Excessive free radicals in the body can invade or destroy joint tissues. Arthritis itself may also trigger or accelerate the formation of new free radicals. Health preservation and the use of antioxidants can combat these free radicals, while massage can alleviate arthritis. You can consume more foods rich in antioxidants, such as those containing Vitamin A and carotenoids (apricots, peaches, mangoes, papayas, pumpkins, spinach, sweet potatoes), Vitamin C (oranges, kiwis, grapes, cantaloupes, tomatoes, green peppers, broccoli), Vitamin E (malt, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, leafy greens), and selenium (garlic, onions, seafood).
