7 Foods To Eat To Prevent Arthritis

3. Vitamin D and Calcium

Since arthritis is a bone disease, you need to support healthy bones. You need both Vitamin D and calcium. The fastest way to get both is through dairy products. Choose low fat versions and replace regular yogurt with Greek yogurt for greatest effect. Just make sure to get dairy with the lowest sugar and fats.

Other sources include leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale and broccoli. As a side benefit, broccoli contains sulforaphane, a compound that slows cartilage damage. Eat veggies raw, roasted or lightly steamed.
