20. Get your daily dose of fiber

You may think of arthritis as being all in your joints, but like many other conditions, there’s a big connection with your gut and the billions of bacteria that live there. “When the gut microbiome is imbalanced, it can influence inflammation,” says Dr. Blum.

Which is why fiber should always be your best friend. Fiber is a prebiotic, which means it feeds good tummy bugs while also pulling inflammatory toxins out of the gut, says Dr. Blum. According to a study, people who ate 22 to 28 grams of fiber per day had a 30 to 61 percent lower risk for OA-related knee pain.
