The Mediterranean diet is strongly anti-inflammatory. It is a delicious way of eating, with less red meat but more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish and olive oil than the standard American diet. People who follow the Mediterranean diet may have fewer arthritis pain symptoms. But that's just the beginning: Plenty of other tasty foods contain anti-inflammatory nutrients, says Wahida Karmally, Dr.P.H., R.D., director of nutrition at the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research at Columbia University in New York City. You won’t be able to ditch your pain-relieving meds, but eating more anti-inflammatory, arthritis-fighting foods may help you feel and function better if you have arthritis. Add these 10 to your grocery list.
