Instructions: Select ONE option per meal. This global protocol utilizes East-Asian anti-inflammatory principles. Emphasize ginger, bok choy, edamame, seaweeds (mineral-rich for joints), and fermented soy (miso) to naturally suppress inflammatory cytokines.
| Hydration: Drink 3-4 litres of water. Include daily Matcha or standard Green Tea to deliver EGCG, protecting cartilage from degradation.
| Fats: Prioritize sesame oil and intrinsic fats from edamame and seeds. Avoid refined vegetable oils entirely.
