Number six Good foods to fight Arthritis: Brazil nuts

Why they help: Brazil nuts contain huge amounts of selenium – 272 micrograms in just three or four nuts, compared to 63 micrograms in 3 ounces of tuna.

For example, a 2005 University of North Carolina study found that the participants with the highest levels of selenium had a 40% lower risk than those with the lowest levels.

Low selenium may also be linked to rheumatoid arthritis. The mineral helps antioxidants clear out cell-damaging free radicals, aids the regulation of the thyroid gland and may prevent cancer.

How much to eat: 55-200 micrograms a day. If you don’t like Brazil nuts or tuna, you can get 32-35 micrograms in 3.5 ounces of beef or turkey or 12 micrograms in a cup of cooked oatmeal.

Number seven Good foods to fight Arthritis: Onions

Why they help: Onions contain quercetin, an antioxidant that may inhibit inflammatory chemicals, much like aspirin and ibuprofen do. But research is limited.

Worried about onion breath? Boost your intake of kale, cherry tomatoes or apples – all are high in quercetin.

How much to eat: One-half cup of a high-quercetin food a day.

Number eight Good foods to fight Arthritis: Tart cherries

Why they help: “This wives’ tale now has science to back it up

A University of Michigan study suggests that a diet plump with tart cherries can cut inflammation in animals by 50%. And a 2009 study at Baylor Research Institute in Dallas found that 56% of patients with osteoarthritis had more than 20% improvement in pain and function after taking cherry pills for eight weeks.

The magic ingredient is anthocyanins, the pigments that give cherries – and grapes, black raspberries and eggplant – their vibrancy. They’re also powerful antioxidants that cut inflammation.

How much to eat: Half-cup of tart cherries – fresh, frozen, canned or dried – or 8 ounces of juice.
