Say Goodbye to Pain in Your Joints, Legs and Spine with This Proven Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

Both old and young people can suffer from joint pain in the knees, legs, ankles, or back.

In general, its cause is an age-related loss of bone cartilage in seniors, while in young people, it is often a result of physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyle.

According to a recent study, 30% of adults are affected with joint pain, which may be caused by numerous diseases, including gout, strains, osteoarthritis, bursitis, rheumatoid arthritis, sprains, and injuries.

Most of these are cured in a period of two weeks to 3 months, but the pain they cause seriously affects the everyday life of a person.

The pain in the legs is usually a result of wear and tear, which is a muscle exhaustion or joint injury due to a tearing of the ligament, bone, the muscle, tendon and other soft tissues. Leg pain may also be caused by poor circulation.

The following anti-inflammatory smoothie will efficiently treat pain in the joints:

Ingredients:

1- inch raw ginger root
2 celery stalks
1 lemon
½ teaspoon coconut oil
2 cups of pineapples
2 pears
a pinch of turmeric
1 orange
a dash of black pepper

Instructions:

You should peel the ginger, orange, and lemon, and core and slice the pears and pineapples. Then, blend all ingredients in a food processor on high speed.

You can consume it right away. It can be kept in the fridge for max 3-5 days. Make sure you use a food processor instead of a juicer, as it will not filter the dietary fiber as waste.

Actually, the high fiber content in this smoothie lowers C- reactive protein (CRP) in the blood, a marker of inflammation which causes diseases like diabetes, heart diseases, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Health benefits

Orange

Leg pain may often be caused by potassium and calcium deficiencies. The body needs high amounts of vitamin C to preserve the health of joints and fight off inflammations, especially in the case of osteoarthritis (OA).
Turmeric

The Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine published a study in 2009 which showed that turmeric is the most potent anti-inflammatory agent. It alleviates knee pain and enhances its function, and it has been shown to be even more effective than ibuprofen in the case of osteoarthritis.

A study conducted in 2006 showed that its active ingredient, curcumin, treats pain and relieves joint inflammation.

Pear

Pears are extremely high in vitamin C, and they alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Pineapple

Pineapples are high in bromelain, which treats joint pain and reduces the symptoms of arthritis. Bromelain also has more enzymes than the majority of non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs.

Lemon

Despite their high vitamin C content, lemons are also high in vitamin E, both of which are potent antioxidants essential for proper function of the body, as they prevent free radical damage of cells and trigger the release of collagen and connective tissue.

Ginger

Its active ingredient, gingerol, reduces prostaglandins, which are the lipid compounds which are the cause of joint pain.

Celery

Celery is extremely rich in vitamin K, whose deficiency leads to bone mineralization and abnormal cartilage, and causes OA in hands and knees.

The regular consumption of this smoothie will relieve joint pain and provide better effects than most of the anti-inflammatory drugs on the market.
