Fight inflammation with these delicious smoothies!
Do you or anyone you know have ADD/ADHD, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, migraines, thyroid issues, dental issues, chronic pain, celiac, allergies, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or cancer? If you answered yes to any of these disorders you are dealing with inflammation. Inflammation affects every aspect of our bodies and over all health. The majority of inflammation starts in the gut causing an auto immune reaction that progresses into systemic inflammation. The scariest part is that this type of “chronic” inflammation can be silent, meaning you may not notice the signs or symptoms right away. If you want to fight and prevent disease, combat pain, and maintain your weight naturally the best thing you can do is keep inflammation at bay with what you put on your fork. So now that we know which foods to eat and which foods to avoid lets make these ingredients shine in some delicious and powerfully nutritious smoothies!!! Cinnamon, blueberries, and walnuts make a delicious way to calm your inflammation and give a boost of antioxidants to your day. You can switch the walnut milk out for hemp milk to save on time (blend 2 cups water + 3tbl hemp seeds for instant hemp milk) because hemp helps fight inflammation and has high protein and healthy fats.
