MOSCOW, 28 Apr. Doctors recommend increasing the consumption of green tea for joint problems, according to the portal «Doctor Peter». Foods containing antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and painkillers will help relieve joint pain. Green tea, which is also rich in polyphenols, has such properties. This drink can reduce inflammation and slow down the destruction of cartilage. What's more, tea contains an antioxidant that blocks molecules that damage joints in those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. In addition to tea, green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, and cabbage can be used to prevent joints. They contain vitamins C, E and K, as well as calcium, which helps strengthen bones. Experts recommend steaming vegetables instead of frying or boiling them.
