Try This Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie for Arthritis Pain!
If you suffer from mild arthritis pain in the morning, after exercising, or because of stress, chances are your body is experiencing inflammation. Factor in not enough sleep and a poor diet, and your pain symptoms can worsen! The good news is the right foods can help kick the early signs of chronic pain to the curb!
Pain, swelling, soreness…you name it, this power smoothie will help fight it! Berries contain flavonoids, which are known to reduce swelling. Green tea protects against free radicals, and the leafy greens contain lutein – a powerful antioxidant. Throw in some ginger and turmeric (which are stronger for inflammation than some medications!) and you’re good to go! Remember to always consult your doctor before changing or adding to your diet. Our Healthpointe doctors at any of our clinics (such as the La Mirada clinic near Whittier, La Habra, Norwalk, Cerritos, Buena Park, and Santa Fe Springs) will help you decide if this nutritional change is right for you.
Ingredients:
1 cup frozen berries
½ cup green tea
1 orange
2-inch piece of ginger
2 cups kale and spinach (packed)
½ cup ice
Directions: Put all ingredients in a blender and blend on high, until drinkable!
