With tendons and ligaments, because they don't grow or strengthen except with use, it's best to stretch both before and after workouts, and warm up properly. The foods you would best be served by eating are those same foods you would normally include in a healthy diet - fruits, vegetables, proteins, carbs, add in some omega-3 fatty acids, et cetera.

You need protein, but try adding Omega oils to your diet. Also, make sure you properly warm up and down.
