I thought I�d mention some
good anti-inflammatory
foods and herbs that can also help
with digestion and prevent
cancer.
Ginger is a great
anti-inflammatory food
that is also good to help
digestion and get rid of
nausea. It also has some
anti-cancer properties.
You can get 'candied
ginger' which is dried ginger with
a little sugar on it or you can get it
pickled like you would
find when you eat sushi or
you can buy fresh ginger
and cut it, boil it in
water and drink like a
tea.
Turmeric is an EXCELLENT
herb for decreasing
inflammation in the body
and preventing cancer. It�s
also called curcumin and
can be found in capsule
form, as a standardized
extract or in curry. If
you have just straight
Turmeric in your spice
cabinet, take 1/2 �1 tsp a
day to help decrease
inflammation in your body.
Bromelain is an
anti-inflammatory
substance that is found in
pineapple. Eating
pineapple will help with
the digestion of the food
in your stomach. Bromelain
is also found in capsule
form and can be taken in
between meals to decrease
inflammation.
Boswellya is also called
frankincense and is a
strong anti-inflammatory
for joint pain. It can be
used for muscle pain too.
This is found in capsule
form and is commonly mixed
with other
anti-inflammatory herbs
for a stronger effect.
If you have some pain and
inflammation give some of
the natural remedies a try
before you take Advil or
Tylenol. |
