Do you suffer from extreme aches and pains, skin problems and chronic infections? You may have a case of chronic inflammation. Thankfully, there are foods to help ease inflammation in the body, and this inflammation extinguisher smoothie includes just those!
Turmeric is renowned for its incredible anti-inflammatory properties, while the enzymes in papaya are useful in helping ease inflammatory-related pain.
