🌶️ 2. Bell Peppers
-
Especially red and yellow bell peppers are extremely high in vitamin C, even more than many citrus fruits. Vitamin C is essential for collagen formation, so these can help your body build and maintain the cartilage in your knees and other joints.
-
They also contain antioxidants and compounds like capsaicin with anti-inflammatory effects, which may help reduce joint swelling and discomfort.
💡 How to eat them: Enjoy raw in salads, sautéed with olive oil, or roasted to bring out sweetness and nutrition.
