Recommendation

• Eat foods rich in boron (e.g. ground flaxseed, prunes, avocado, raisins, almonds, onion, parsley, cinnamon)
• Gentle exercise (e.g. cycling, swimming)
• 1/4-1/2tsp ginger powder daily
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds daily, ground (e.g. in a coffee grinder) or as tahini
• 1 Brazil nut daily (for Selenium)
• Supplements: collagen powder, Vitamin D with K2, turmeric/curcumin.

Note: if severe consider using special devices to reduce the strain on your joints during your everyday activities, e.g. knee supports.

Results: each of the above has shown benefit in studies. For better results try more than one, more the better.

How it works: reduces inflammation and modulates pain/repair pathways.

Side-benefits: regular ginger or turmeric use may provide a wide-range of other potential health benefits (e.g. help with weight loss, indigestion, blood pressure, cholesterol).
