If you’re wanting to relieve chronic inflammation, get rid of migraines and sore achey joints, then this ginger limeade recipe is just what you need.
The main ingredient in this ginger limeade recipe is of course, the ginger. Ginger contains anti-inflammatory compounds called ginger’s, which offer free radical protection and inhibit nitric oxide production. Normally, nitric oxide build-up forms damaging free radicals called peroxynitrites that exacerbate inflammation in the body.
Chronic inflammation is also very easily relieved by turmeric, whose anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects have been equated with that of popular pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin, Ibuprofen and hydrocortisone. When you get rid of inflammation in the body, you also subsequently get rid of pain, which means less pain in your bones and joints.
This drink also helps alleviate migraines – just 1/8th of a teaspoon of powdered ginger found to work as well as the migraine headache drug sumatriptan (Imitrex) without the side-effects!

Hi what to use against hypertension
Do you post a smoothie a day?
Hello – I do not post a smoothie every day, but hypertension can be managed by changing your diet. Try to avoid foods with a lot of saturated fat (like meat, eggs, dairy), and consume more leafy greens and veggies and fruit!
