Spondylitis Association of America Introduces New Cooking Video for Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients

The Spondylitis Association of America (SAA) has unveiled a novel resource titled Healthy Living with AxSpA: Cooking with Chef Kevin Gillespie. Aided by UCB's support, this cooking demonstration video aims not only to introduce culinary skills but also to educate and encourage individuals with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) on adopting an anti-inflammatory diet. By doing so, the initiative seeks to better manage symptoms and improve health outcomes for those affected by this chronic inflammatory condition.

Ankylosing spondylitis primarily impacts the spine and sacroiliac joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and a reduction in mobility for sufferers. The video showcases Chef Gillespie, alongside insights from rheumatologist Dr. Hillary Norton and SAA Support Group Leader Dana Marton, assisting in spreading awareness on the importance of an anti-inflammatory diet. Their collective expertise and personal narratives offer a rich, visually engaging guide on dietary choices beneficial for joint health and mobility.

In expressing her appreciation for the project's funding, SAA CEO Cassie Shafer highlighted the crucial role UCB played in providing this valuable resource to the AS community. The video is now available for viewing on the SAA website, extending a helpful tool for those seeking to understand and mitigate the impacts of ankylosing spondylitis through nutrition.
