1. Turmeric
Yes, you’ve likely heard about this amazing root many times. Though did you know that turmeric is full of anti-inflammatory properties? Turmeric extract, has in fact, been found to be superior to a very popular arthritis drug that costs hundreds of dollars for individuals, and many billions to tax payers that help subsidize these drugs through Medicaid and Medicare. Turmeric’s cost is pennies for a daily serving.
2. Pineapple
Coastal dwelling Maoris have very low incidence of osteoarthritis likely due to the inclusion of pineapple in their diets. The enzyme bromelain has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. Pineapple also happens to be great for boosting kidney health, as well as increasing bone density and ridding the body of parasites.
3. Ginger
The anti-inflammatory nature of ginger has been known for centuries. Studies suggest that ginger works by inhibiting CO-X2, which is a pro-inflammatory enzyme. A study involving patients who were given 225 mg twice daily noted reduced pain in 63% of the patients receiving ginger supplements compared to 50% receiving placebo.
Though it would be difficult to consume this much ginger without taking a supplement, this would still be preferable to a pharmaceutical med, many of which have unwanted side effects.
