Not only is pineapple healthy for your loved one, but it can add more flavor to their salad, chicken meals, and their juice or smoothies, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Flax Seeds<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flax seeds are another way to naturally reduce pain for your loved one. 1 cup of flax seeds has more than 38 grams of omega-3s.
