Six Foods That Knees Dig
Published Jul 7, 2008
For more youthful knee joints -- or anything that bends -- consider what’s in your kitchen.
These six foods could be your best medicine: berries, ginger, avocado, flaxseeds, omega-3-rich fish, and soy. Research shows they help stifle joint-damaging inflammation, according to John La Puma, MD, author of ChefMD: The Big Book of Culinary Medicine.
On Your Menu
Try this joint-friendly daily meal plan: whole-grain cereal or oatmeal with berries for breakfast, a turkey and avocado sandwich or a soy burger for lunch, a handful of walnuts or flaxseeds for a snack, and wild salmon or tilapia for dinner. (Make this Asian Salmon with fresh ginger for extra anti-inflammatory action.)
