statistics - Inequality for inverse random variable

Let X be a non-negative random variable. I have an upper bound for E(1/X), for instance,
E(1X)aαn
with a,α positive constants, n+. I am interested in finding an upper bound for
E(1Xp)
where p2 using the assumption on E(1/X). My question is: there exists an inequality to an upper bound of E(1/Xp) which is related to E(1/X). In this case, the Jensen's just give us an lower bound since f(E[X])E[f(X)]. Thank you for any answer.
