Keep Spinach on Hand for Its Versatility in Cooking

Spinach helps inflammation in the joints because it is a green leafy vegetable that is packed with the antioxidants vitamin A, C, and K. Popeye says spinach makes you strong, but we know it is important to add to your diet for arthritis sufferers. Spinach leaves are versatile foods that help inflammation. I always have spinach on hand to add to whatever I am making whether a recipe calls for it or not. You could toss spinach with mixed greens and I like to use the baby spinach because it is a little more tender. Add spinach to pasta, pizza or soup – the list is endless!

What to Add to Your Diet for Arthritis Sufferers? Bell Peppers!

The second ingredient to add to your diet for arthritis sufferers are bell peppers. I think peppers are one of the best kept secrets. Did you know that peppers are one of the best sources of vitamin C? They are good for your immune system and they are packed with those anti inflammatory antioxidants. Just a half a cup of red bell pepper gives you a full days supply of vitamin C like this delectable easy healthy dinner Stuffed Pepper Bake. I add peppers, just like I do spinach, to whatever I am making. I also cut them in squares and use them as a chip for my favorite dip – Guacamame!

Blueberries Are So Yummy & Versatile

For my last joint friendly food, I had to go with my favorite fruit, blueberries. Blueberries have been touted as a superfood, and they are. Blueberries top the charts in antioxidants protecting the body from inflammation. Add blueberries to whatever you are baking, from desserts to Blueberry Muffin Streusel Cake. Who doesn’t like a blueberry muffin especially with my easy healthy blueberry muffin recipe?! Sprinkle blueberries on yogurt for a healthy and delicious snack. Blueberries are just so versatile. Don’t forget about adding them to your favorite smoothie.
