Well, Spring is here, and the changes in the weather often cause sore joints and flare-ups for arthritis sufferers. So here is a list of foods that help fight inflammation in the body:
- Jalapeno peppers – chop these up raw into your salsa for a great kick and pain relieving power
- Dry roasted almonds – grab a handful of these tasty pain fighters for a snack
- Carrots – they aren’t just for Bugs Bunny… enjoy them raw as a snack or on your salad
- Broccoli – cooked or raw, broccoli quickly goes to work on that inflammation too
- Olive oil – just a single tablespoon drizzled on your salad has as much pain fighting power as an entire half cup of broccoli
- Raw spinach – hope you love salads because adding some raw spinach to it will pump up your body’s ability to fight off systemic inflammation
- Wild Alaskan salmon – wild Alaskan salmon is a heavyweight champion in a small package – a 3oz portion can fight inflammation as well as 6 cups of raw spinach!
