High carbs really bad. no go. please. Eat more complex carbs, moderate protein. We in NA suffer from eating way too much protein, up to 300 grams a day. Leads to high C and HD. In Asia they eat about 50 gs protein a day. A much more energy using large dog might eat 35 gms protein. Lots of fish supposed to be good for arthritis. Also GLA and CLA. GLA is found in primrose oil. Look into it. Omega-3 Cancer, arthritis, other inflammatory conditions, and immune system weaknesses are some of the most serious health problems associated with a lack of omega-3 fats. The best dietary sources are fish and fish oils or flaxseed. Three specific essential fatty acids are found in omega-3 fats and oils. They are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Flaxseed is a very good supplement source for ALA. For EPA and DHA, nothing beats cold water fish and fish oil supplements. barfworld.com books.google.com CLA and lipid peroxidation, diabetes springerlink.com vitamins-supplements.org "Omega 3 fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect and have been show to have a beneficial effect in people suffering from lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. Healthy skin and hair are maintained by fat and fat helps in the absorption, and transport through the bloodstream of the fat-soluble vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K." jn.nutrition.org Considerable debate remains regarding the distinct biological activities of individual polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). One of the most interesting yet controversial dietary approaches has been the possible prophylactic role of dietary gamma -linolenic acid (GLA) in treating various chronic disease states. This strategy is based on the ability of diet to modify cellular lipid composition and eicosanoid (cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase) biosynthesis. Recent studies demonstrate that dietary GLA increases the content of its elongase product, dihomo-gamma -linolenic acid (DGLA), within cell membranes without concomitant changes in arachidonic acid (AA). Subsequently, upon stimulation, DGLA can be converted by inflammatory cells to 15-(S)-hydroxy-8,11,13-eicosatrienoic acid and prostaglandin E1. This is noteworthy because these compounds possess both anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties. Although an optimal feeding regimen to maximize the potential benefits of dietary GLA has not yet been determined, it is the purpose of this review to summarize the most recent research that has focused on objectively and reproducibly determining the mechanism(s) by which GLA may ameliorate health problems.
