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.
