The number of people living with sarcoidosis in the US is estimated to be between 150,000 to 200,000; although the number is likely much higher due to the condition being chronically under-diagnosed. Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease where the immune system overreacts to certain stimuli, causing groups of cells to form “granulomas” - clusters of inflamed tissues - in one or more organs in the body, explains Living With Sarcoidosis. It often presents in the heart and lungs, resulting in respiratory problems and intense fatigue for the patient.
Living With Sarcoidosis’ website is designed to help sufferers identify emerging or worsening symptoms and provide advice on the treatment options available. The majority of the content, however, is focused on helping newly diagnosed patients to adapt their lifestyle and diet to help improve their quality of life with the disease.
Adopting a healthier lifestyle through exercise, stress management, and creating a support network are all discussed in detail on the digital forum. Living With Sarcoidosis also includes suggested supplements and herbal remedies to help relieve symptoms associated with sarcoidosis. One such example is incorporating herbal teas or so-called superfoods, like chia seeds, into a daily diet.
Chia seeds are a “nutritional powerhouse”, rich in antioxidants, omega-3, fiber, and protein, says Living With Sarcoidosis. As such, they can provide much-needed support for the immune system, as well as giving patients an energy boost to combat the fatigue associated with sarcoidosis. Patients can find information on the potential benefits and how to include chia seeds into their diet on the Living With Sarcoidosis online platform.
“After I received my diagnosis, I was in shock and didn’t know where to turn to for help,” said one recently diagnosed sarcoidosis patient. “Live With Sarcoidosis was a real support for me in terms of finding simple ways to help relieve my pain and discomfort. I’ve even referred friends and family to the website to help them understand my disease better.”
Those living with sarcoidosis who are seeking information and support are encouraged to visit the new online platform at https://livewithsarcoidosis.com/healthy-living-with-sarcoidosis-the-role-of-high-antioxidant-superfood-chia-seeds
