Just because someone has inflammation in the joint doesn't mean they have arthritis if you're eating things that are gonna Negate or even cause inflammation this little remedy that you take to counter that is not gonna work before I talk about What you need to add into the diet to resolve your joint pain? Let's talk about what you need to avoid in the diet sugar to have your disconser up if you're doing too much of that You're going to literally put fire into your joints. The second thing is to avoid this stuff right here seed oils Seed oils like corn oil soy oil canola are very high in omega-6 fatty acids It creates more inflammation versus the omega-3 fatty acids Fish oils caliber oil. That's very anti-inflammatory. Then we have gluten anything with gluten I'm talking about wheat and other grains has a potential for causing a lot of inflammation Not just in your joints, but also in your gut. You also have something called oxalates Oxalates are crystal-like sharp things that can go into the joints and cause inflammation and they can also cause kidney stones and I really think that the people that have problems with oxalates are
People that had a history of antibiotics because you have the microbe in your gut that's supposed to Eat up these oxalates and if it's missing because you had an antibiotic long ago Then you're more susceptible to having this arthritic pain from oxalates especially when you have spinach chocolate Almonds and Swiss chard if you consume more magnesium in your diet You can actually really bring these oxalates way down even if you eat the foods at high in oxalates Then you have other things too that can flare your joints like MSG You're going to find that in fast food restaurants Multiduction is a highly refined starch that can also flare up your joints It's in a lot of processed foods. Then you have nightchates, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes The last chemical we're going to talk about is lectins that would be in beans, peanuts, wheat and especially soy products Electins can increase inflammation and of course the diet that I recommend doesn't include any of those So if you just follow that diet, which I'll put a link down below you'll be really safe
Let's get right into that drink. I'm going to recommend for getting rid of inflammation in your joints And the big ingredient in this is turmeric and I recommend getting turmeric in a powder And we're just going to add a teaspoon of turmeric Take this glass half water and half coconut milk Because it's going to be really creamy if you do that and it's going to taste great And you're going to stir this up really nice And I would take like a little pinch of black pepper because that'll increase the absorption by 2000 percent And then on top of that I recommend putting a scoop of collagen powder For most people it should taste fine. It should taste quite delicious For some people you might need to add a couple drops of liquid stevia if you really need to But I think you'll just like the taste of it. It's kind of a creamy aromatic turmeric flavor with a little taste of coconut But that is going to be the shake and you want to drink that down every single day And for some people they actually heat it up a little bit, not too hot just so it becomes nice and warm Spring is here and the shopping list is long
Time to make a Lowe's run. Buy three bags get three free if stay green one cubic foot garden soil Plus right now members can earn four times the points on an eligible purchase Start spring off strong with these deals and more Our best lineup is here at Lowe's Balance the three twenty five while supplies last Soil offer excludes a last and a why Go on to program subject to terms and conditions See Lowe's dot com slash terms for details subject to change Point booster subject to exclusions and more terms apply one time only offer And they might drink that as a nice warm drink It really doesn't matter if you're having it in the morning and at night But I do recommend for most people have it in the morning that way You can kind of be pain free all day long The thing you need to realize is turmeric compares in effectiveness to ibuprofen And other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs If you take turmeric and the supplement I would recommend a thousand or fifteen hundred milligram doses per day But turmeric inhibits at least four major inflammatory pathways
And then the black pepper increases the absorption And then there's also great things in coconut too Especially being a nice fat to help this fat soluble compound be absorbed even more And of course the collagen can help build up your joints on top of everything else I talked about Now let's talk about Boswellia Sarata In research in 2018 in the phyto-medicine journal Boswellia Sarata showed significant joint pain relief And as effective as NSAIDs And guess what without side effects It's amazing this plant lives in very dry harsh climates In certain countries like India and Asian countries Regions of the earth where there's harsh deserts And there's a resin that is formed and created When there's damage to the bark This particular chemical it's a response to a physical wound in the bark which is wild So basically you're consuming something from stressed out trees
And then when we consume this particular thing It creates a low dose stress in our bodies That then cause our own body to create antioxidant chemicals To then get rid of inflammation The term for that is called hormesis Which is like a controlled stress to improve our survival Just like exercise is hormesis We're actually adding stress to make us healthier What we can do that with various compounds and plants With this thing called Boswellia We are taking something to Potently decrease our inflammation in our joints It compares with medications but without side effects Now that you have the drink for joint pain Let's shift to the best exercise for joint pain And it's called walking Walking compares to hardcore medicine But without any side effects It's not just for your joints It's for extending your life No exaggeration Check it out I put that video right here Watch it now
