Believe it or not, there are a ton of arthritis home remedies we can easily prepare on a daily bases and at a moments notice.
These arthritis remedies should accomplish two things. They should either reduce inflammation, or assist the body in rebuilding joint tissue. There are quite a number of ways this can be accomplished, but this article is focused on alkalizing, hydrating and nutrient rich arthritis home remedy blends.
Simple Drinks
Some very popular arthritis home remedies are: Lemon water, lime water, mineral water (made with natural coral calcium packets or a mineralizing water filtration system) pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar and berry blends.
These home remedies are a triple threat to arthritis. They reduce inflammation through hydration and alkalinity, as well as providing needed nutrients and anti-oxidants. There is a theory that toxins causing free-radicals can lead to arthritis or worsen the symptoms on an existing arthritis condition.
Most of the world's population is chronically dehydrated. Proper hydration can reduce inflammation in your body, thus reducing your arthritis pain. If some of these water blends are too distasteful for you to consume on a daily bases, you can add a non-refined alkaline sugar such as honey.
It is recommend that these arthritis home remedies are used without honey, or if honey is added, only add a small amount. Sugars, including honey, can lead to unwanted weight gain. Excess weight can contribute to the development of arthritis; especially osteoarthritis and can increase the rate in which joints infected by arthritis deteriorate.
These arthritis home remedies all serve as alkalizing drinks as well as provide vitamins that are beneficial to the healing process and the creation of collagen.
Collagen is an amino acid which comprises the majority of many structures in the body, such as tendons, skin, ligaments and cartilage. If your body does not get the required nutrients to build and recover joints, their rate of healing will suffer, thus increasing the deteriorating effect of arthritis.
Insufficient intake of the body's building blocks can lead to many other very negative effects such as an insufficiently fuelled immune system.
Keep in mind that even though rheumatoid arthritis is an auto immune disease, a deficient immune system will not slow its progress. The immune system is a dominant system in the body. If it is lacking in fuel, it will steal its minimum requirements from other systems such as the amino acids needed to rebuild destroyed joint tissue or broken down muscles from exercise.
Drink Blends
There are a wide variety of arthritis remedies that can be made in the home. Basically, if you are achieving one of the three things we are looking for; you have yourself an arthritis home remedy. The three things are: inflammation reduction, anti-oxidants and nutrient needed to rebuild joint tissue.
An easy way of whipping up a variety of remedies that alkaline the body as well as provides nutrients and anti-oxidants, is vegetable or fruit smoothies. This is also an easy way of adding a natural protein source into the mix without causing acidity in the body. A natural unflavoured whey protein can provide a healthy serving of the amino acids we need for many functions of the body.
A wide variety of fruits and vegetables can be used to keep the blends changing. It is easy to get sick of the same smoothie day in and day out. Berry blends should be used more than melons or other high sugar fruits such as grapes and mango. On average, berries contain a higher concentration of anti-oxidants as well as lower sugar than most tropical fruits.
Keep in mind that these arthritis home remedies are healthy and recommended for any arthritis sufferer that isn't allergic to them. Even people whom have no joint diseases or disorders what-so-ever can use them to simply improve their health and risk of disease.
