This is my third part of blog in which you will find some nice food who can help you in fighting your Arthritis pain.
In first part we learn how olive oil, Fatty fish, vitamin D, walnuts and vitamin C helps us minimize our Arthritis pain. In second part we learn that how cherris, onions and Brazil nuts help us in
minimizing pain. Here are some more simple foods to help us to fight our Arthritis pain.
Number nine Good foods to fight Arthritis: Green tea
Why it helps: Studies show that certain antioxidant compounds in the brew lessen the incidence and severity of arthritis.
One University of Michigan study found that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) lowers production of inflammation-causing substances in the body that cause joint damage in arthritis sufferers.
How much to drink: 3-4 cups a day. Skip the decaffeinated version, which robs the tea of some of the helpful nutrients. “Green tea won’t take all your pain away,” Bonci says, but it can help.

Number ten Good foods to fight Arthritis: Leeks
Why they help: leeks contain quercetin, an antioxidant that may inhibit inflammatory chemicals, much like aspirin and ibuprofen do. But research is limited.
Number 11 Good foods to fight Arthritis: Bananas.
Bananas are perhaps best known for packing potassium, but they’re also good sources of arthritis-fighting vitamin B6, folate, and vitamin C. What’s more, this easily digested, dense fruit is a prime source of soluble fiber, an important part of your diet if you’re trying to lose weight because it helps you feel full without adding calories.
Control ripeness. Bananas are sweetest and easiest to digest when brightly yellowed to full ripeness. To hasten or prolong the period of perfection, put green bananas in a brown paper bag, which encourages natural gases from the bananas to speed the ripening process. Rapidly ripening fruits should be put in the refrigerator, which turns the peel brown, but preserves the fruit inside.
Preserve pieces. Bananas are wonderful additions to salads or desserts, but tend to turn brown faster than other ingredients. Try tossing bananas with a mixture of lemon juice and water — the acid will help preserve them.
Turn into drinks. Bananas, particularly ripe ones, make great blender drinks. Combine a banana, a peach or some berries, a few ounces of milk, a few ounces of fruit juice, and an ice cube, and blend for a delicious, healthy drink that is jam-packed with arthritis-friendly nutrients.
Number 12 Good foods to fight Arthritis- Sweet peppers.
A single green pepper contains 176 percent of your daily needs for vitamin C — and colorful red and yellow varieties have more than double that amount. That makes them richer in C than citrus fruits, but sweet peppers are also excellent sources of vitamin B6 and folate.
Lock in nutrients. Store peppers in the refrigerator: The tough, waxy outer shell of bell peppers naturally protects nutrients from degrading due to exposure to oxygen, but you’ll boost the holding power of chemicals in the skin by keeping them cold.
Separate seeds. Whether cutting into crudités, tossing into salads, or stuffing whole, you’ll want to remove tough and bitter-tasting seeds. They’re easily cut when slicing, but when retaining an entire bell for stuffing, cut a circle around the stem at the top of the pepper, lift out the attached membranes, and scoop remaining seeds and membranes with a thick-handled spoon.
Jam them in the juicer. You might not think of peppers as juicer giants, but they can add zest to drinks made from other fruits and vegetables, such as carrots.
Cook as a side dish. Tired of the same old vegetables at dinner? Slice a pepper or two and do a fast sauté in olive oil, adding a pinch of salt, pepper, and your favorite herb. The heat releases the sweetness, making sautéed peppers a wonderful counterpart to meats and starches.
