Lets take a look at the foods in our kitchens that can help reduce inflammation and work to reduce the risk of problems such as tendinitis.

Regular intake of #vitamin C may help reduce inflammation and enhance the body's ability to heal from tendinitis. To help alleviate joint pain and swelling, incorporate vitamin C-rich foods into your diet on a regular, consistent basis. Such foods include #papaya, peppers, #broccoli,#oranges, #grapefruit, #brussel sprouts, tomatoes, cantaloupe, kiwi,#cauliflower, #tomatoes and kale.

A diet rich in whole grains rather than enriched or processed carbohydrates also helps reduce inflammation. Seek a variety of whole grains, such as brown #rice, oats, bulgur, spelt, whole wheat and #rye routinely to reap optimum results.

#Amino acids help repair the cartilage in the body, they are responsible for strength, repair and rebuilding inside the body. Your tissues, your cells, your enzymes and your brain all get their nourishment and protection from amino acids.
#Meat, #eggs, and #dairy are the most common sources. Vegetarians and vegans can get amino acids from foods such as beans and seeds, however these only contain portions of the essentials. Soy intake will provide the complete protein, as well as foods that have been fortified.
