Joint-health and Arthritis Foods
Lowering blood pressure and lubricating joints, this super refreshing soup is of course, anti-inflammatory and rich in antioxidants.
Avocado is not only rich in plant hormones: beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol, which are amazing forces for inflammation reduction, but it is also a great source of omega-3, which adds extra joint lubrication.
Avocados also contain polyhydroxylated fatty acids (PFAs) which are wonderful at controlling and lowering inflammation, as well as protecting UV-induced damaged skin cells.
Cucumbers, rich in potassium and beta-carotene are good diuretics and aid in eliminating uric acid, which will have built up if you have arthritis or gout, kidney or bladder stones.
Dill is excellent for reducing bone loss and along with the spring onions, will support your immune system.
Lemons are potent antiseptics and contain anti-cancer properties. Each ingredient in the whole meal is a wonderful boost, reducing inflammation in your joints; whole body.
So refreshing and replenishing!
