My mom and sister both have arthritis and it is tough boat to be in. Our bodies are sacred like gold and all we should want them to do is thrive and keep moving forward. Yet how frustrating when the body hinders what the mind wants. Our bodies are a machine we are blessed to be given. Use it well and care for it well. Eating a diet with anti-inflammatory properties is one way to care for your body and increase energy levels.

The more you know how to manage inflammation through a real food diet, the easier it is to keep moving forward and conquer the situation.
