Summary
Today, we’re going to talk about some of the underlying causes of pain, along with the best natural remedies for pain relief. Joint pain and inflammation don’t always signify arthritis!
t’s important to understand that natural joint pain remedies will not work if you continue to consume foods that cause inflammation. To avoid joint pain and inflammation, it’s vital to avoid the following foods:
•Sugar •High-fructose corn syrup•Seed oils •Gluten •Oxalates•MSG•Maltodextrin•Nightshades (Potatoes, peppers, tomatoes)•Lectins (Beans, peanuts, wheat, soy)
Healthy Keto is a great option to help avoid these inflammatory foods!
If you’re sensitive to oxalates, it may be caused by past antibiotic use. This can make you more susceptible to joint pain, especially when you consume spinach, chocolate, almonds, and Swiss chard. Increasing magnesium intake can help significantly.
Add a teaspoon of turmeric to a glass of half water and half coconut milk for the best joint pain remedy. Add a pinch of black pepper to increase absorption by 2000%. You can also add a scoop of collagen powder for even more joint pain relief! This drink is delicious for most people, but you can add a couple drops of liquid stevia if necessary. Drink this daily. It can also be served warm. This drink works anytime, but try drinking it in the morning for pain relief that lasts all day!
Turmeric has been shown to have similar effectiveness to ibuprofen and other NSAIDS. If you’re taking a turmeric supplement for joint pain relief, take 1000 to 1500 mg daily.
Turmeric inhibits at least four major inflammatory pathways. Coconut milk has beneficial properties and also helps with turmeric absorption. Collagen helps build up the joints.
Boswellia serrata is also an amazing supplement that research has shown to be as effective as NSAIDS without side effects.
Walking is the best exercise for joint pain relief, and it has no side effects. It can also extend your life!

| 0:00.0 | drink this every single day until you don't have joint pain anymore. If we talk about joint |
| 0:04.6 | pain, just because someone has inflammation in the joint doesn't mean they have arthritis. If you're |
| 0:08.8 | eating things that are going to negate or even cause inflammation, this little remedy that you take |
| 0:14.3 | to counter that is not going to work. Before I talk about what you need to add into the diet |
| 0:18.4 | to resolve your joint pain, let's talk about what you need to |
| 0:21.4 | avoid in the diet. Sugar, high fructose corn syrup. If you're doing too much of that, you're going to |
| 0:26.6 | literally put fire into your joints. The second thing is to avoid this stuff right here. Seed oils, |
| 0:33.5 | seed oils like corn oil, soy oil, canola, are very high in omega-6 fatty acids. |
| 0:39.1 | It creates more inflammation versus the omega-3 fatty acids, fish oils, cauliflower, that's very |
| 0:45.6 | anti-inflammatory. |
| 0:47.0 | Then we have gluten. |
| 0:48.0 | Anything with gluten, we're talking about wheat and other grains, has a potential for causing |
| 0:52.6 | a lot of inflammation, not just in your joints, but also in |
| 0:55.6 | your gut. You also have something called oxlets. Oxalids are crystal-like sharp things that can go |
| 1:01.1 | into the joints and cause inflammation, and they can also cause kidney stones. And I really think that |
| 1:07.1 | the people that have problems with oxalids are people that had a history of antibiotics because you have a microbe in your gut that's supposed to eat up these oxalids. |
| 1:16.6 | And if it's missing because you had an antibiotic long ago, then you're more susceptible to having |
| 1:22.6 | this arthritic pain from oxalids, especially when you have spinach, chocolate, almonds, and Swiss chard. If you consume more magnesium in your diet, you can actually really bring these oxalids way down, even if you eat the foods high in oxalids. Then you have other things, too, that can flare up your joints like MSG. You're going to find that in fast food restaurants. Multiduction is a highly refined starch that can also |
| 1:44.7 | flare up your joints. It's in a lot of processed foods. Then you have night shades, potatoes, |
| 1:50.0 | peppers, tomatoes. The last chemical I want to talk about is lectins. That would be in |
| 1:55.5 | beans, peanuts, wheat, and especially soy products. Lectins can increase inflammation. And of course, |
| 2:03.1 | the diet that I recommend doesn't include any of those. So if you just follow that diet, |
