5. Turmeric. One of the best-researched inflammation fighters isn’t a foodat all, but a spice. Tumeric contains a compound called curcumin. The compound has been used for centuries in India to ward off inflammatory diseases. You’ll find this yellow spice in Indian cuisines —particularly curries. 6. Vitamin C. Antioxidants in vitamin C may slow the progression of OA. You can get vitaminC from strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, or cantaloupe. However, we warn you against taking supplements with much higher doses than 65 to 85 milligrams, because in large doses vitamin C can increase the risk of kidney stones.
