When it comes to pain relief, most people look to the drug store for an over the counter remedy.
Not very many people go to their refrigerator and take out a bottle of Tart Cherry Juice concentrate to relieve pain, but this just might be the better solution for several reasons.
Let me give you some basic information about free radicals, antioxidants and inflammation and then you can decide if going to the refrigerator makes sense to you.
First let's look at free radicals.
I'm sure you've heard about them and have a basic understanding.
Simply, free radicals are toxins which can be from your environment, drugs or even by-products of digestion.
They steal electrons from your healthy cells and create weak unhealthy cells.
When your cells are weak, you will eventually become weak or sick.
You can keep free radicals from further damaging your cells by making sure you include enough antioxidants in your diet.
Antioxidants are believed by scientists to play a role in reducing the risk of many degenerative diseases caused by free radicals.
Science defines inflammation as the way the body reacts to either an infection, irritation or some type of injury creating redness, warmth, swelling and pain.
You probably recognize these symptoms and associate them with arthritis, fibromyalgia, gout and others, possibly loss of joint movement or function.
So with basic information under our belt, let's get back to the title of this article - 10 Times More Effective Than Aspirin.
