Daily Health Tips update for January 23:

More and more research shows promise that certain foods may help keep your joints flexible and keep you moving. While additional study is needed, the foods examined are healthy—adding them to your diet may boost overall health. Here are five foods to add to your cart that may nourish joints:

1. Strawberries. These berries are natural sources of vitamin C, which may soothe joints and keep them flexible while promoting healthy cartilage.
2. Olive Oil. Already known for its heart-healthy fats, studies show that the polyphenols in olive oil reduce inflammation in the body.
3. Salmon. This fish delivers vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, two nutrients that soothe joints and keep them flexible.
4. Green Tea. This brew is a source of a special class of antioxidants, called catechins, which nourish cartilage.
5. Leafy Greens. Adding plant-based foods to your diet delivers vitamin K, a nutrient that seems to keep bones and joints healthy.
