19. Red Wine

Also, many medicines prescribed by doctors for the treatment of joint pain do not react well with alcohol. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen have a higher risk of stomach bleeding and ulcers and alcohol taken in conjunction with acetaminophen, methotrexate or leflunomide runs a higher risk of liver damage. That said it’s not all bad news. Based on a variety of studies, red wine can actually be good for you. This is all thanks to resveratrol. It is a compound that is quite effective as an anti-inflammatory agent. Resveratrol is also present in grapes, so if you’re not a big drinker, you can just eat fresh grapes or how about throwing some into the delicious fruit smoothies we talked about earlier?
