11. Pineapple, cinnamon and oat smoothie

Starting your day with a nutritious smoothie made from ingredients like cinnamon, pineapple, and oats can be a great choice for knee health. This combination provides whole grains, vitamin C, and bromelain, an anti-inflammatory enzyme found in pineapple. Cinnamon helps reduce joint swelling and alleviates pain, adding flavor as well. To make it, blend together a cup of cooked oats, orange juice, chopped pineapple, water, ground cinnamon, and a teaspoon of honey. Once blended, this soothing drink can help reduce inflammation, which is often the main cause of joint pain. A well-balanced diet featuring these foods can help manage inflammation and decrease dependence on pain medication.
