Fruit That Helps With Joint Pain

Joint pain can be difficult to live with and can severely interfere with daily life. Many fruits can help you fight arthritis and find joint pain relief naturally, without chemicals or drugs.

Cherry

• Cherry juice has been shown to decrease joint pain, according to Eve Campanelli, Ph.D. She found that her patients experienced relief after drinking dark cherry juice twice a day.

Berries

• Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries have high Vitamin C content and high antioxidant content. Vitamin C helps rebuild cartilage and reduce arthritis pain, while antioxidants fight free radicals.

Pineapple

• Pineapple juice is often recommended to joint pain sufferers because it is a good source of bromelain, a strong anti-inflammatory enzyme which also helps the body break down protein.

Apples

• Apples, applesauce and apple juice all have anti-inflammatory properties which can help when arthritis flares up.

Bananas

• Bananas are a good source of folate and Vitamin B6, which strengthen joints and fight arthritis.
