![]() Working out, especially working out every day, can lead to inflammation. Depending on your current state of fitness, and the rigor with which you approach your workouts, you may find that your muscles and joints get inflamed from time to time. At A4Fitness, we love offering tips to combat many of the health challenges faced by people who cross-fit or box in our Los Angeles studios. We often suggest that they turn to healthy foods and juices to ease inflammation they may be experiencing. The following are 5 anti-inflammatory juices that we often whip up after a workout. These juices contain ingredients that are known for keeping inflammation at bay, so consider drinking one every day to help your body stay in peak condition. Juice Recipe #1 Handful of cilantro 2 cucumbers 1 carrot 2 stalks celery 1 lemon 2 pears Juice Recipe #2 1 cucumber 2 organic kale leaves 2 organic collard green leaves 3 stalks celery Handful of organic spinach 2 organic green apples 1 1-inch piece of ginger Juice Recipe #3 4 carrots 1 beet 1 cucumber Handful of parsley Juice Recipe #4 Handful of romaine 1 celery stalk 1 lemon 1 organic green apple 1 pear 1 1/2-inch piece of ginger Juice Recipe #5 5 organic strawberries 1/4 honeydew melon (rind removed) 1 lemon Handful of spinach Handful of blackberries Handful of blueberries Plants, like the fruits and veggies in these juices, are extremely anti-inflammatory because they contain phytonutrients that prevent our bodies from overproducing irritating compounds. Drinking anti-inflammatory juices is a great way to help ease inflammation, but it shouldn’t be used as an excuse not to care for our bodies. The best way to reduce inflammation is to live a lifestyle that minimizes the need for the inflammatory response to kick in, which means knowing when to take it easy on yourself.
