I've been adding ginger & cinnamon to tea most days! I like it more than I thought I would. I read that on black pepper, but since I really don't like it I've been lacking on actually using it, good reminder.ANY of the anti-inflammatory food items will be beneficial when added to a daily diet but there can be some negative interaction with certain drugs one might be taking.
I have included Turmeric, other spices plus hot peppers and veggies for decades to help reduce inflammation and pain. Five years ago before my first IRONMAN TRIATHLON I went to a "SHOULDER ORTHO" after being told by my regular ortho that my right shoulder was due for a replacement. The new ortho reviewed scan and report and promptly asked, "What pain meds are you taking?" I replied "Nothing but using lots of Turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, cummin, cayeene pepper, black pepper....." For myself the stuff works, smells up the kitchen when I cook but DW has gotten used to it.
NOTE, Black pepper, actually the perodine is essential to be included with turmeric to increase the absorption.
