You have aching joints? You cannot just say it is old age rheumatism. You cannot also claim them to be bone fracture. Have you thought of arthritis? Well, it might be. It can be RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS or GOUTY ARTHRITIS. Consult your doctor and he may advice you to have blood samples taken to be sure which is which, because you cannot know for sure and there are different treatment and precautions for different diseases.
If your blood test results high in URIC ACID, then you have Gouty Arthritis where there is an accumulation of purine/urate crystals therefore should be on a LOW PURINE DIET.
What is a low purine diet? In layman's language it is simply a diet guide to the daily consumption of the right kind of food which are those with least purine content. It is then appropriate to know which food are the high sources of purine. Protein are mostly to contain high purine. Organ meats, tuna family and other salt water fishes like anchovies as well as shellfishes like mussels and clams, beans and bean family, also contain purine. Although animal sources can be named to be more of a culprit than plant sources to gout, according to many studies and research, results still varies in every individual. There are some that are more sensitive than others. One could outright feel joint pains after consuming lentils while others don't. Fat and dairy products also give untoward effect to some, just as yeast does. There are food also that are moderately high and must be taken in moderation (but totally avoided by those with severe gout) such as oats, cauliflower, mushrooms, peas, duck, goose, turkey, bouillon.
Then again, lets go back to basic, "Consult your physician" first. Because you cannot know for sure. You might be avoiding those magnificent food for the wrong personal diagnosis you are doing.
