper presents the scientific parts of a request for funds to integrate a suite of research methods based on theoretical models that can be applied to identify further, culturally and locally specific eating customs that avoid overweight and reduce obesity and can be iterated in a continuous (re)development of evidence-based expert advice and self-care practices in health and chronic disease.
