Travelling with Arthritis

When I realised my diet affected my arthritis I decided that if I went anywhere I would need to pack specific food and cooking items to suit my diet and thus help avoid flares and pain and pain and flares.  This was based on experience of several months of going away some weekends and finding each weekend had extra flares that took several days to recover from.  One choice would be never to go away again: that wasn't my choice.

So I decided I needed to prepare.  Top on my list is my juicer with both a cucumber and (organic) celery, with these I know I can calm my system down should any flares happen.  This won't get rid of any inflammation but by some miracle my bodies pain will begin to ease.

Quinua Buckwheat and Cabbage Dish

With a bit of Tamari sauce, freshly ground black pepper,  and a sprinkling of turmeric this Quinua Buckwheat and Cabbage Dish is easy, quick, tasty and nutritious.

Start by rinsing the Buckwheat and Quinua in plenty of water and removing any floating particles.  Do this until clean.  Then add to a pan covered with about twice the water on a moderate heat .

Chop about three leaves of cabbage and stir in.  Then add Black Pepper and Turmeric.

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until cooked, which should be no more than ten minutes.

Enjoy!
