Refusing to accept her fate, she embarked on a real battle to overcome the disease and regain her quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>Fasting, anti-inflammatory diet, herbal medicine&#8230; She tells us about her experience and the natural solutions that helped her get through it.<\/p>\n<h2>Fasting, a revelation that changed everything<\/h2>\n<p>Distraught by the disease, Laure began by researching and taking an interest in fasting. A revelation. During her first 14-day fast, she understood the importance of the link between diet and health, beyond the conventional treatments that were not working (anti-inflammatories, painkillers, injections&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>This founding experience pushed her to deepen her knowledge, devouring all the reference books on the subject (Seignalet, Kousmine&#8230;). From there was born her conviction that a natural and global approach could help her relieve her osteoarthritis where conventional medicine had failed.<\/p>\n<h2>The anti-osteoarthritis diet: the trigger<\/h2>\n<p>Laure then began a real revolution on her plate. Out with sodas, junk food and inflammatory foods, in with a healthy, antioxidant and anti-osteoarthritic diet. A radical change for this former addict to protein powders and ready-made meals!<\/p>\n<p>On the menu: foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 for their anti-inflammatory properties, lots of vegetables and spices, little red meat and dairy products. A natural and balanced diet that has paid off by allowing her osteoarthritis to regress.<\/p>\n<h2>Herbal medicine as a backup<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to this dietary rebalancing, Laure became passionate about plants and their benefits. Every day, she drinks herbal teas made from artigraphytum, horsetail or ash, known for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.<\/p>\n<p>A ritual that has become her signature, with her now famous &#8220;plant thermos&#8221; that never leaves her side! Easy to prepare and natural, these herbal teas help her manage pain and osteoarthritis flare-ups on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<h2>Adapted physical activity, an anti-osteoarthritis pillar<\/h2>\n<p>Another crucial lesson from Laure: the importance of continuing to move despite the pain. While she was advised to rest, she realized that regular and adapted physical activity was a real anti-osteoarthritis remedy.<\/p>\n<p>By walking 30 minutes a day and practicing targeted exercises (cycling without resistance&#8230;), she stimulates her cartilage, strengthens her muscles and maintains the mobility of her joints. A virtuous circle that has greatly contributed to reducing her pain.<\/p>\n<h2>The creation of an &#8220;anti-osteoarthritis government&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>To go even further, Laure surrounded herself with a whole team of complementary therapists: rheumatologist of course, but also osteopath, acupuncturist, magnetizer&#8230; Each one contributing to help her regain her former quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>A holistic and integrative approach that aims to take into account all the dimensions of osteoarthritis: physical, emotional, energetic&#8230; With results to show for it, since Laure has managed to put her osteoarthritis into remission and resume a normal life.<\/p>\n<h2>Our answers to your questions about osteoarthritis<\/h2>\n<h3>Can you really cure osteoarthritis?<\/h3>\n<p>Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease, which means it cannot be completely cured. But by adopting a healthy lifestyle and daily anti-osteoarthritis habits, it is quite possible to put it into remission, reduce pain and regain an excellent quality of life, like Laure.<\/p>\n<h3>What foods should be favored or avoided?<\/h3>\n<p>Favor fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants (tomatoes, broccoli&#8230;), fatty fish (salmon, sardines&#8230;), anti-inflammatory spices (turmeric, ginger&#8230;). Limit red meat, dairy products, gluten, sugar and ultra-processed foods that promote inflammation.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you stop sports when you have osteoarthritis?<\/h3>\n<p>On the contrary, it is essential to continue regular physical activity adapted to your condition. Walking, cycling, swimming, yoga are particularly recommended. The goal: to maintain joint flexibility, strengthen muscles and stimulate cartilage, without pain.<\/p>\n<p>Laure&#8217;s testimony is a true message of hope for all osteoarthritis sufferers. It proves that by adopting a natural and global approach, it is possible to regain the upper hand on the disease and find a normal life again. Healthy diet, plants, adapted physical activity&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Her advice is a gold mine to follow without moderation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former high-level athlete Laure Aznar saw her life turned upside down the day severe osteoarthritis literally destroyed her knees.
