Inflammation is the natural way our bodies deal with injury or foreign stimuli as the immune system gets to work healing the problem. This smoothie is excellent for dealing with health issues or as a post-workout smoothie, especially if you have overdone things.
The recipe is from dietitian Alexis from Hummusapien.
Alexis says …
The not-so-protective kind [of inflammation] happens from lifestyle factors like poor diet and smoking, which produce free radicals. Antioxidant-packed foods like berries, leafy greens, turmeric, ginger, nuts, and seeds can help combat the inflammatory disease process and actually prevent illness by neutralizing free radicals. That’s right—the free radical damage that causes so many of the diseases that plague our generation (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.) can be reduced by some of our favorite plant foods!
