How does the ITIS diet treatment for knee osteoarthritis differ from other treatments?
The ITIS diet, also known as the Supercharged Mediterranean Diet, is unique because it focuses on anti-inflammatory foods to manage knee osteoarthritis, unlike traditional treatments that may rely on medication or weight loss alone. This diet emphasizes the balance of dietary fats, particularly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory effects that can help reduce joint pain and stiffness.138910
