So many of us are dealing with inflammation, right? What causes it? Stress is a number one offender, but there are many other triggers: Daily toxins that we are subjected to through our air, food and water, and a poor diet. Other contributing factors may be medication, and especially use of antibiotics. Some of us don’t even know we are suffering from chronic inflammation, we just don’t feel our best. As an insurance policy, why not try my anti-inflammatory smoothie!
