Absolutely — your plate can play a powerful role in how your joints feel.
Some foods can fuel inflammation, while others can help calm it down. Here are some inflammation-fighting foods to include:
- Fatty fish (like salmon and sardines) – Rich in omega-3s
- Leafy greens – Kale, spinach, and other veggies high in antioxidants
- Berries – Packed with anti-inflammatory polyphenols
- Nuts & seeds – Healthy fats that protect joint tissues
- Turmeric & ginger – Natural anti-inflammatory spices
- Whole grains – Better than refined carbs for reducing flare-ups
At the same time, try to limit sugar, processed foods, and excess red meat, which can worsen inflammation.
