For many years, turmeric was believed to be a powerful anti-inflammatory food beneficial for joint pain and stiffness. However, recent research suggests its effects may not be as pronounced as we once thought. Instead, raw milk is emerging as an intriguing alternative for those seeking natural joint pain relief.

Despite commonly being associated with inflammation, dairy—particularly in its raw form—contains unique properties that might benefit joint health. Of particular interest is raw milk's stigmasterol content, a fat-soluble nutrient broken down in pasteurized milk.

Raw milk contains numerous fat-providing compounds that are structurally significant for supporting joint health. For those wary of its caloric and carbohydrate content, alternatives such as raw cream and kefir deliver these benefits with fewer carbs while also promoting a healthier gut microbiome, involved critically in the body's inflammatory response.

• Raw cream provides stigmasterol benefits with fewer carbs.
• Raw kefir supports gut health and reduces carbohydrate intake.

Macadamia nuts provide additional health benefits beyond joint pain relief. Featured in the video is House of Macadamia, revered for their fresh products from South African harvests and known for promoting insulin sensitivity while being nutritious and satiating. Including macadamia nuts in your regular diet can be a smart choice regardless of your dietary preferences.
