Smoothie Supplements
Feel free to add 1-2 tablespoons of any of these supplements and anti inflammatory foods:
- Hemp seeds
- Chia seeds – an excellent source of monounsaturated fats and to help fight inflammation.
- A few spinach leaves
- Flaxseed
- Almonds or almond butter
- 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar – it’s fantastic for a “pop of flavor”.
Curcumin (the active ingredient in Turmeric) has a long history of use in traditional medicine with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as possibly slowing the aging process. Turmeric/curcumin also helps treat cysts. We have cysts and tumors growing in our bodies all the time as they are caused by inflammation. Depending on what tissue in the body is effected, turmeric/curcumin can help to treat them.
One way we can all benefit from ginger and turmeric/curcumin and increase well-being is with this tasty colorful orange smoothie recipe! It is one of our favorite anti inflammatory recipes and takes as little as 5 minutes to whip up.
