DETOX YOUR BODY AND FIGHT INFLAMMATION WITH ONE SMOOTHIE RECIPE

How Toxins Build Up in Your Body

When you think about how many toxins your body comes in contact with every day, it should be no surprise that some of these toxins cause inflammation in the body and on your skin.

The body often has difficulty eliminating these toxins, since the human body was not meant to process this amount and variety of chemicals on a daily basis. As these chemicals build up in the body, they can cause immune system issues and problems like inflammation.

Why This Smoothie Helps

The main reason that this smoothie helps with inflammation is its two main ingredients, pineapple and turmeric. Pineapple is a natural source of bromelain, a natural chemical that minimizes inflammation in the human body. In fact, this chemical is often found to be more effective than over-the-counter treatments for inflammation.

Turmeric is an excellent anti-inflammatory ingredient because of curcumin, a chemical compound that is naturally found in turmeric. This chemical compound also creates curcuminoids, antioxidants that can get rid of free radicals that cause inflammation and pain.

Since this smoothie utilizes two of the most powerful anti-inflammatory foods in the world, you can expect it to have a strong impact on your inflammation. For most people, inflammation is minimal in the morning and gets progressively worse throughout the day.

To avoid the nasty effects of inflammation, start each day with a pineapple and turmeric smoothie. You’ll prepare your body to fight inflammation all day long, kickstart your metabolism, and support your digestive system.

This smoothie is incredibly easy to make. Keep reading to find a recipe.
