The best foods that fight inflammation are fresh organic fruits and vegetables, and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. While these foods are anti- inflammatory, you can also be intolerant to certain foods that are normally beneficial. When you continue to eat them, the intestinal lining becomes permeable, which allows antibodies and toxins to enter the bloodstream. Eventually those substances get deposited in the joints creating inflammation and pain. Supplements for Joint Health • Omega-3: Fatty acids found in fish oil (EPA/DHA) help to "turn off" the immune system's inflammatory response. FOODS that FIGHT Inflammation • Ginger Root: Ginger root has a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. Can be taken in capsule form, or use the fresh root as a tea or in food. • Turmeric: The active compound, called Curcumin, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Use abundantly as a spice in food or take in capsule form. • Boswellia: Has the ability to inhibit the production of cytokines (the chemical "bullets" fired by the immune system) in autoimmune arthritis.
