[sungir](http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-428113738.html)Cherries are one of the “super fruits” that provide significant health benefits. Cherries help ease joint pain caused by arthritis or gout. The inflammation of these and similar conditions causes significant pain and stiffness. When a person suffers from a medical condition affecting the joints, eating cherries potentially lessens the pain. In fact, [Natural News points out](http://www.naturalnews.com/034479_cherries_gout_arthritis.html) “Cherries contain high levels of antioxidants and anthocyanins, nutrients known to relieve pain, inflammation and stiffness.”Researchers believe that tart cherries have similar effects comparable to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and that cherries potentially reduce the flares of gout and help relieve arthritis pain.
Eating raw or cooked cherries or drinking cherry juice provides the good joint health benefits associated with cherries.

For example, Brazil nuts provide a powerful amount of selenium, which helps control free radicals. A single serving of just one ounce of Brazil nuts provides 780 percent of the daily recommended value of selenium.Cashews provide nearly 40 percent of the recommended daily value of copper and more than 20 percent of the RDV of magnesium. Copper also helps to control free radicals. When you have low magnesium levels in the body you are potentially at greater risk for developing some forms of arthritis.
Walnuts offer exceptional benefits that help reduce inflammation in the joints. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a single serving of walnuts provides over 90 percent of the recommended daily value of omega-3 fatty acids.

The Arthritis Research & Therapy Journal reports that researchers discovered that some properties in garlic reduced inflammatory and arthritic responses. Researchers concluded that garlic “Could be a useful agent for the treatment of inflammatory and arthritic diseases.”Orange, green and yellow fruits and vegetables
