PAINKILLER: Eggs this way

“Eggshell membranes are rich in hyaluronic acid,

glycosaminoglycans and other compounds that reduce inflammation and pain, plus encourage the healing of joint cartilage,” notes nutritionist Josh Axe, author of The Gut Repair Cookbook. But you don’t have to eat the shell to get the benefits: A study in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging suggests a daily 500 mg dose of natural eggshell membrane (NEM) can ease joint pain by 72 percent and increase mobility by 42 percent. One to try: Natural Factors NEM ($25 for 30 capsules, Walmart.com and health-food stores).
