Cold weather can worsen joint pain and stiffness for many, particularly those with arthritis. While medication and therapy remain important, certain foods may help reduce inflammation and improve joint flexibility during winter. Experts suggest fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel, rich in omega-3s, can decrease inflammatory responses. Turmeric, with its active compound curcumin, and ginger are also noted for their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, green leafy vegetables and berries are recommended for their antioxidants and nutrients that support joint tissue and bone health.
