I really love smoothies for breakfast. This is one of my favorites. The soy protein keeps me feeling full all morning and has omega 3 fatty acids that fight inflammations. T he pineapple is fights inflammation as well.
1 Cup Soy Milk ( I prefer Light Soy Milk use whichever you like best)
6 oz Pineapple Juice
1 Cup Fresh Pineapple
1 1/2 Tablespoon Cream of Coconut
5 Ice cubes
Place milk, juice, pineapple, cream of coconut and ice cubes in blender. Blend on high until well incorporated. Serves 2. Enjoy
There is nothing more refreshing in the summertime than some nice fresh pineapple to snack on. It turns out that pineapple is good for rheumatoid arthritis as well. Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain which breaks down protein and has anti-inflammatory and pain relieving effects. For best anti-inflammatory effect make sure that you eat the pineapple alone between meals. Pineapple is nutrient rich in potassium, calcium, vitamins B1, B6 and C, It also has copper and dietary fiber. Pineapple contains sulfur enzymes that help in digestion If you take glucosamine for arthritis bromelain can aid in the absorption by up to 90%. If you want to take a supplement to get the benefits of bromelain without eating the fruit it comes in tablet form in 80mg to 320mg each. Make sure that you consult you doctor before taking any supplement. I personally would much rather enjoy the fruit.
