Inflammation in the body is one of the common causes of progressive symptoms in many chronic ailments, including PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), hypertension, cholesterol, and diabetes. If anything, it worsens the conditions and makes it difficult for patients to manage their health despite medication.
While eating healthy is the solution, most people don’t understand what is leading to inflammation in their bodies. Since it is the natural response of the body, you can tackle it with homemade juices prepared in your cold-press juicer. You can use the appliance to prepare anti-inflammatory concoctions that will help you feel better and manage your health ailments.
Green Apple-Spinach Juice
Spinach is rich in iron, and green apples have fibre. Together, these ingredients make a solution that can reduce oxidative stress by loading the body with magnesium and keeping you hydrated. Add fresh parsley, cucumber, and lemon juice for zesty notes. This juice will help you overcome inflammation and other health ailments that it gives birth to, like fatigue, bloating, pain, stiffness of joints, etc.
Orange-Turmeric Juice
Several studies have concluded that turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, but it also has a slightly bitter taste. While juicing the spice and slices of orange in your cold press juicer, add a dash of pepper. Oranges have antioxidants, making this drink an elixir for your skin. Pepper will boost the absorption of curcumin in turmeric, allowing this golden drink to work its charm and boost the immune system.
Mango-Basil Juice
Compared to any other fruit, mangoes are available in abundance across Indian streets during summer. The king of fruits has antioxidants and vitamin C, which make it a nutritious addition to the recipe. Basil comes with anti-inflammatory properties and a fresh mouth feel. This herby beverage is hydrating and will do wonders for your inflammation when consumed in moderation.
Carrot-Ginger Juice
Blend carrot and ginger roots in the cold press juicer along with half a lemon to yield a glass of orange-ish drink. With curcumin in ginger and beta-carotene in carrots, this beverage is loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It boasts spicy, sweet, and tangy notes, leaving an invigorating sensation in your mouth. However, you must note to consume it soon after preparing it for maximum nutrient absorption.
Cucumber-Mint Juice
Lemon, mint, aloe vera, and cucumber can be crushed in a cold-press juicer to yield a green juice that will detoxify the body, hydrate it, and bring down any inflammation in the body. It is considered good for the gut and skin because of its soothing properties. You can drink it post- and pre-workout sessions to experience respite from the heat and support muscle recovery.
Pineapple-Celery Juice
Blend pineapple and celery together. Add some mint for freshness and lemon for zesty notes. Bromelain in pineapples is known to reduce inflammation and boost digestion. While celery is rich in antioxidants, lemons are rich in vitamin C. This amalgamation of ingredients results in a tropical beverage that tastes delicious and works like medicine for the body, kind of like meethi dawai. If you are struggling to manage bloating, this might help you with that, too.
