Balance

Our autoimmune system can be our best friend or our archenemy. When our autoimmune system is functioning optimally, it protects us from disease. When it is overactive it can attempt to destroy us. When it is not active enough, it can leave us unprotected against certain physical threats and disease. When our autoimmune system is in hyperdrive aka overactive, it causes a ton of destruction through inflammation. This inflammation is caused when the body attacks the threats it perceives and is vigilantly protecting against. Individuals with overactive autoimmune systems therefore should avoid consuming foods that exacerbate inflammation like caffeine, alcohol, sugar, dairy, red meats, and grains. Instead, for a healthier immune system flood your system daily with clean, healthy, plant-based foods, healthy fats and anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, matcha green tea, dark leafy greens, and fermented foods. We have you supported at The Power of Juice if your autoimmune system is struggling and its accompanying inflammation are bringing you down.
