If you suffer from joint pain…

Then you might already know health experts say the single most important thing you can do to feel better…is to cool the fires of inflammation in your body.

Yet, what most people don’t know is the best place to start is NOT with NSAIDs, prescription painkillers, or surgery.

In fact, researchers from Harvard Medical School say the best “tools” in the fight against inflammation and joint pain are NOT found in your medicine cabinet…

They’re found in nature!

It turns out your mother was right when she told you…

“You are what you eat.” and “Food is the best medicine.”

Scientists have pinpointed 12 most powerful anti-inflammatory foods that can bless your body with healthier, more flexible joints and LESS pain.

Many health experts even call them “Healing Foods.”

They say this because the ingredients in these 12 foods are so effective at preventing — and even reversing — achy joints and arthritis.

In the list below, we count down to the number one food for fighting joint pain and inflammation. I'll even show you a powerful shortcut for getting all the benefits of these powerful inflammation fighting foods in just 2 minutes per day!

Number Twelve: Shiitake Mushrooms

Number Eleven: Coconut Oil

Number Ten: Bone Broth

This is my personal favorite because it has so many joint healing properties. Not only is it one of the best anti-inflammatories around, the collagen in bone broth helps rebuild your damaged joints to give them back that youthful feel. You can drink it on its own or use it in your other recipes to amp up their healing power.

Number Nine: Green Leafy Vegetables

Leafy greens such as kale are rich in antioxidants like Vitamins A and C that stop free-radical damage, preventing premature joint aging.

Number Eight: Beets

Another antioxidant powerhouse, beets help repair cell damage and as a bonus are chock-full of magnesium to help in the battle against pain.

Number Seven: Grass-fed Beef

With 2-3 times more anti-inflammatory Omega 3s than conventionally raised beef, grass-fed is the way to go to reduce inflammation in your joints and get rid of those aches and pains.

Number Six: Salmon

Like the red meat of grass-fed beef, this fatty fish is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids that reduce chronic inflammation and inflammatory compounds to lower your risk of arthritis.

Number Five: Blueberries

Number Four: Alfalfa

Its high chlorophyll content along with vitamins A, E and K make alfalfa a vital anti-inflammatory to add to your diet. Add alfalfa sprouts to your salads for a quick inflammation fighting lunch.

Number Ten: Nuts

Walnuts and almonds are pack-full of Omega 3s that have anti-inflammatory effects. You can add them to your salads along with alfalfa or eat a handful for an easy snack.

Number Two: Ginger

This root has been used in Indian medicine for thousands of years. Ginger not only helps reduce immune system reactions that lead to inflammation, it also prevents cell damage. And, it makes an ideal seasoning because it’s so flexible — you can use it in anything from tea to ice cream.

Number One Most Powerful Food: Papaya and Pineapple
