Ingredients for an Anti-Inflammatory Green Juice

As you study the human body, one of the most interesting parts of healing is the 
process of inflammation. This can occur when your body has experienced some kind of 
trauma, like a deep cut or even an allergic reaction. Inflammation serves it purpose to 
keep your tissues protected and to signal that there has been damage, but it can also 
be a sign of the presence of toxins or an imbalance of some kind. Fortunately, there are 
a wide array of fruits and vegetables that you can add to your green juice for anti-
inflammatory effects. 

Spinach 

This leafy green vegetable has been so unpopular with kids in the past that they created 
a cartoon character to help sell them on its healthy attributes. Spinach is a wonderful 
source of iron, and other minerals, but one of its most important uses is to bring down 
inflammation. If you add a handful of spinach to your green juice recipe, you’ll have a 
greener, more powerful drink that can help you bring down any sort of sudden swelling 
that you might experience. 

Blueberries 

Blueberries are some of the most excellent sources of antioxidants that you can buy. 
They’re high in vitamins, and add a wonderful flavor to just about anywhere you choose 
to include them. Blueberries are very sweet, and can be frozen for long term storage. 
This will save you money down the road because blueberries are normally expensive 
when you purchase them from grocery chains. Buying them in larger quantities and 
freezing them fresh makes sure you know where they came from and that you'll have 
them available for your next drink. 

Cherries 

These red berries are extremely tart, and hide an excellent amount of necessary 
nutrient needed for joint health. Cherries are associated with the ability to reduce 
swelling for people who suffer from some types of arthritis. Cherries can be an excellent 
treat for older parents and grandparents who benefit from reducing inflammation. 

Celery 

Carly is a strong flavored stalky vegetable that is used as a flavor additive in many 
sauces and as a garnish on some dishes. It’s heavily basic and can help settle the 
stomach, and calm inflammation. Celery has a multitude of benefits that you can avail 
yourself of if you decided to make it a part of your juicing routine. 

Papaya 

Papaya is a base fruit that grows in tropical regions naturally. People in those areas 
used the fruit to treat stomach issues and calm upset stomachs to improve digestion. 
It’s also been known that it can reduce inflammation, and it has a very sweet, calming 
flavor. Don’t miss a chance to try this fruit in your favorite green juice recipe.
