The Arthritis Foundation says that blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, and boysenberries all have the ability to combat arthritis because of their high antioxidant content. Consume a variety of berries throughout the week because they are healthy whether you eat them frozen, fresh, or dehydrated (without added sugar).

Apples are a wonderful source of fiber and are high in antioxidants. Additionally, they add crunch and can aid in reducing your desire for unhealthy snacking.

Pomegranates, categorized as berry fruits, are full of tannins that can help reduce arthritis-related inflammation. Mix them into plain yogurt or add them to a salad for some extra advantages.
