Colorful Fruits
There is a misconception about fruits because of their high glycemic index, but colorful fruits are excellent antioxidants. As similar to vegetables, some fruits are more potentially effective than others in controlling inflammation in the body. Blueberries are particularly high in one of the most powerful flavonoids i.e., anthocyanins. The anthocyanins greatly help in blocking the inflammatory responses of oxidants in the body. Apples with their rich color are another anti-inflammatory and fiber rich fruit which deliver additional benefits for gut health. Tomatoes comprise of powerful antioxidant, lycopene. It is better to use cooked tomatoes than uncooked ones because the first ones are rich in lycopene. Lastly, pineapple is also a nice choice for its content of bromelain, a nutrient that reduces joint pain resulting due to rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. However, most of the bromelain content is present in the core and stem of the pineapple. Try to blend the core into your drinks to get the utmost benefit.
