Reducing Inflammation with Healthy Smoothies by Jucy Lu

Reducing Inflammation with Healthy Smoothies

My fiance has been recovering from knee surgery he had some weeks ago. I was visiting Jucy Lu the other day, and after our cool business meeting, Vane recommended an anti-inflammatory smoothie for him.

Inflammation is a natural process that occurs in your body as a response to damaged cells, invading pathogens, irritating chemicals, and other negative factors. It is a normal part of your immune system’s reaction to these stimuli. By choosing healthier ingredients like Boswellia Serrata, many of which are perfect in smoothie recipes, Gabe was able to reduce the overall inflammation in his knee.

During the post I will tell you more about a great ingredient we added to his smoothies. It was a personal recommendation from Vane; it’s called Blue Majik.
