Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DMN, CNS – We now know that most diseases today are due to inflammation. (1) Inflammation damages your cells and arterials walls and can cause all kinds of problems, including chronic inflammatory conditions like cardiovascular diseases and arthritis. (2) By reducing inflammation, your body is better able to heal from disease. One of the top ways to decrease inflammation is to follow The Healing Foods Dietand consume plenty of anti-inflammatory foods. If you’re looking for anti-inflammatory diet recipes or anti-inflammatory juices for arthritis, this delicious drink I’m about to share with you has you covered on both fronts. This anti-inflammatory juice recipe is the perfect blend to help support your body’s natural defenses and reduce inflammation — plus, it’s absolutely delicious! Key Ingredients Some of the best natural anti-inflammatory drinks come in the form of fresh juices. Juicing for inflammation and weight loss are very popular these days, but it’s very important that you choose the right combination of foods. Anti-inflammatory fruit juice can be healthy, but a fresh juice that includes vegetables such as cucumbers and celery is even better in my book because it’s typically much lower in sugar! Pineapple is definitely one of my favorite anti-inflammatory which is why I made sure to include it in this recipe. You’ve probably heard about the benefits of pineapple and pineapple juice for inflammation thanks to its high bromelain content. (3) Ginger is another ingredient shown by scientific research to possess potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can even help to decrease muscle pain after an intense workout. (4) Why include green apple in this juice recipe? Aside from its delicious flavor, like pineapple, it’s also a rich source of quercetin, a natural antihistamine and an anti-inflammatory. Low-sugar lemon is also added. In studies using animal models, extracts of lemon peel have been shown to decrease inflammation related to arthritis. (5) So when you’re making this juice, I highly recommend using the whole lemon, peel and all! If you’re looking to make a smoothie anti-inflammatory, you can include some of the fruits and veggies I use here.

Linda Kordich Loveday via NaturalHealth365 – Chronic cellular inflammation is one of our biggest enemies – in terms of achieving optimal health. In fact, many health experts say that inflammation is the root cause of disease. In addition, the psychological (and emotional) stress of living in modern society can actually lower our ability to regulate the inflammatory response. Naturally, the question we ought to ask ourselves is, “what causes inflammation?” And, the obvious answer is poor nutrition and too many toxins – which creates an overly-acidic condition in the body. So, which foods create an acidic environment in the body? Here Are the Top 5 Foods that Trigger Inflammation Unnatural coffee Conventionally-produced alcohol – which actually contain GMO ingredients Processed, simple sugars Factory-farmed, animal foods – again, loaded with unwanted chemicals and GMOs Most sodas (even if they contain ‘natural sugars’ – without the neurotoxin, aspartame) You ought to know that the most recent research is pointing towards the fact that inflammation may be responsible for: type-2 diabetes, obesity, cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. How Can We Reduce Inflammation in the Body? In my opinion, from my years of teaching the value of juicing, one of the most effective ways, is by juicing dark leafy greens with highly alkaline vegetables to accompany them. A more long term and effective way, combined with juicing, to reduce cellular inflammation is to make the decision to live a simpler lifestyle which includes: removing yourself from toxic relationships; learning the art of forgiveness; and being of service to others. After all, our psychological (and emotional) wellbeing is intimately connected to our physical health. In terms of dietary/lifestyle changes, here are 8 ways to naturally reduce inflammation: Add some fresh ginger root and turmeric root (curcumin) to your daily juice or meals. Consume adequate amounts of essential fatty acids – not from animal sources. Eat probiotic-rich foods like, kimchi, sauerkraut or miso soup. Stay hydrated with pure, clean water and try adding some fresh lemon juice. Be sure to include lots of leafy greens in your salad. Get lots of sunshine and relax – as much as possible. Eat grapefruits, lemons and limes – which are alkalizing. (once they reach the gut) Drink green juices Here’s an Anti-Inflammatory Juice that Serves 1 (1 liter) The ingredients include, 2 cups parsley; 2 cups spinach; 2 large cucumbers; 4 ribs celery; 1 inch fresh ginger root or fresh turmeric root; and 1 lime without skin or 1 lemon without skin (unless it’s organic) If I may add, don’t forget these important recommendations: I recommend this tonic daily (1 liter) per person daily for 60 days along with eating a diet high in salads. Keep in mind, 20% of your diet can have other more acidifying foods. Having said that, I have found – for best results – that eating essential fatty acids from foods like, flax seed or borage oils in salads, with lots of vegetables and some grains such as quinoa or millet tend to be better than eating lots of animal flesh foods. Plus, don’t forget to keep yourself well-hydrated and add the other recommendations. You will be pleasantly surprised to see just how well your body responds, even after just one week.
