Dill is more than a garnish—it contains unique polyphenols and essential oils like eugenol that have mild anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It’s also a natural digestive aid, helping reduce bloating and support gut health, both critical for those with inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Sprinkle fresh dill over roasted vegetables, fold into yogurt dips, or steep into an herbal tea. It’s a small herb with subtle power—calming the system while lifting the flavor of everyday dishes. For those seeking joint relief through gentle, plant-based means, dill delivers delightfully.

62. Chestnuts: The Forgotten Anti-Inflammatory Nut

Unlike other nuts, chestnuts are low in fat but rich in vitamin C, manganese, and complex carbohydrates that help regulate inflammation and support connective tissue. They’re also high in gallic acid and ellagic acid—plant compounds linked to antioxidant and anti-arthritic effects. Roasted, boiled, or pureed into soups, chestnuts offer a uniquely starchy, sweet flavor that complements winter dishes. For those who find regular nuts too heavy or oily, chestnuts provide a lighter, nourishing option with anti-inflammatory benefits perfect for arthritis-friendly diets.
