2 Foods for Healthy Joints
Tip of the Day

As we age, we experience the effects of normal wear and tear on our joints. Small preventive measures - including prudent supplementation, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding intense activities that stress the joints - can help keep joints healthy for a lifetime. In addition, certain foods may be protective. Consider these nutrition tips:  

  1. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet. Focus on foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as cold water, oily fish like salmon and sardines; walnuts; and freshly ground flaxseeds. Spices like ginger and turmeric can also help reduce inflammation. My Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid has more information and specific recommendations.
  2. Eat foods rich in antioxidants. Found in fresh vegetables and fruit, antioxidants may help reduce tissue damage from inflammation.
