Turmeric

Turmeric is a common ingredient in the kitchen. It is characterized by yellow color and often used for cooking curry. Turmeric contains curcumin, which has many anti-inflammatory properties to ease the pain and discomfort caused by arthritis. In addition, it can slow down the progression of some forms of arthritis. You can take turmeric orally or add it to some recipes, such as roasted veggies, eggs, soups, or even tea. Turmeric supplements can also be purchased in health stores or pharmacies. However, be careful because it would affect some drugs used for treating gallbladder or liver disease, diabetes, or blood thinners. [11]
