🍓🥶 STRAWBRRRRRIES 🥶🍓 _ I’m aware it is VERY COLD outside, but I honestly find making smoothies the easiest, quickest and nourishing way to get my breakfast in the morning. Takes 5 mins. _ 🌈 To make: 🍓 3 LARGE strawberries (as shown - the strawberry on top was to emphasise how large the strawberries in the smoothie are!) 🍓 1 banana. 🍓 200ml almond milk. 🍓 2 tbsp porridge oats. 🍓 2 tbsp @linwoodshealthfoods flaxseed, almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts & co-enzyme Q10. 🍓 And a few splashes of cold to warmish water so it’s not too cold to drink. 🥶 🍓 Blend! I use Breville. _ 🍓Health benefits of strawberries: 🌈 Strawberries reduce elevated blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a substance produced by the liver that increases inflammation in the body. 🌈Boost Immunity with Vitamin C, present in strawberrie help boosts the immune system and helps in curing common cough and cold. A single serving has approximately 150% of your daily requirement of vitamin C! 🌈 Strawberries contain high amounts of beneficial plant compounds and antioxidants. 🌈 As well as a good source of vitamin C, they also contain manganese, folate (vitamin B9), and potassium. They contain small amounts of several other vitamins and minerals. 🌈 @arthritisfoundation recommends eating strawberries as they are abundant in antioxidants and detoxifiers, which help reduce gout and arthritis pain. They also aid in preventing arthritis symptoms such as degeneration of muscles and tissue. 🌈 Research has also shown that women who ate 16 or more strawberries a week had lower C-reactive protein (CRP), a measure of body-wide inflammation linked to arthritis flares and heart disease. _ #ArthritisFoodie

👍 NO BUTS ALLOWED 👍 _ 🚫No ‘BUT’s are permitted here in the @arthritisfoodie community, and I don’t tolerate them anywhere else either (apart from on this post 😂). _ ➡️ How many ‘BUT’s have you received? 🙃 but, you look totally fine. 🙃 but, you don’t look like you’re in pain. 🙃 but, you won’t die from it. 🙃 but, you’re not old. 🙃 but, you’re on medication (tablets, injections, pain killers, steroids, immunosuppressants, biologics for life is totally bearable 🤥 {ps. you are all so brave}). _ 👉 INSERT YOUR ‘BUT’ BELOW that people have said to you!! “But, you........” _ 🌈 Arthritis does not care for anyone’s BUTs, because it can happen to anyone at any age, and with no cure, we learn to live with something everyday that others (ignorantly and innocently) don’t understand. _ 🌈 So, BUTs aren’t welcome here, but kindness, positivity and compassion is! _ 🌈 There’s over 100 different types of arthritis and it can change in severity from person to person, as well as from day to day. _ 🌈 With arthritis effecting hundreds of millions of us all over the globe from 8 year olds to 80 year olds, redefining the image people have in their heads of what arthritis is *supposed* to look like is an absolute priority of @arthritisfoodie. _ 👩🏻‍🦰 I don’t post my face a lot on main posts, but this is me, and this is what arthritis *looks* like - taken last weekend when I was 2 out of 5 days in of a fatigue & tension headache. It’s always invisible! _ ♥️ If you’ve been following @arthritisfoodie from the beginning, thank you for still supporting this community and raising awareness for arthritis! _ 👋 If you’re new here, hello, welcome!! Please stick around and help us to change perceptions of arthritis! There’s lots of yummy recipes along the way, and plenty of inspiration on how to live well and positively with arthritis too. _ We’ve got this! Emily x

🧘‍♀️DO YOU YOGA?🧘‍♀️ _ ➡️ Have you tried yoga, or stretching classes before? Maybe a pilates class? It would be lovely if you could share your experiences with everyone below! 😊 _ 🧘‍♀️I began trying yoga at home in my bedroom doing yoga basics YouTube videos and found the stretching part really helpful. I worried about going to a class and “overdoing” it or, getting the positions wrong! _ 🧘‍♀️But, I downloaded an app called ClassPass, for a free months’ trial, which gave me access to loads of yoga studios and classes near me. _ 🧘‍♀️With some help from my friend, I went with her to classes that were for anyone of any yogi stage and not too intense! _ 🌈 For me, I find that it helps me to get movement in my joints gently, stretch, and relax both my body and my mind. I’ve now bought a yoga matt (£10), a yoga block (£5) to do it at home properly and a foam roller for releasing tension (my friend gave me this for Christmas). _ 🌈 The @arthritisfoundation says, “People with various types of arthritis who practice yoga regularly can reduce joint pain, improve joint flexibility and function, and lower stress and tension to promote better sleep. Many people turn to yoga as a way to exercise gently, as well as to reduce tension and improve joint flexibility.” _ Thanks to anyone who answered the polls on my stories! If you were one of those, would definitely love to hear more about your yogi experiences 🥰❤️ _ #ArthritisFoodie

👟I LIVE IN THESE👟 (NOT an Ad) _ 😍 I actually don’t know what I would do without these trainers 😂❤️ I’ve spoken about them on Instagram Stories, then realised that they deserve a proper post... _ ‼️BECAUSE, I just went on the website and they’re on offer again! £42.48 on the Adidas website (will do a swipe up on stories!) _ 🌈 They’re called: ALPHABOUNCE BEYOND SHOES and they’re from Adidas, but I got mine in June last year from Keller Sports on offer there, as they’d sold out on Adidas at the time. _ 👉 Why these trainers? 👟 Lightweight. My trainers before were so much heavier and put strain on my ankles. 👟 Comfy. Gosh they are so so comfortable and I genuinely do wear them everyday. The bounce cushioning provides enhanced comfort and flexibility. 👟 Supportive. These shoes support your feet so well and have flexible cushioning with wide, stable platforms in the forefoot and heel. Plus the mould heel counter is natural in shape so allows optimal movement of the Achilles. 👟 Easy to put on. Sock-like construction hugs the foot and they’re so easy to slide on (if the laces are already tied) if you struggle with lacing every day. 👟 Long lasting. I’ve had mine for 6 months and they have hardly worn out, even though I wear them everyday. _ 🌈🙏 PLEASE COMMENT BELOW 🙏🌈 with any shoes, trainers, slippers, FEET products that have helped you! Hopefully we can share lots of ideas!! ❤️❤️❤️ thank you! _ Product code of these is: CG5581, if you wanted to look them up. _ #ArthritisFoodie

❤️ YOU ARE IN CONTROL ❤️ _ 🌈 Living with arthritis means that you, more often than not, feel like you are not in control. You can’t always control where the arthritis is, how it behaves, or the pain of it. _ 🥺 It’s hard to control your emotions sometimes too, when it gets a little too much: a little too painful, a little too much swelling, a little too many blood tests and a little too much medication. _ 🙏 But, where you can, try to control these two things - your ATTITUDE towards your body and your arthritis... and your GRATITUDE for things in life you might take for granted occasionally. _ 💪 Because, who is living your life and living inside your body? Nobody, but you! So make it a loving, kind and patient place to be. And who has the life you do? Not anyone, but you. Be grateful for those wonderful moments in life that you can’t buy, or bottle - and save them for the bad moments in life - to remind you that it’s not as bad as it seems, it will get better, and you are going to always be okay! ❤️❤️❤️ _ #ArthritisFoodie
