If you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammation can be one of the most painful symptoms. Although, there are no food to avoid, certain fruit and spices are advised in easing inflammation and help you feel better overall.
PINEAPPLE
With its tuft of spiky, dusty green leaves and cross-hatched, golden orange skin, the pineapple is spiny from the outside and sweet on the inside. This popular tropical fruit contains immune-boosting vitamin C. It also provides a key enzyme called bromelain, which is chock-full of anti-inflammatory substances that can help reduce joint swelling linked to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Fresh fruits are better than the canned or bottled processed juice.
GINGER
This root-like portion of a tall, reed-like plant has been used for centuries as a folk-medicine inflammation-fighter. Over the past several decades, researchers have confirmed that ginger possesses chemical qualities that appear to curb inflammation. Sliced or chopped ginger adds zest to a variety of foods and beverages, including stews, soups, pancakes, tea, etc. Fresh ginger packs the most punch, but it’s also available in bottled and powdered form.
TUMERIC
This golden-coloured spice has been popular since ancient times, especially in Indian cooking. It’s also been a spice like ginger and garlic. Turmeric’s secret ingredient is curcumin. This component of the spice helps shut down certain proteins in the body that trigger inflammation. Try using turmeric during cooking.
