This Shake Helps With Joint Pain!

Joint pain caused by inflammation can be relieved with this shake

Joint pain can have many causes. Mostly there is an inflammation that causes the joint to swell, heat up and hurt. Then this shake can support your body in healing.

Common disease joint pain

Most of the time, arthritis is behind joint pain. Please do not compare with “osteoarthritis”! Arthrosis is joint wear and tear without inflammation, arthritis is always associated with inflammation of the joint!

Typical symptoms of arthritis are, in addition to pain, warming of the affected joints, swelling and reddening of the affected area. There are several causes of arthritis.

The most common are: rheumatism, bacterial infections (for example after surgery) and gout. However, all forms have one thing in common, pain, which is not only used in pharmacy tablets.

Just try to help your body heal with this really tasty shake!

It is quick to prepare and tastes particularly good for breakfast. We’ll first explain the effectiveness of the individual ingredients:

pineapple

The pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which soothes inflammation and reduces swelling. Therefore, this active ingredient is often recommended after dental or oral surgery procedures.

In order to absorb the necessary amount of bromelain, you have to incorporate a lot of pineapple into your diet, but the active ingredient is also available in concentrated form in tablet form.

If you only occasionally suffer from joint problems and want to prevent inflammation and swelling, simply integrate pineapple products such as pineapple juice or fresh pineapple (please not sugared and only canned fruits without sugar !) In your daily menu.

ginger

One component in ginger inhibits an enzyme that is active in the body when there is pain. If this enzyme is inhibited, the pain is alleviated.

The principle works like a painkiller, only a little more gentle on the stomach and more natural.

Components of ginger are particularly effective against muscle pain, but also with mild headaches and rheumatism, as ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties.

In combination with the analgesic effect, Inger is particularly popular in the therapy of rheumatism and arthritis, as ginger reduces pain and inhibits inflammation.

turmeric

A spice that is rather uncommon in Germany also has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is turmeric, which is also called turmeric and incorrectly called saffron root.

You usually get it ground as an exotic spice. Turmeric gives food an intense yellow color and is much cheaper than saffron.

The taste is mildly spicy, which is why you can use it generously for seasoning against arthritis. The anti-inflammatory effects in knee arthritis have even been confirmed by studies.

Omega 3 fatty acids

Studies have anti-inflammatory potential of omega 3 fatty acids researched and against joint inflammation recommended such as arthritis, rheumatism and inflammatory bowel disease and asthma.

Omega 3 fatty acids are contained in linseed oil in a particularly good ratio of fatty acids.

The olive oil, which has been widely praised by clever marketing, contains almost no omega 3 fatty acids at all. Oils with high levels of omega 3 fatty acids are also: chia oil, hemp oil, walnut oil, rapeseed oil and soybean oil.

Oily sea fish also contains omega3 fatty acids, but in a significantly lower concentration than the vegetable oils mentioned above.

Recipe for the shake against joint pain

• ½ pineapple
• 10g fresh ginger
• ½ teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon of linseed oil
• some water

Peel the pineapple and cut it into pieces. If your blender is strong enough, you don’t have to remove the core in the middle. If you are using a hand blender, remove the hard stalk in the middle of the fruit, then take the whole pineapple to get about the same amount.

Peel the ginger and cut it into cubes. Then put all of the ingredients together in a blender, stand mixer, or tall container. Add water to taste and puree until you have a creamy drink.

You can add more turmeric and ginger as you like, it’s a matter of taste. The shake goes well with breakfast and brings a good portion of fiber with it, which ensures a good satiety, stimulates your digestion and has many other health benefits.
