Do you cook? Does your marriage partner cook for you? Girlfriend? Boyfriend? Did I cover everybody? Oh, you hired somebody to cook for you? Well it’s time to spice up your cooking and meals with the herbs and spices which are great for anti inflammatory and reducing pain and swelling in your joints.
These are some of the best spices you can add to your food diet(and they come in supplement form too), and I mean the best, are: ginger, turmeric, rosemary, and cinnamon. Part of the reasons spices and herbs have this positive effect on the joints is they are rich in antioxidants, bioflavnoids, and enzymes.
I think we forget that the food and spices we eat can be used as medicine. Way, way back in history the “father” of medicine Hippocrates said “Let Food Be Thy Medicine.” Let food be your medicine in supporting your health.
