With age, everyone's joints wear out - this is an inevitable process. Improper nutrition can worsen the situation - increase pain or accelerate destruction. Include these 4 foods in your diet and they will keep your joints healthy.
1. Cherry
Scientists from Boston University conducted a study and found out that just 10 cherries every day can protect against the development of gout - one of the most serious and painful diseases of bones and joints. If there are no cherries, then cherry juice or fruit juice will do.
2. Fatty fish
Such varieties include salmon, sardines, mackerel. Several studies looking at the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on joints have found that regular consumption of fatty fish can reduce pain.
3. Starfish extract
This exotic ingredient increases joint mobility, fights infections and improves blood flow.
“Means based on dry starfish extract for joints act purposefully: when applied externally, it restores the normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Oil-based ointments relieve pain and accelerate the regeneration of skin cells.”
4. Olive oil
Oleocanthal, which is found in large quantities in olive oil, has an anti-inflammatory effect. The mechanism is based on the reduction of nitric oxide in chondrocytes. However, remember that it is better to consume olive oil in a cold form, since at high temperature the useful substances are destroyed. The ideal option is to use it as a dressing for salads.
