In the human body there are a large number of joints, and the knees are among the most important. They support proper posture, allow us to walk, run, jump and stand correctly.
As we gradually age, the risk of injuries and the wear of the knee joints increases.
In addition, the tendons and ligaments found in them lose their elasticity, mobility and proper lubrication.
Although we cannot avoid aging, there are a few ways to strengthen your knees and keep them flexible for longer. This makes movement easier and protects against unpleasant pain.
How to strengthen knee ligaments?
Today we will reveal a recipe for a natural but highly effective smoothie that will help you strengthen and regenerate the ligaments in your knees.
The drink is an excellent source of magnesium, the enzyme bromelain1, vitamin C and silicon. These are substances with strong anti-inflammatory effects that also effectively reduce joint pain.
Besides that, the nutrients found in the individual ingredients provide a lot of energy to other tissues, organs and your whole body.
Ingredients
To make this smoothie you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1 glass of water
- 2 cups of chopped fresh pineapple
- 40 grams of honey
- 40 grams of crushed almonds or almond flour
- 5 grams (2 teaspoons) of Ceylon cinnamon, not Chinese
- 1 glass of fresh orange juice
Preparation
1. First soak the oats in water for at least 1 hour.
2. Then put all the ingredients into a blender and blend well until you get a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
3. And that’s all — your smoothie for healing and regenerating the knee joints is ready!
Usage
The prepared mixture is enough for 3 to 4 servings.
Pour off the first serving immediately after preparing the smoothie and drink it. Pour the rest into a sealable container, place it in the refrigerator and consume it during the day.
It will keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it is best to consume it within 12 hours of preparation, because the amount of beneficial enzymes decreases over time.
Consume the smoothie preferably on an empty stomach.
Because the drink itself contains quite a few calories, you can reduce the intake of other foods while using it, as it will partially replace them.
Consume it several times a week until you notice an improvement in the condition of your knees. This usually occurs after a few weeks of use.
