Anything that's good for your joints is also good for your feet. Coffee, however, is surprisingly counterproductive: it produces acid in the body and can damage your joints. The caffeine also stimulates your metabolism, thus encouraging the production of sweat. Sage tea is a good alternative because it does the opposite and reduces sweat production.
Our feet also benefit from apples and grapes, as the biotin in these fruits helps strengthen the nails, and omega-3 fatty acids (e.g. fish or linseed oil), which keep our blood vessels in shape.
