6. Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds contain anti-inflammatory nutrients that you need to manage your pain. You should look out for walnuts, flaxseeds, almonds, chia seeds, pine nuts, hemp seeds, and pistachios.

10. Fermented Foods

natural remedies for arthritis pain

Fermented foods make the list because they contain probiotics which encourage the balance of microorganisms in the digestive system. This balance in turn controls inflammation in the body. Foods like pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, kefir, miso, and tempeh should be on your shopping list. 

Anti-inflammatory foods aren’t limited to what you eat either. It’s recommended that you keep hydrated and add some antioxidant-rich green tea to your diet as well. In some cases, the right supplements can be great additions as well. 

Of course, it’s not always easy to change the way you eat. It can be even harder if you have food allergies or intolerances as well as other chronic illnesses that influence your eating habits. The best place to start is with your doctor. They’ll be able to look at the overall picture and advise you on which changes would be most beneficial.
