What foods are good for your joints?

Foods for joints that are recommended for their restoration and maintenance of health:

Fish with a high Omega-3 content. It is Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids that have an anti-inflammatory effect, improve cartilage tissue, and reduce the intensity of pain and joint swelling. Salmon, tuna, cod liver, red or black caviar, mackerel, and herring should be added to the diet. To replenish Omega-3 reserves, it is recommended to take special dietary supplements.
Vegetables and fruits for joints that contain large amounts of antioxidants. These include broccoli, spinach, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, mangoes, carrots, pumpkin, tomatoes, mushrooms, potatoes, avocados, currants, kiwis, peas, sea buckthorn, etc.
Dairy products and calcium. Calcium deficiency is a cause of osteochondrosis and osteoarthritis, so you should add milk, cottage cheese, hard cheese, etc. to your diet. In addition, foods such as soybeans, almonds, chickpeas, hazelnuts, garlic, parsley, and dill are also rich in calcium.
Cereals and nuts. These foods contain vitamin E, which is important for calcium absorption.
Green tea. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects help with pathological processes in the joints.
