3 Anti-Inflammatory Cocktails <\/strong>
\n Nutrition Icon Breaks Down The Health Benefits<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

After a brutally cold winter for much of the country, it\u2019s time to embrace the changing season and cleanse and rejuvenate our bodies with lighter foods, juices and smoothies, says nutritionist and juicing pioneer Cherie Calbom, MS. (\u201cThe Juice Lady\u201d).<\/p>\n

What\u2019s considered healthy and unhealthy seems to change on a regular basis, which is why it\u2019s helpful to recognize further studies that confirm previous findings. Most recently, a study by Georgia State University microbiologist Benoit Chassaing has further confirmed the destructive properties of an inflammatory diet.<\/p>\n

Researchers found that common additives in processed foods including ice cream, margarine, packaged bread and many more may promote the inflammatory bowel diseases ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease as well as a group of obesity-related conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not only intestinal problems; low-grade inflammation caused by food additives has been shown to contribute to weight gain and blood sugar control problems, as well as a host of other chronic disease,\u201d says Calbom, author of \u201cThe Juice Lady\u2019s Anti-Inflammation Diet\u201d (www.juiceladycherie.com), which offers healthy meal options, smoothies and robust juice recipes to help readers live an anti-inflammation lifestyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter the kind of diet you may lean toward \u2013 vegetarian, vegan, low-carb, no-carb, Mediterranean, Neanderthal or any other kind of diet \u2013 any and all anti-inflammation efforts are well worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Healthy juices and shakes are a convenient way to reduce inflammation, revitalize your cells and lose some of those
\nwinter pounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, you can lose weight on the anti-inflammation diet and rejuvenate your body,\u201d says Calbom, who offers just a few of her recipes and discusses their health benefits.<\/p>\n
