6 Anti-Inflammatory Foods For Your Knee, Hip & Back Pain

Being a naturopathic physician, for the better part of the last 20 years, my
main job has been to keep my patients' joints moving freely...or to free them up
when they’re stuck. 

Today, I’m going to share what I’ve learned over all these years with you...and
let you in on a “trade secret” that will help your joints feel like they just
got an oil change. Can you imagine feeling a smooth, effortless range of motion
in those aching joints starting from the minute you get out of bed? This article
is your guide…keep reading.

Over the years I discovered a pattern in patients with joint pain that holds
true regardless of which joint is affected, whether that pain is mild, moderate
or severe, or whether it’s been there for weeks, months, years, or even decades.

When joints are stiff and sore, the REAL CAUSE of the pain is the process that
is happening below the surface. And when you start attacking pain at the “root”,
it goes away and doesn’t come back.

Inflammation- It’s a blessing and a curse. The inflammatory process is a
necessary part of healing from illness or injury, but when that process stays
“turned on” for too long...it becomes a major contributor to every chronic
disease there is. The chemicals of a long running inflammatory reaction will act
like a molecular firing squad that will relentlessly attack your joints, muscles
and nerves—causing steadily increasing pain, stiffness, and misery.

The root causes of joint pain are:




Shipping Notice: Due to increased demand, current estimated shipping times are
3-4 weeks.



Muscle Tension- The tension and stiffness in the muscles and tendons surrounding
a joint is a totally overlooked contributor to the pain that is felt in the
joint. Even minor injury in or around joints can set off major muscle tension
which then causes more pain than the original injury.



Fibrosis - Fibrosis is a medical word for scar tissue. When there is
inflammation and muscle tension in and around a joint...it doesn't take long for
scar tissue to begin to form. And when it does, fibrosis will further  limit
range of motion and it can entrap nerves and blood vessels...contributing to
even more stiffness and pain.



When I discovered that this pattern of inflammation, muscle tension, and
fibrosis were the underlying root causes of virtually all cases of joint
pain...it set me off on a mission of scientific discovery.

With my background and expertise in nutritional and herbal medicine, I went
looking for compounds that could address all of the root causes of joint pain at
once. After years of clinical experimentation, I discovered six powerful, all
natural ingredients that alleviate all three primary causes of joint, muscle and
nerve discomfort…

INGREDIENT #1

You may have heard of turmeric... you might even have a jar of it in your spice
rack.

The powder in that jar is made from the root of the turmeric plant, which has
been dried and ground into a fine powder. But, hidden inside that yellow powder
a golden secret.

Turmeric powder contains a wide range of different botanical ingredients known
as “phytonutrients”... one of which is called curcumin.

Recent research has revealed that curcumin acts like a “molecular kill switch”
to inhibit the inflammatory process at it’s very core. 

Curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) does this by inhibiting the action
of an inflammatory chemical called NF-kappa B.

Multiple studies have confirmed that the effect of shutting down NF-kappa B with
curcuminis...you guessed it...less pain. And less stiffness, more range of
motion, and an overall better quality of life.

Imagine, all this from a natural ingredient!

Unfortunately, there’s a catch (there’s always a catch right?). In that little
jar of turmeric powder...less than 2% of it is actually curcumin.  And, as I’ve
said...it’s the curcumin that does the work. 

In order to deliver the full benefits of turmeric for many patients, I
exclusively use a powerful extract called  BCM-95® curcumin...

BCM-95® contains 95% curcumin...compared to the less than 2% curcumin in the
turmeric in your spice rack! 

That makes BCM-95® the world’s best curcumin extract with over 50 clinical
studies and a 15-year track record for safety and effectiveness!

The potency and bioavailability of BCM-95® curcumin puts it at the top of muy
list of ingredients to use to keep joints moving freely and painlessly. 

Next on the list is:

Turmeric 

(but not just any old turmeric...)

INGREDIENT #2

Boswellia

Boswellia is a plant extract derived from the resin of the Indian Frankincense
tree.

And most people have heard of Frankincense...because it comes up often in the
Bible. You probably know the story, along with gold and myrrh, Frankincense was
one of the three gifts brought to baby Jesus by the wise men. 

And it is truly... an herb fit for a king.

Boswellia is known traditionally as an effective pain reliever, used to help
reduce the loss of cartilage in joints.

Modern science has confirmed this.

Studies have found that boswellia works to control a number of the main enzymes
that trigger inflammation and cartilage destruction.

And unlike pharmaceutical treatments that only disrupt a single enzyme,
boswellia acts on more than 6 different types of enzymes all at the same time.
By acting upon these enzymes (including a famous one called 5-LOX), boswellia
minimizes the damaging effects of inflammation and stimulates joint repair by
activating the production of collagen.

This helps keep joints lubricated, allowing for smooth, free, frictionless
mobility.

I recommend boswellia to any person who is suffering with pain or any chronic
condition that has inflammation at its core.

That brings us to the next ingredient to help keep joints limber: 

INGREDIENT #3

Quercetin

Quercetin is a plant pigment called a “bioflavonoid” that is found in a number
of common foods, including red wine, onions, and tea...and is associated with a
wide range of health benefits. It also has a fascinating history…

When early American settlers headed west across the country in covered wagons,
they'd carry with them barrels of fat for cooking. To prevent those precious
fats from going bad (and to add some flavor), they'd toss a few yellow onions
into the barrel. 

The quercetin in those onions protected the fat from oxidizing and going rancid,
keeping it safe for human consumption. Modern science has now shown that the
same power of quercetin is helpful for protecting joints from damage caused by
the free radical damage associated with inflammation.

