Turmeric has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and clinical trials based on taking it as a supplement showed those with joint pain felt less discomfort climbing stairs compared to those who were taking ibuprofen.
There is still a lot of research being done into the benefits of ginger. However, what is known is that ginger contains two compounds - gingerols and shogaols - that possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Besides being an excellent low-calorie source of protein, cod contains a variety of very important nutrients and has also been shown to be useful in a number of different health conditions. It's a good source of blood-thinning Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as an excellent source of vitamins B12 and B6.
Green beans are a great source of protein, which is essential for maintaining healthy bones and joints - both of which become especially important if you have osteoarthritis.
Garlic contains diallyl disulfide, an anti-inflammatory compound that limits the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines. As a result, garlic can help fight inflammation and may even help prevent cartilage damage from arthritis.
