Spice Up Your Knees
Can herbs and spices be good medicine for your joints? Possibly. One new contender for soothing
creaky knees is ginger.
When people with stiff, sore, osteoarthritic knees took a ginger extract for 6 weeks, they felt
significantly better than their placebo-dosed pals who got fake ginger.
Anti-Inflammatory Action
Long used in Eastern medicine to treat musculoskeletal problems, ginger contains a complex mix of
compounds that researchers suspect helps thwart inflammation in several ways. And in the study,
side effects (stomach upset) were mild. Other foods that have positive effects on the knees are:
berries, avocado, flaxseeds, omega-3-rich fish, and soy. Research shows they help stifle
joint-damaging inflammation.
If you're cooking in the kitchen with ginger, chances are you're lowering your risk of cancer. Every
pantry should be stocked with this knobby-looking rootstock spice. It possesses two
cancer-inhibiting compounds, 6-gingerol and 6-paradol, and it lends a warm, pungent twist to dishes.
In fact, you may be most familiar with the pickled ginger that is often served with sushi. For the most
benefit, choose fresh over pickled whenever possible; simply peel, shred, and mince the root into
foods.
Other spices that may boost your ability to reduce cancer risk include garlic and onion. And,
incidentally, their flavors pair very well with ginger's in soup and stir-fry dishes. Garlic is rich in
allicin, a compound that has been shown to restrict the growth of certain cancer cells. Onion is rich in
quercetin, a polyphenol that has been shown to inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer cells.