Free radicals are unstable, reactive, toxic compounds that can damage cells,
tissues, significant damage to your body’s cells and tissues—including those in
your joints, muscles and nerves.

Normally, when free radicals are produced, our bodies have a built-in defense
mechanism that uses antioxidants to help bind and keep them in check. But when
free-radical production exceeds antioxidant capacity...that’s when the trouble
starts.

The antioxidant, free radical scavenging action of quercetin is one of the main
reasons why I recommend it to patients in pain.  The other is that quercetin has
been shown to help repair damaged DNA.  In that way, quercetin acts like the
supervisor of an internal cellular clean up crew.

You already know the saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
And you also know that eating more vegetables is part of that equation. What you
might not know is that quercetin is part of the reason why. The quercetin in
plant based foods help to “mop up” the free-radical damage, repair damage to
DNA, decrease the growth of abnormal cells, and slow down the cellular aging
process.

Quercetin is a critical ingredient for anyone interested in preserving the
health of their joints in the long term.

And so is...

INGREDIENT #4

Bromelain

We know it as one of the ingredients in a smoothie or on a summer fruit
platter...but people in the tropics have long used pineapple as a medicinal
plant.

It took until 1957, when a chemist at the Dole pineapple company made a
discovery that explained what ancient islanders had known all along. The inner
core of pineapple contains a powerful healing nutrient called bromelain. 

We now understand the reasons why the bromelain found in pineapple has been used
to relieve joint pain, reduce stiffness, speed healing, improve immunity,
support cardiovascular health, and even relieve indigestion.

As you’ve learned, one of the root causes of joint pain is fibrosis...that
microscopic scar tissue formation that eventually leads to restrictions in
mobility and increased stiffness and pain.  

Well, bromelain is the perfect natural ingredient because it actually breaks up
that fibrous scar tissue.

In fact, this is why bromelain is the active ingredient in meat tenderizer. When
you sprinkle it on a piece of tough or gristly steak, it digests and breaks down
the fibrous protein in the meat - which leaves you with a soft, tender steak.

And...Bromelain can have the exact same effect inside the body.

Breaking up the scar tissue (fibrosis) that restricts joint mobility. 

Increasing circulation in the affected area 

Safely thinning the blood to help reduce the risk of clotting 

Help reduce production of compounds that increase swelling and pain. 

Supporting the immune system...your #1 ally or long-term health. 


Bromelain is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and goes straight to work:








It can break apart the fibrous scar tissue which improves blood flow and
restores the health of connective tissue and organs damaged by inflammation.

And best of all, because bromelain is a food derived nutrient, it’s totally
natural, so you can feel good knowing it wasn't created using synthetic,
chemical derived ingredients.
 
For that reason, bromelain is a critical addition to any effective joint pain
management protocol.
 
But about 15 years ago, I discovered that bromelain works way better when it is
combined with:


INGREDIENT #5

Magnesium

One of these things is not like the others…  

You’ve already learned about why I recommend curcumin, boswellia, quercetin, and
bromelain...and you now know that each one of those ingredients comes directly
from a plant.

But now, I’m talking about magnesium...a mineral that you can find right next to
sodium on the periodic table of elements.




Magnesium is one of the most versatile, abundant, and essential minerals in the
body. It plays an essential role in more than 600 biochemical reactions that
power every cell, every organ, and every body system.

Magnesium is involved in reactions that generate cellular energy, form and break
down protein, manufacture and metabolize hormones, regulate gene expression, and
control muscle tension. 

We absolutely depend on Magnesium for life but unfortunately, for a variety of
reasons, most people do not get enough of this vital mineral. Government data
demonstrates that up to 75% of American adults are not meeting their recommended
intake of dietary magnesium.[1]

This epidemic of magnesium deficiency is caused by three main problems:  

Magnesium is found in healthy foods like vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts,
and seeds...which most people don’t eat enough of.

Even when people do make health food choices, most agricultural soil is depleted
because of corporate farming practices...so even healthy foods don't contain the
amounts of magnesium that they used to.

Stress depletes magnesium.  Need I say more? 






Because magnesium plays an important role in muscle contraction— when magnesium
levels are low…

Muscles tend to go into spasm.

And in the presence of inflammation and fibrosis, those spasms can be even more
intense and unrelenting.  I can’t tell you how many times I have had patients
tell me that their leg and foot cramps almost immediately disappear when they
start including magnesium in their protocol. 

When people get turmeric, boswellia, quercetin, bromelain, and magnesium into
their system… something almost magical happens. But in order for that
combination to have it’s most powerful effect...it needs to get past the guards
inside the GI tract. 

That’s why I also recommend:

INGREDIENT #6

Piperine

Piperine is a highly absorbable plant extract derived from black pepper. I
recommend it not so much for what it can do for the root causes of joint pain...

But because of what it does for all of the other five nutrients I recommend.

And that is...it increases their absorption. Quite literally, piperine gets the
curcumin, boswellia, quercetin, bromelain, and magnesium past the guard gate and
into the bloodstream where they can do their best work.

In one study, when researchers tested the blood levels of curcumin alone versus
combining it with piperine…

After just 45 minutes of use, patients taking the combination had blood levels
of curcumin 2,000% higher than those taking curcumin alone.[2]

But it doesn’t just work with curcumin from turmeric.

Piperine increases the bioavailability of a wide variety of nutrients by
interacting and enhancing the absorption and metabolism of these nutrients.

That’s why piperine needs to be included with all of the other ingredients for
the best results.  What this means is that by adding Piperine to the formula.

So...there you have it.  What you’ve just read is the result of a decades-long
process  of pattern recognition in my practice that led to the discovery of a
simple, safe and natural method that has already helped thousands of people find
relief from joint, muscle, and nerve pain...and I hope it helps you too.
