Instructions: Select ONE option per meal. This global plant-based and Mediterranean-inspired protocol leverages high-density anthocyanins, polyphenols, and Omega-3 fatty acids to naturally reduce systemic inflammatory markers affecting synovial joints.
| Hydration: Drink 3–4 litres of water daily to maintain optimal synovial fluid viscosity and support continuous metabolic flushing.
| Fats: Strictly avoid processed seed oils. Prioritize Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and avocado for their potent oleocanthal content, mimicking the effects of anti-inflammatory medications.
