Polymyalgia Rheumatica, or PMR, is a condition that causes inflammation in the muscles and joints, and in the United States alone, about 0.5 to 0.7% of the US population of adults aged 50 and older have this. That’s approximately 52.5 cases in 100, 000 Americans recorded annually. Usually, PMR peaks in adults ages 70 and 80.
The exact cause of PMR is unknown, but it is thought to be related to the immune system. People who have them usually experience muscle stiffness and pain. It even gets worse in the morning but improves with movement as you go about your day. For now, there isn’t a specific cure for this condition but treatments to manage the symptoms are usually recommended by doctors.
One of the recommended ways to manage PMR is through diet, particularly by focusing on food that can help reduce inflammation, pain, and stiffness. The food recommendations are good and even if not mainly to help with your symptoms, they are great for your overall health.
