Millions of people are affected by arthritis. The inflammation and pain associated with this condition can significantly affect a person’s quality of life.

You can reduce the symptoms of arthritis as well as improve your overall health by having a healthy diet which includes some healthy juices and smoothies.

When making smoothies for arthritis and joint pain, focus on fruits and vegetables that are rich in quercetin and carotenoids, like apples, cucumbers, green tea, lemon, carrots, kiwi, pumpkin, and dark leafy greens like spinach. These foods can help lessen the inflammation and pain.

Another good choice is pineapple, which has an enzyme called bromelain that helps reduce arthritis pain. Turmeric can also be used due to its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and pain-relieving properties.

Moreover, silica-rich vegetables like beetroot can also help the body in utilizing calcium properly, which is important for strong and healthy bones.

Ginger can also help in easing the agony that comes with arthritis as it helps reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation.

Pumpkin seeds can be sprinkled in your smoothie or juice for an added taste and benefits. These seeds have pain suppressing and anti-inflammatory properties that can lessen inflammation and joint pain.
