Here are some tips on supporting joints and managing joint pain naturally: **Lifestyle Recommendations:** - Consume 6-8 glasses of water a day to support the fluid around joints. - Increase plant fiber in your diet by eating veggies as snacks and with main meals. - Consume protein (chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, nuts or seeds) at each meal. - Consumption of ginger, about a 1 inch slice a day, will act as an anti-inflammatory. - Consume 1 cup of berries a day to reduce inflammation and stabilize collagen. Blueberries are a great choice! - If you have arthritis, avoid consumption of the nightshade family of plants for a couple of weeks to see if it relieves pain. The nightshade family includes: tomato, white potato, sweet and hot peppers, eggplant, tomatillos, tamarios, pepinos, pimentos, paprika, cayenne peppers, goji berries, the use of tobacco, and the herb ashwaganda. Peppercorns (black, white and pink) and sweet potatoes are ok. **Exercise:** - Regular walking has been shown to improve joint function and relieve pain, especially with knee pain. - Aquatic (water) exercise can offer non-weight bearing activity that may be tolerated well if pain is experienced with walking. **Water Therapy:** Most people experience joint pain sometime in their life, but for those that experience it frequently, it can lead to chronic pain. Consider reading my blog post on [Managing Pain Naturally](https://www.naturalfamilydoc.com/2015/08/managing-pain-naturally/) for more helpful tips and coming to this month’s [WellnesSeries class](https://www.naturalfamilydoc.com/resources/events/upcoming-events/) on reducing inflammation through food choices.
