Turmeric:
Famous for curcumin, turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that blocks inflammation pathways and protects cartilage. Studies suggest curcumin may rival NSAIDs in reducing joint pain but without harmful side effects.
Cinnamon:
More than a spice, cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde, which helps reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. It may also aid in stabilizing blood sugar, indirectly lowering inflammation. Regular consumption, whether in tea or powder form, may ease joint stiffness and protect cartilage.
