Arthritis is a painful condition in which swelling and tenderness in one or more of the joints occurs. This typically worsens with age, and many individuals opt for prescription medications such as Theragun, Tremfya, Skyrizi, Advil, Voltaren, Excedrin, Xeljanz, Jax Inhibitors, Rinvoq, and Simponi Aria to help fight inflammation and reduce pain. Aside from medications, people with arthritis can try treatments like physical therapy to improve range of motion, strengthen muscles, or be advised for splints, braces, or surgery, in cases where conservative measures don’t help. What many people don’t consider is incorporating anti-inflammatory foods in their diet to help naturally reduce inflammation and pain as a result of arthritis. Here are the best smoothies for arthritis and joint pain to include in your diet:

1. Green anti-inflammatory smoothie

In a blender, add two handfuls of spinach, ½ cup of parsley, ¼ cup of avocado, 1 tbsp of hemp seeds, ⅓ cup of raspberries, 1 medium apple, and the best ingredient—½ tsp of turmeric, a powerful combat to chronic joint pain and inflammation.
