Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Natural Aspirin To keep your diet high in natural salicylates (the main ingredient in aspirin that helps prevent heart attacks), eat more oranges, raspberries, apricots and cherries. For additional salicylates, season foods with cinnamon, curry, cayenne and thyme. Eating the Mediterranean way relieved pain, stiffness, and hand weakness from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by up to 38 percent in a 2003 study. Fruits and veggies, olive oil, fish, and poultry seemed to chill RA's inflammation. Bonus: The same diet also cuts heart attack risk, which is doubled in those with RA. Hedge your bets with citrus. Does RA run in your family? Loading up on sunny oranges and grapefruits (which are high in beta- cryptoxanthin, an antioxidant) may reduce the risk of getting it yourself.
