A balanced eating pattern is more important than any single “superfood.”
Include:
- Leafy greens (spinach, kale)
- Nuts (especially walnuts and almonds)
- Beans and lentils
- Whole grains
- Colorful vegetables
- Low-fat dairy or fortified alternatives
Foods That May Worsen Inflammation
Some people benefit from limiting:
- Sugary drinks
- Highly processed snacks
- Excess sweets
- Processed meats
- Foods high in saturated and trans fats
Reducing these foods can support overall health and weight management, which may reduce stress on weight-bearing joints.
