What do you mean? When I grew up in the 80s-90s we had way healthier food. Not too mention we were outdoors every min possible. We never even watched much TV until the later 90's when programs became more attractive. We used to wake at 8 on Sundays and be out of the house before 10 with bags of sandwiches and carrot sticks and stayed at the park until lunch time and came back out right after. Yea we drank soda pops and ate fish and chips but we burnt all them off by the evening.

Yes you are right , In Indonesia we call it jamu.. our traditional drinks, full of benefits for health... Actually Our jamu (herbal medicine) has a lot of variants and uses, based on the ingredients ..... we have kunyit asem (like as you made), beras kencur, empon empon, wedang uwuh, temulawak etc. try add press lemongrass, cloves, cinnamon, and javanese coconut sugar.. for more benefits

I have terrible arthritis and can barely walk. I am only 54 and feel like I’m 154. I try so hard to get up everyday. I love these drinks to help fight inflammation. Thank you!

[@Bellz972]

Sorry to hear that 😔 I heard that stinging nettle might help if u massage it on the affected area. Using gloves 🧤 of course to protect your hands. I will say that I haven't tried it myself but maybe u could do some research on that?

[@diabeteshopechannel1613]

Take the green juices daily. Arthritis will disappear slowly but you also need to stop eating gluten and highly processed foods.

[@patriciamcgarr3183]

Topical cream valtaren helps. Also give up sugar too. You have to keep moving too. Maybe a portable bicycle that you can use with a chair will help. So sorry for your pain.

[@cannotbeshaken7889]

Start making broccoli sprouts. They are extremely easy to make in jars ( no dirt needed ) and they are extremely healthy and taste incredible alone as a salad (no lettuce added) . My whole family loves it with Italian dressing, sunflower seeds and raisins. Also take Essential fatty acid like Cod liver oil. And also start making Kefir. Not store bought, but homemade. You can get the Kefir grains off amazon. Also try making the Jamu Juice in this video. I'm so sorry, it sounds horrible.

[@toniclam4313]

I want to thank you so much. For these drinks. I am 67 and all my life. I have woken up with pain and have gone to sleep in pain. I have lived on IB protein. For years. WOW!!! I have no pain now. God bless you!

[@RoseSchwinn]

So helpful, thanks. For the vegetable juice, be sure to add some oil, by adding either nuts, avocado, milk/cream, coconut, etc... because vegetables have oil based vitamins A D E and K that can only be soluble in oil base. Otherwise these vitamins will remain unavailable to the body if taken without an oil base

[@tillygirl7450]

This is so helpful to know. And I FEEL it's true too because when I started to add avocadoes to my smoothies, I just felt better as if I was retaining those nutrients. I have Celiac Disease and have stomach and nutrient absorption issues with this, and smoothies tend to soothe my stomach/digestion. Thanks to you, I now know it is more beneficial to me to add a good fat/oil to help absorb the nutrients of the vegetables and fruits. I'm going to try swapping the avocadoes with kefir or coconut cream/milk to get the good fats/oil in my smoothies. Thanks again. 😊💖

[@RoseSchwinn]

@@tillygirl7450 most welcome Tilly. I studied (and practiced) Food Science, Nutrition and Dietetics. If you can have your vegetables as salads it's even better as many green vegetables loose vitamin C just from getting chopped. But it's better juiced vegetables than none at all; I think we can get away with a nice green juice once in a while. Wishing you lots of good health and a full life🥰

A tip regarding all the hotdrinks: only add the honey when the temperature of your drink has dropped to below 40C or 104F 😊

[@SK-db7zy]

Why is that? Could you please clarify friend.!?

[@tyseer6471]

I think because honey tend to lose it's benefits in high temperature

[@acbarker5311]

​@@ammarahsan5901 Yes

[@rvboondocker2559]

We do not heat any of our beverages because it destroys a lot of the nutrients. Generally start the day with a turmeric/ginger/orange juice shot. When using turmeric, don’t forget to add black pepper as it increases absorption approximately 2000%. When we make beat juice, we just use raw beets, peel them, and then use the juicer to do the rest, generally combining with a full head of celery, a bunch of carrots, and maybe some sort of a melon or apple for extra moisture. Cucumbers also work well. I subscribed.

[@ThePlantTube]

I was thinking of Celery 🤔

[@cannotbeshaken7889]

So, we can make the Jamu Juice one without heating it?? I really want this one, but I agree that it kills everything when boiled for 20 minutes.

[@mjaylith5232]

I Will def give this a try. After suffering a stroke about a yr ago, I have stopped progressing in my therapy. Was told anti-inflammatory might just give me a "boost" and science agrees. I admit my diet is lacking now, but I could learn to love it!

[@zeleniawolfe]

Jamu is bomb! I grew up drinking it probably 3 times a week. I didn't made it myself tho. Btw if you don't have coconut water it's okay to use water. Traditional jamu does not use coconut water. If you want to use it, choose young coconut water. If you have access to fresh young coconut water instead of store bought that's even better!

[@amazingautumn12]

The real honey which is raw and unfiltered should never be put in a hot drink, it completely destroys the honey and even becomes poisonous. If you use the heated honey then ok but that's not honey anymore, just a sugary syrup. Thank you for the recipes 🌷

my anti-inflammatory drink is carrots-beet-apple. it is very effective. it fights anemia! but I will try the others you recommend, as well! also, I wish to recommend a juice which is very effective antiseptic. cabbage and carrot. so it should be drunk in small portions, like 120ml for a limited period of time, on empty stomach. once, I had such terrible bowel hurting that I could not eat anything. this cabbage juice saved me.

Took some inspiration from here. I'm a truck driver with some inflamatory problems I'm fixin. Been makin a big batch of the turmeric tea every week when I get home and big difference. So- I experimented by making a jug of somethin different. Juice 8 green apples and strain the goo off the top- then mix with an equal ammount of green tea, a shot of lemon juice (of course the real stuff) 2 tablespoons of honey and blend. - it's tart but smooth- haven't had such a good clean feeling boost of energy in forever. I'd love to see your version if ya ever get a moment to try it.
