. . . the other day

that I mentioned I couldn’t remember

the last time I had a cold.

Now I remember.

I caught one yesterday and still have it.

Fish Fight Arthritis

The omega-3 fatty acids in fish bolster your body’s ability to battle inflammation that autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis causes to its victims’ joints, heart and lungs.

A couple of fish servings a week can alleviate the pain and discomfort as can a daily dose of fish supplement.

Vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruit, also can help. Two CCs – celery and cherries – can alleviate the pain caused by gout, a form of arthritis that flares up without warning to attack joints. Cherry juice also can help.

If you’re prone to gout attacks, you should avoid carbohydrates, such as white bread, and commercially prepared baked goods as well as processed foods.
