00:00Are you over 60 and feeling those aches and pains in your joints more than ever?

00:05You're not alone.

00:07But what if I told you that some of the foods you eat every day might be making it worse?

00:12Today, we're uncovering the seven surprising foods that can wreak havoc on your joint health,

00:18and I'll share some delicious alternatives that can help you feel better.

00:22First on our list, sugary drinks.

00:25Sodas, sweet teas, and fruit juices are loaded with sugar,

00:28which triggers inflammation throughout your body, especially in your joints.

00:33Try swapping them for a refreshing glass of water with a slice of lemon or cucumber instead.

00:39Your joints will thank you.

00:40Next up, refined carbohydrates.

00:43Think white bread, pasta, and pastries.

00:46These foods have a high glycemic index, which can spike inflammation.

00:50For a joint-friendly switch, embrace whole grains like oatmeal, quinoa, and brown rice.

00:56They're packed with fiber and help keep inflammation in check.

01:00Number three is processed meats.

01:02Sausages, bacon, and deli meats contain compounds that can increase inflammation and joint pain.

01:08A fantastic alternative is fatty fish like salmon or mackerel.

01:12They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are powerful anti-inflammatories.

01:17Fourth, we have fried foods.

01:21French fries and fried chicken might be tempting,

01:24but the high-heat cooking and unhealthy oils can seriously aggravate your joints.

01:29Instead, try baking, grilling, or air-frying your food.

01:33You can also cook with anti-inflammatory oils like olive oil.

01:37Fifth on the list is anything with trans fats.

01:40Found in many margarines, packaged snacks, and baked goods,

01:44these are the worst fats for inflammation.

01:46Check your labels.

01:49A healthy swap is to use natural fats from avocados, nuts, and seeds.

01:53Number six might surprise you.

01:55Certain vegetable oils.

01:57Oils like corn, soy, and sunflower oil are high in omega-6 fatty acids,

02:03which can promote inflammation when out of balance with omega-3s.

02:08Stick to extra virgin olive oil for cooking and dressings.

02:12Finally, number seven is dairy.

02:14For some people, the proteins in dairy can irritate the tissue around their joints.

02:18If you suspect this is you, try plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk.

02:24Also, load up on dark, leafy greens like spinach and kale for calcium.

02:29Making these small dietary changes can lead to big improvements in your joint comfort and mobility.

02:36It's all about nourishing your body with the right fuel.
