Anyone suffering from arthritis understands how much the condition can make everyday life difficult. When it’s experienced in the knees or hips, it can limit mobility and cause debilitating pain with little relief.
And while many patients find relief from over the counter drugs like ibuprofen or prescription medication, these pills take a big toll on your liver and can cause dependency or even addiction.
That’s why doctors and medical specialists are moving more and more towards healing foods and disease-specific diets. For patients with arthritis, cutting out inflammatory foods from their daily diet can have incredibly beneficial effects.
To relieve pain before it happens, drink this smoothie in the morning and your joints will run as smoothly as a fresh-oiled machine!
