3 Anti-Inflammatory Smoothies

Inflammation is widely understood to be a major contributor to many chronic health conditions, including arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure and even some cancers, to name just a few. Eating the right foods can go a long way towards preventing, or reversing, chronic inflammation and a carefully assembled smoothie is just about the easiest way to make sure you are getting the right anti-inflammatory nutrients.

If you want to learn more about anti-inflammatory diets, I am currently running a 30-day anti-inflammatory programme that holds your hand as you cut harmful, inflammatory ingredients out of your diet. You can learn more on the programme page.
