Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis

Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA), a form of arthritis, is defined as a condition of as a result of aging causes of wear and tear on a joint, affecting over 25 million people in the United States in alone. University of Porto Medical School indicated that one must understand the differences in prevalence and incidence estimates of osteoarthritis (OA), according to case definition, in knee, hip and hand joints(3).
The characteristics of osteoarthritis are aching pain(5), stiffness(6), or difficulty of moving the joint or joints(7). The pain usually gets worse in change of weather, at night and in the advanced diseases, the pain can occur even at rest(8). Today management of osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on pain relief and improved physical function through pharmacological, non pharmacological, and surgical treatments(4).
The Prevention and management Diet
The aims of the diet is to provide protection to avoid elevation of the inflammatory effects(139) in induced-degeneration causes of osteoarthritis(133)(134)
1. Green tea
Epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), according to the College of Pharmacy, found abundantly in green tea showed to exhibit its anti anti-rheumatic activity in patients with joint diseases(140) through its antioxidant property(141).
2. Salmon
Salmon is the common name for Salmonidae, born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then travel thousands of miles in the deep sea cold water throughout their life cycle and within five years returning to the exacted location where they were born to reproduce and die.
a. Weight loss
Intake of salmon oil has shown to induce body weight loss in mice, according to the study by University of Washington(142). N3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n3-LCPUFA) enhanced body weight loss, at the end of the 1-month period in 16 children through deduction of insulin resistance(143).
b. Antioxidants
Megadoses of vitamin E, found in salmon oil exhibited pro-oxidative activity, through increased the anti-oxidative capacity of the liver(144).
c. Omega 3 fatty acids
Omega 3 fatty acids is necessary to maintain the ratio of good and bad cholesterol(145), thus reducing the risk of cholesterol inflammation(146)(148) cause of heart diseases (147) and osteoarthritis(133)(134).
d. Anti inflammation
Omega 3 fatty acids not only reduces the risk of inflammatory effects on our joints and improved blood flow(149), by regulating the migration of inflammatory cells(139), but also reduce the elevation of the proinflammatory leukotriene LTB(4) causes of autoimmune diseases(150).
3. Walnut tree
Walnut tree, cultivated for its nut and kernel and for commercial purpose all over the world, is one of the Genus plant belong to the family Juglandaceae about 30–130 ft).
a. Antioxidant effects(151)(152)
Even-though walnuts consumption did not only significantly change the plasma antioxidant capacity of healthy, well-nourished older adults through its polyphenols in inhibitiobn plasma and LDL oxidation(151) but chronic consumption, it improved postprandial serum antioxidants and biomarkers of oxidative status(152) through its antioxidant linoleic acid and pyridoxal phosphate in enhancing total plasma thiols(151).
b. Inflammation defense(153)
Intake of walnuts is shown to promote manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), an enzyme located in mitochondria(154), is the key enzyme in protection of the energy-generating mitochondria from oxidative damage caused by free radicals(155).
c. Diabetes risk
Adiponectin found abundantly in walnut-enriched meal plays an important causal role in insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome(156). Diabetes in older adult is shown to associate increased risk of osteoarthritis(157).
4. Dulse
Dulse, commonly used in Ireland and Atlantic Canada both as foods and medicines, is a red seaweed of genus Palmaria, belong to Family Palmariaceae grown attached to rocks by a “holdfast” in the North Atlantic and Northwest Pacific. Dulse is found in many health food stores or fish markets or can be ordered directly from local distributors.
a. Health benefits
Seaweeds, including dulse, showed to consist a important functional activities, such as antioxidant(158)(160)(161), antimutagenic(159)(162) and anticoagulant effect(160), antitumor activity(160), and modification of lipid metabolism(161).
b. Antioxidants
Dulse extracts showed to inhibit certain lipid peroxidations(162).
c. Weigh loss
As a rich source of fiber, dulse enhances the process of digestion, for making the stomach feeling fullness, thus reducing the risk of insulin cause of food craving(163).
5. Lime (Lemon)
Lime, a around shape with green to yellow in color and 3–6 cm in diameter, is a species of Citrus Aurantifolia, belongs to the family Rutaceae, native to Southeast Asia.
a. Antioxidant
Lime flower extract may contain high levels of antioxidant(164)(165) but lesser than the ethanol extract of cinnamon(166).
b. Vitamin C
Besides preventing the breaking off small vein cause of hardening of the vessel wall(167), vitamin C also improves the digestive system in maximum absorption of vital nutrients and plays an important role in enhancing immune system fighting against the forming of free radicals that cause muscle damage(168). According to the University of Limerick, prior supplementation with dietary antioxidants, such as vitamin C and E may ameliorate muscle functional decrements subsequent to eccentric muscle contraction(169).
6. Dairy Products
Dairy products contain high amount of nutrients, it also has measure amount of vitamin D of which is necessary for the body in calcium absorption(170). Intake of dairy products per day, according to joint study including Université Libre de Bruxelles appears to be safe and may confer a favourable benefit with regard to bone health, such as osteoarthritis(172), rheumatoid arthritis(170).
In elderly Fracture risk, according to the Geneva University Hospitals and Faculty of Medicine, improved bone growth is influenced by dietary intake, particularly of calcium and protein such as Dairy products, yogurts are essential to achieve optimal peak bone mass during skeletal growth and to prevent bone loss(171). Recommendation of consuming 3 servings of dairy products per day during childhood and adolescence, has shown to improve bone health and reduce the risk of fractures in later life(171).
In the observation of a significant dose-response relationship between baseline milk intake and adjusted mean decrease of JSW in women, researcher at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, showed that frequent milk consumption may be associated with reduced OA progression in women and delay in knee OA progression(173).
