How Juicing Can Help Reduce Inflammation: Top Recipes and Tips

We’re amid a paradigm shift in consumers’ approach to nutrition. The connection between whole-body health and what we eat is acknowledged like never before. Health-conscious consumers track hydration, nutrition, movement, sleep, and vitals with wearables. Many of these apps utilize the information they gather to provide dietary tips geared toward taking a proactive or reactive approach to internal inflammation.

While what’s in their food is more important than ever, consumers still want to enjoy the convenience and social connection of dining out of the house. Restaurants and cafés can leverage this trend by creating recipes for consumers who utilize juicing for inflammation control.

How do you flush inflammation out of your body?

Foods rich in antioxidants help the body naturally expel toxins. Fruits and vegetables contain a high level of antioxidants, making juice an excellent addition to your restaurant menu. Further support consumer health objectives by creating functional juice recipes with fruits, veggies, herbs, and add-ins that support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response.

Does juicing reduce inflammation?

When consumed as part of a well-balanced diet, juice can help reduce inflammation. Prioritize the anti-inflammatory foods below, and keep sugar, trans fat, and processed foods to a minimum.

What is the number one food to reduce inflammation?

There’s no singular food that reduces inflammation more than others. However, some foods are higher in antioxidants.

According to Harvard Health, every anti-inflammatory diet should include:

• Blueberries
• Cherries
• Leafy greens
• Nuts and seeds
• Olive oil
• Omega-rich fish
• Oranges
• Strawberries

How to juice healthy?

When juicing for pain relief, inflammation, or any other wellness objective prioritize the 80/20 rule. This refers to the practice of formulating recipes with 80% vegetables and 20% fruits. This ensures the sugar content stays below the daily suggested amount, while adding enough fruit for flavor and sweetness.

How to juice efficiently?

1. Ensure your kitchen layout promotes operational efficiency with an intuitive flow.
2. Bulk prep fruits and vegetables in the morning or at set times throughout the day.
3. When cold pressing, press juice once. Pressing 2 to 3 times yields more juice but slows production.
4. Bulk juice 1 pre-bottled recipe at a time. Switching between recipes slows you down.
5. Alternate between softer fruits and vegetables and harder fruits and vegetables to minimize resistance.
