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.

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.
