Do you have knee pain? Millions of people suffer from painful knees and if you do you certainly are not alone. The medical field can suggest from keeping active, dropping some weight, injections or surgery.
Did you know that some foods may help?
1. Fruit containing vitamin C can protect the knee joint and supporting structures. The fruit reduces the risk developing bone marrow lesions. The vitamin C packed fruits are kiwi, papaya, oranges, mango, and grapefruit.
2. Fish and fish oil can ease joint pain. Omega - 3 fatty acids may block chemicals that cause inflammation in osteoarthritis but also blocks protein that wears down knee cartilage. The recommendation suggests two servings of oily fish weekly or a daily supplement of fish oil. The best fish for the Omega - fatty acids are mackerel and salmon.
3. Apple cider vinegar is a respected home remedy used by many to treat a number of common ailments and nagging aches and pains. This is my savior. I use one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar daily. You can add a little water if the vinegar is too strong tasting. I personally receive arthritis pain relief in my hands from apple cider vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar tablets are also available at your local health food store.
4. Soy products contain isoflavones, plant hormones anti-inflammatory properties. Consuming soy protein every day for 3 months people reported less pain. Soy products can be soy milk or edamames.
Of course, for serious pain, the doctors advice is always best prescription.
