3 Fruit juices to fight rheumatoid arthritis

Fruit juices that can be used to complement the clinical treatment of rheumatoid arthritis must be prepared with fruits that have diuretic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to be effective in combating pain and inflammation, characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis.

These juices must be prepared with ripe fruit or frozen fruit pulp, but they must be ingested immediately after preparation so that their properties are maintained.

3 examples of good juices to treat arthritis are:

1. Pineapple juice

2. Cherry juice

Benefit: It is a juice that makes blood more alkaline, being effective against gout and arthritis. How to use: Beat in the blender 2 cups of cherries + 100 ml of water Take several times a day.

3. Strawberry juice with watermelon

Benefit: It is rich in antioxidants and contains ellagic acid, which fights pain and inflammation caused by arthritis. How to use: Beat in a blender 1 cup of chopped strawberries with 1 thick slice of watermelon. Take 2 times a day.

Organic fruits that can be purchased at fairs or that are properly identified on the packaging in supermarkets have more vitamins and minerals and are the most suitable for use in the preparation of these juices.

The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis must be guided by the doctor but it can be done based on drugs, physiotherapy and in the most severe cases, surgery. The use of home remedies can be useful to complement this type of treatment. See 3 home remedies for rheumatoid arthritis.
