How to care for your joints naturally

Watch what you eat

Oily fish, nuts, seeds, berries and broccoli all have natural anti-inflammatory (painkilling) qualities. ‘So ensure you pack your diet with these,' says nutritional therapist Fleur Brown. ‘Avoid refined grains (such as cornflakes, white bread, pasta), packaged and processed meals containing vegetable fats (such as corn oil), citrus fruits, cold meats, bacon, and sausages that contain preservative nitrates, and fatty red meat. These foods all stimulate inflammation and pain.'
